Tech — Work — Ramblings

by Mike Kalvas

I see you're not using JavaScript (which is awesome!) on one of my pages that uses it to provide a better experience. If you see something not working right, please let me know. My site should work exactly the same without it apart from any exceptions noted here.

I use prism.min.js to do syntax highlighting. It clocks in at 23kb total in size. Since the majority of the writing I do involves coding, I personally find this to be a worthwhile trade off. If you choose to keep this disabled, rest assured, the code examples are still there, they just may have some extra whitespace and obviously no syntax highlighting.

I do no tracking at all and am a zealot about keeping my pages as small as possible. If you're reading a page of mine that transfers more than about 250kb over the wire (including my most gratuitous indulgence — fonts) I've messed up.

So, if you'd like to have a slightly richer experience, consider enabling javascript for my site and I promise your trust won't be misplaced.

202402241550 A renewable stock constrained by another renewable stock

One example of a system with a renewable stock that's constrained by another renewable stock is the fishing industry. Similar to the oil economy example of 202402241536 A renewable stock constrained by a non-renewable stock, the capital and resource are constrained in the same ways but the resource can be replenished. The competing rates of these different loops can cause drastically different behaviors of the end system ranging from extinction to exponential population growth.¹
