What the author is saying rings true. I've been interested in electronics since I was in Kindergarten. I worked as a EE without a BSEE for 30 years after working as an Electronics Technician right out of high school. I did get a Bachelors in Computer Science at 10 years in with the help of tuition assistance from the company I was working for at the time.

I enjoy building hardware using microcontrollers and FPGA's.
and have several open source projects on Github.

Companies put too much emphasis on credentials, and not enough emphasis on recruiting and mentoring people who build electronics and programming for fun. It is these people who build things which change the world.
It's easy to dismiss criticism by complaining that it doesn't propose solutions, but the two are distinct and unrelated activities.

The purpose of criticism is not to be directly helpful by proposing better solutions, but to help eliminate the wrong ones.

You are largely correct, but rooftop solar is fairly popular in Australia, and EV owners are much more likely than average to also buy rooftop solar. This is for economic reasons as much as ideological ones - solar pays for itself a lot faster if you're using that much more electricity - so there's a potnetial for a virtuous cycle that goes beyond whatever the current power generation mix happens to be.
Ten years later, the story of Suck.com (2005)
It would make life interesting for multistorey car parks. It's not uncommon to have 500+ spaces. If each one of those has something between 3-50kW charge capacity, and many are being used at once, that's going to require some serious infrastructure upgrading (maxes out at ~25MW if I didn't flub the numbers). A wild ass guess would put them in the maybe-hundreds of kW for lighting, ventilation, automation, so that's a pretty big step.

Then again, they'd be in a pretty good position to monitor spaces used and already have a billing system for parking time, adding cost of power would be quite straightforward.

And it's going to be a long time before 100% electric occupancy is a real problem.
It's maybe not cleaner, but the waste is more under control, localized.
I don't think that's fair. "The West" is not a monolith. You can like and dislike certain cultural, political, and social realities and like others. Your characterization of issues seems very tribal.
Great list, some really useful commands.

One question: What's wrong with "locate"? It is really fast because the file system contents are indexed. As long as you understand that it's not going to pick up the latest new files without running "updatedb" (sudo/usr/libexec/locate.updatedb" in os x) first, it's much better than find if you're doing a quick search.

However, I didn't know spotlight has a CLI. Cool.

You don't need to cycle to help the grid, just temporarily stopping charging for short periods and/or delaying overnight charging to off-peak times helps enormously.

And you don't do it for free, the org operating the charger can get electricity cheaper if it agrees to modulate load to match demand.
College/University software tracks are very poor in teaching you how to develop SaaS type programs. A bachelor's for CompSci will introduce you to different types of programming, the majority of which you will never use in professional development.

There is a real disconnect between the skills taught in college to the skills needed in the work environment. If you're going to college to learn coding so you can get a job, then you're being done a disservice by being taught things you'll never need.

I wonder how effective these "hacker" schools are. The ones I investigated didn't seem interested in best practices, it was a real focus on getting code on the screen. That can be a hugely damaging mindset working on large, complicated software.
I would recommend not to go with a fixed rate project.I have been doing freelancing for quite sometime now. Unless your clients have some technical knowledge, I'm very sure the requirements will change once you start working on the project.

Also you have to think about how long you'll have to support the client after you handover the project. I usually give 3 months support & warranty period (which is billed).
The reason why adults in the netherlands are biking is because they started at age 7 or younger. So at least from this perspective it's a sound design principle. Making safe bikeways is easy and benefits 7 year olds and adults alike: instead of making streets have [bike lane][car lane][car lane][bike lane] make streets like [car lane][car lane] || [bike lane][bike lane].

I think, you may get oddly looking code with such ligature fonts if you declare your own operators that contain ligatured pieces as parts.

For exmaple the operator >>== will probably have the first three characters joined in the ligature {>==}=

Operators ==== and (four asterisks) may look very strange too.
I've found HPKP and HSTS easy to trivial, but gave up on deploying CSP. It's major refactoring when so much stuff directly includes 3rd party CSS and script, or just injects static CSS and JS in to pages inline.

There really aren't many respectful ways to call someone an apologist or saying someone writes linkbaits. There is the Windows bashing meme (I, personally, don't like Windows very much) but this article has shown an interesting fact about Windows management UIs that, probably, Microsoft should rework a bit. And then there are the triggers brudgers and tptacek mentioned. We are human and fallible and we should keep that in mind as much as humanly possible.

It's unfortunate that response headers on a secure website need to be bloated so much to receive benefits that should be default on modern sites. I imagine a world where you specifically have to opt-in to unsafe behavior, not the other way around, but of course this would break many existing sites.

For those of you looking at this, I've found the X-Frame-Options (to prevent clickjacking via iframe) and Content-Security-Policy (to restrict eval, inline JS, JS and embed sources and more) to be the most useful headers by far. If you can run CSP without 'unsafe-eval' or 'unsafe-inline' and restrict all sources to your local domain, your site's security will be much better for it as an entire range of attacks is eliminated on modern browsers.

