Remember when people thought “trickle down” economics actually worked? Perhaps if we give a lot more money to the rich it will start working one day, somehow? That seems to be the current plan, but I have another idea: what if we reversed it and used “trickle up” to give money to those most in need? All the data I can find, including our rgmii.org data and studies in progress, all seem to show that this direction works. ⬆️

@codinghorror I used to watch Telethons like Children in Need and Red Nose Day and feel really good about about the £40 million or so raised. Now I realise how insignificant that is when there are people who could really make a difference, without even noticing, but don't. The 7 year old saving their pocket money has more humanity.

Turns out people who know struggle are far, far more generous than the rich. Plus MacKenzie Scott out there showing everyone else how it should be done. If I had billions, believe me, our family would have deployed half of it already, as we already did: https://blog.codinghorror.com/launching-the-rural-guaranteed-minimum-income-initiative/

@codinghorror They talk about "trickle-down", by me "bubble-up" is more realistic.

@codinghorror Thr Conservative Finance minister here in Sweden was talking trickle
down the other day when she announced tax cuts and a budget deficit. Media let it slide. -

@codinghorror "Trickle down" is sharecropping grown up. If the Big Man gets richer, maybe he'll put indoor plumbing in the shacks.

@codinghorror
Which way is up? The people on your list are some of the lowest of the low. -

@codinghorror Trickle down hasn’t worked since Ancient Rome and beyond. I’m not sure why people still believe it ever worked today.

@codinghorror When I think of it, I imagine a pyramid on a table pointing at the rich person and they start explaining and the poorer people on the other side assume their side is the bottom and not the top.

@codinghorror If you have a million and give a million people $1 each, 100% of it is spent. If you give a thousand people $1000 each, probably most if not all of it is spent. If you give one person all of the money, they’ll most likely spent some of it and either save or invest the rest in shares or some other unproductive hoarding. Even more so if the person already has more money than they could ever spend.
So, even for purely economic reasons, giving to those in need is the way to go. -

@codinghorror how much of that is their donation to their own organization?

@codinghorror They stopped being generous when they stopped fearing being dragged out of their homes by their employees and executed.

@codinghorror Well, that is what government should be about. For the people.
The taxes have a real value and power, but clearly, not in the direction of the over-rich. They really need 1 more mega yacht. Just this one, the last one, I promise.But somehow, this would be socialism, and it is VERY VERY bad for some people (those rich people who made this a bad word).

@codinghorror Elon has donated $0.5B to charities over his entire life but $0.25B just to elect Trump. Tax these mfers and repeal Citizens United

@codinghorror interesting to rank by net worth and % giving.
Never would have guessed Zuck would be near the top of the list for percentage giving. Elon at the bottom fits though.

@dxzdb yeah but he "gave" it to self serving bullshit. Look more closely.

@BoredomFestival yes, now tell me step by step how we do that. I know one way, which is increasingly the only viable way I can see due to how badly the couples counseling is going, but nobody wants to hear it.

Zip-Drive Emulator Puts Big Disks Back on LPT
Iomega’s Zip drives filled an interesting niche back in the 1990s. A magnetic disk that was physically floppy-sized, but much larger in capacity– starting at 100 MB, and reaching 750 MB by the end–they never quite had universal appeal, but never really went away until flash memory chased them out of the marketplace in the early 2000s. While not everyone is going to miss them, some of us still think it’s a better form factor than having a USB stick awkwardly protruding from a computer, or microSD cards that are barely large enough to see with the naked eye. [Minh Danh] is one of those who still has affection for Zip drives, and when his parallel port Zip 100 drive started to give up the ghost last year, he decided to do something bold: reverse engineer it, and produce an emulator. First software, and then in hardware.
It’s not the prettiest-ever prototype, but lots of great things start with a mess of wires.
The first was to create a virtual zip drive that could run on a virtual machine and be accessed with DOS or Windows up to XP. The next task was to move that functionality onto a microcontroller to create something like a GoTek floppy emulator for LPT Zip drives that he’s calling the LPT100. Yes, Zip drives were built for APATI, SCSI, FireWire and USB, too, but [Minh]’s was on the parallel port and that’s what he wanted to replace, so the LPT interface is what set out to recreate.It works, too, though took more guts than was expected– the 8-bit PIC18F4680 he started with just wasn’t up to the task. He moved up to a 32-bit PIC, the PIC32MZ2048EFH144 to be specific, which proved adaquate when testing with his Book 8088, a new DOS PC from 2023. Iomega’s official driver won’t run on an 8088, but the PALMZIP utility does and was able to transfer files, though only at the slow nibble rate due to limitations with the Book8088’s LPT hardware. Watch it in action below.
Alas, moving up to the Pocket386, it seemed the PIC just could not keep up. [Minh] says he’s thinking of moving to the faster Teensy 4.1, which sounds like a good idea. Considering the Teensy can be configured to serve as a drop-in replacement for a 68000, bit-banging the bus at 7.8 MHz, we’d think it should handle anything a parallel port can throw at it.
Thanks to [Minh Danh] for the tip!

@kertinker There is an extension for Vulkan that lets you use printf in GLSL shaders.
