The dependency ratio is a demographic measure that compares the number of people typically not in the workforce (dependents) with the number of people who are typically of working age (the productive population).
It is an indicator of the potential economic burden on the working population and helps in planning for social services like healthcare and education. 
Demographers in Ottawa freaked out when Canada's fertility rate hit an historical low on par with Italy and Japan, two societies statistically on a path to extinction. The hyper immigration between 2022 to 2024 was a policy choice.

The Trump administration claims there was no need for Congress to authorize the military attack in Venezuela because the military was merely supporting a โlaw enforcement operationโ (i.e., executing arrest warrants against the Maduros). Thatโs wrong on multiple counts. 1/20
Under our Constitution, decisions about when, where, and against whom to deploy military force are made by Congress, not the president. This system ensures that the solemn decision to risk U.S. blood and treasure is made with democratic debate and public accountability. 2/20
When U.S. military aircraft drop bombs on another country, killing 80 people in the process, thatโs a use of military force, regardless of the intent. Even Hegseth described it as a โjoint military and law enforcement raidโ rather than a pure law enforcement action. 3/20

they did not love their lives so much
as to shrink from death

@gmail I'm not circling back. You know why, @Google and @Gmail? Because you decided that the fact that I didn't own a cell phone was grounds for locking me out of my own Gmail account for the rest of my life.
I had the right password and access to my contact email, but you didn't care.

@gmail @Google I've used my Gmail account for years, using the same computer at the same location, one not open to the general public, but now you're telling me that you don't have enough information to know that I'm me, so you're going to deny me access to my own account "for my own good."
@gmail @Google Kind of seems more like a shakedown than an attempt to be helpful, but OK.
In the process you're denying me access to my own blog on @Blogger and my channel on @Youtube, not to mention everything I had registered using Gmail, but please, do tell me how I'm benefitting from this

2026 is the year Linux finally catches up to...UNIX.
No, seriously. Tiered memory architectures were solved in UNIX decades ago.
The era of pretending "all RAM is equal" is becoming unaffordable.
Thankfully, software is getting pretty clever:

Transparent Page Placement (TPP) is the modern linux equivalent of a very old idea.
Remember earlier in my series where we talked about CXL, and the latency penalty?
Turns out, having the Kernel place rarely accessed pages in the slower bucket (CXL) works pretty well.

The whole point of course is to get the best bang for the buck.
Not all memory needs to be fast.
If the OS handles it, and it's otherwise transparent to the user...why not? Especially with the current shortages.

Sikorski: Putin may have hoped, as he did from the beginning, that democracies are pathetic, democracies don't have the staying power.
Now he has to be ready to fight for another two years. And it's not clear that his army and his economy can bear that burden. 1/

Sikorski: The list of agreements where West Europeans decide above the heads of Central and Eastern Europe is a long and a very unhappy one.
And we know what they are. The latest ones, of course, were Minsk I and Minsk II, and we don't need a Minsk III. 2/

2. Many rash conclusions are often drawn following one WJC, negative and positive. Bad luck in a SF shootout and you finish fourth. Some luck in the same shootout and you win gold. Chill. >
3. To really determine a trend in your development work one needs to count in the last 4 or 5 tournaments. And the point of the dev-program is not necessarily winning WJC-gold. Itโs to develop players. >
๐จ January 6: The greatest HOAX ever pulled on the American people.
It divided us, demonized us, and damaged our nation like nothing else.
Today, the White House released the official timeline showing what actually happened.
The mainstream media doesnโt want you to see this, but YOU deserve the truth.

Pre Jan 6: President Trump Invites Americans to Washington D.C.
12:00pm - 1:15pm: President Trump Delivers Powerful Speech
5 years ago today, our Capitol was attacked. A year ago, Trump pardoned the worst attackers as a reward for their violence.
You should know them.
1/ Let's start with David Dempsey - he was out for blood: pepper sprayed officers, stomped on their heads, beat them with poles.

2/ This is DJ Rodriguez. He posted: "There will be blood. Welcome to the revolution". He beat officers with a wooden pole, tasered an officer in the neck causing a heart attack.
3/ Here is Thomas Webster. He led the charge to break into the Capitol. He beat officers with a metal pole, held one down so rioters could brutally kick him.