Of course they are all worth looking at. Scott's header test (https://securityheaders.io) is a great check for your own sites.

Electricity here in Ontario costs twice as much during the day as it does at night (US$0.12 vs US$0.06 per kwh). If you cycle most of a Tesla battery every day that's ~$120 a month in electricity savings. Not sure if that offsets the battery lifespan costs, but it's not nothing.

I recommend adding something similar to aws lambda or similar features as firebase - in this way you can be most of the UI and some simple scripts to add domain specific logic when needed. In theory some of the logic could be UI driven like when this field has this value perform this action...

Do Java Native Interfaces suffer the same sort of problem?
Those are two incredibly different things. What you are talking about and linked to was a bug. That has nothing to do with miner colluding with each other to modify the ledger to their benefit.
Some day that will probably happen, but of course the issue is that it would break every site that relies on the less secure behavior.
Every language's syntax internal representation can be inferred by reading it's text layout. It's what parsers do and people can, too.

How "similar" internal representation needs to be to its textual version to be homoiconic is subjective.

In Erlang an expression:

2+3.

yields this AST:

{op,1,'+',{integer,1,2},{integer,1,3}}

You can strip line and type annotations (you could also easily add them to the Prolog example below), which will get you:

{'+', 2, 3}

If you scroll down the Wiki page you cite, you'll see an example in Prolog, where this:

X is 2*5

yields AST of this shape:

is(_, *(2, 5))

The important similarity here is that all elements of ASTs are still first class objects in the language. You can manipulate them in their raw form with the same functions you'd use for manipulating any other data. In other words, once you have an AST, you don't need to evaluate it, it's enough to just read it.

This is not true for Python. An expression:

2+3

yields:

Expression(body=BinOp(left=Num(n=2), op=Add(), right=Num(n=3)))

An AST here cannot be manipulated in its raw form here. To manipulate it - the representation itself - you'd have to parse it again or evaluate it to use special methods on AST objects.

So this is the practical definition of homoiconicity I came up with. You are of course free to disagree. I'm stressing "practical" here, because what I'm interested in is how easy it is to manipulate the AST to write macros. Homoiconicity for the sake of homoiconicity is of no interest to me.

PS. BTW, maybe I should base my argument on Lisp instead of Prolog. If you read the Wikipedia page carefully you'll see the part on Lisp says the same thing I do above.
Here is a very different font: https://github.com/mikekchar/MUmePlusGothic

I sometimes need Japanese characters on the console, so I got in the habit of using this font. The only thing I did was return the backslash character to be an actual backslash character (rather than yen symbol, which most Japanese fonts do).

Sorry, I don't have a picture of it (and I couldn't even find a good picture because they only show Japanese characters ;-) ). It's quite a nice programmer font, but just about the opposite to Consolas. Consolas is short and wide, whereas Ume Plus is very narrow. This gives you more columns, rather than more lines. I often split my screen left and right (tests on the right hand side) and due to poor vision, I have massive fonts. This gives me a few extra columns to work with.

"And since the thin ink flows more quickly, I have to refill the pen frequently."

While technically true, that fountain pens will use more ink, keep in mind that (a) ink is cheap, (b) refilling is easy, and (c) some[1] pens have a larger ink capacity.

It really depends on what you are doing. If it's formatting documents for printing, you're right. If, however, you want a document all 30 participants in a group can collaboratively edit, Google is the way to go.

If you look at BMW's current marketing names for the i3 and the i8, it describes the i3, both with and without the REx, as "electric", whereas the i8 is a "plug-in hybrid", and does have a hybrid powertrain. Obviously it can be argued that the i3 with the REx is a hybrid, but it's clear to me that BMW intends to build an i8-like 3 series.

As an American with UK dual Citizenship, I see a disturbing trend in the UK: The Americanization of labo(u)r law.

Employment-at-will needs to be abolished worldwide, and a resonalble set of rules based on "just-cause" need to be imposed at the trade treaty level which level the playing field, and discourage these tough employer cultures from developing.

If there are set of workplace rules in place which are the same in all developed countries, and there are consequences for breaking these rules, the problem would not exist.
A better understanding of addiction is the key to effective treatment – and treatment really isn't very effective right now – so the question is whether the harm from any increased stigma is offset by the benefit of better treatments.

It's always possible to willfully misinterpret Marc Lewis' message as saying that addicts just need to grow a spine, and it's definitely possible that a certain group of people will try to appropriate him to that end, but the interview itself is very nuanced.

Thanks. I get that part. After digging a bit, it seems the implementation of IO is in fact a bit magical [1] (and not possible to implement in pure Haskell). GHC's IO is implemented using a GHC-internal pseudo-state monad that uses a magical "world" value to enforce linear ordering — all of which, I'm guessing, would prevent the compiler from accidentally optimizing away or memoizing side-effectful functions?

Edit: I find it interesting that Haskell tutorials and books generally don't try to peel away some of Haskell's abstractions. Many texts will tell you that "IO a" represents an "action" and expect you to take this at face value, intead of explaining how this is distinguishable from a mere function, and how it's implemented internally. For example, I would say one of the big eureka moments for any Haskell learner is to realize how lazy-evaluated graphs of functions can turn into linearly-ordered programs thanks to the transparent "baton passing" of monad chaining (IO in particular). But I've yet to find a text which articulates this idea very well.

With the widespread adoption of the ebike the cycling has gotten another impulse. With the help of the motor larger distances can be covered with ease, instead of people cycling 5-8km to work you now see a lot more people covering something like 10-15km with the bike (I myself do around 16*2 if it's not raining or bitter cold).

The bike saves a ton of emissions, helps in the reduction of traffic jams thus saving a lot of polution and cycling is healthy. But even in the Netherlands the politicians don't always get it, this year the tax rebate for bikes bought for home-work trips has been canceled.. Too expensive, I really can't see how, but hey.
Which of these two options do you think would work better for you?

1. Working 4 hours a day 48 weeks a year
2. Working 8 hours a day for a month, working only every other month?

If you answered #1 that's part-time, if you answered #2 that's freelance or contract work. Those are obviously generalizations but the exercise is still useful.

You may want to check out UpWork or www.remoteok.io for contract and part-time jobs.

I hope this helped some.
The reason I ask, is because especially in a social and political culture, the USA and the Netherlands are vastly different.

We Dutch are social democrats, and (nearly) any politician from the USA would be considered extreme-right here. Our healthcare, education and justice systems are way different.

Our media is nothing like the american media in terms of shock and entertainment value. Most newspapers and news stations stick to reporting the news, and do not sensationalize.

Work and living culture is very different as well. Here, people do not hail 'the american dream' and overachievers. People strive to be happy, and work only as much as necessary to achieve that. 80% is the norm here, not full time.

The only thing that I can think of as being americanised is pop music.
PowerVR isn't documented. The board just isn't very interesting to any operating system project other than Linux, other aspects of I/O are weak too.
Here's an example of a real difference in the brain that predicts an interesting relationship with psychoactive substances, both endogenous and exogenous: the OPRM1 A118G SNP. There's evidence that it predicts (i) a much greater risk of alcohol dependence; (ii) a much greater chance that naltrexone can be used to successfully treat said alcoholism once it happens; and (iii) a requirement for dramatically more opioid pain medication to achieve equal pain relief after surgery. This is a functional polymorphism that changes the way beta-endorphin binds in the brain; i.e. it's a real physical thing that you're born with. FAAH 385A is another interesting one.
That's a big claim. Do you have big evidence to back it up?

Take into consideration that 2 nuclear bombs dropped on Japan did not cause Japan to not exist afterwards. In fact, the damage and death toll from those two bombs was less than from the wholly conventional Tokyo firestorm.

Yes, nuclear technology is a big lever, and yes, big levers are dangerous. But it's simply not as earth-shatteringly more dangerous as people believe.

Remember that there have been no deaths so far from the Fukushima meltdown, which was about as bad as you can imagine, with bad siting, bad technology, bad safety precautions, awful handling etc. At the same time, the Tsunami that caused the meltdown did cause over 15000 deaths.

Burning Man: The Musical
I met Nick when I visited the Broad Institute a few years ago. Fun guy. He told a shaggy mosquito joke that somehow ended up with the challenge of extracting DNA from tiny mosquito testicles.

I question just how effective our belief that evolution and development can be understood from just treating DNA as an information science- and I say that as a person who has been doing precisely that for 20+ years. I'm finding, more and more, there are variables that contribute a lot to evo devo that have nothing to do with the specific sequence of coding regions, and more and more to do with the more cryptic (heh) regions. Although we apply more and more DNA sequencing scaling, and more and more information theory- our rate of knowledge discovery appears to be flattening out.

I've realigned my research interests around cellular biology, specifically high throughput imaging of induced pluripotent stem cells, because it appears that those systems can provide us with a lot more direct experimental evidence, and that evidence is more consistent with the behavior of systems, than what can be extracted from DNA using the best statistical techniques.
As an ex-heroin addict, I agree. I also agree with the author/scientist who was interviewed in the article; my personal addiction was far more behaviour based than it was a disease. Becoming an addict takes practice and choices, and it was taking responsibility for that, along with a great support system from my family and governmental medical help that helped me break the 6 year cycle. As of today, I've been clean for three years. That said, N=1, and from others I used to associate with (many who are no longer with us), the disease model makes more sense.

Basically, I think addiction is complex, and any one way of thinking about it will likely miss a lot.
