And what happens if you load the AMP version from their server, which IMHO is the fairer comparison when discussing complaints about the Google cache of it? AMP as a "document standard" on top of HTML would IMHO already solve a lot.
Thanks, I understand your perspective much better.

Regarding the last point, I've always just re-run my last command. If the commands are broken up into separate independent scripts (e.g. install ElasticSearch, install Kibana, etc.), then I might only re-run the script (-c) that was failing to ensure that works, before re-running the whole spec (-z).
With improvements in refrigeration technology they may never. If you compare installing geo-thermo 10 years ago vs someone who installed an air source heat pump, and then upgraded (at optimal times picked on hindsight), the latter has paid less for equipment, and his yearly costs are now less as well. Geothermal equipment is enough more expensive that upgrading doesn't help those numbers much even though the expensive pipes in the ground are still perfectly good.

Of course there is eventually a limit in efficiency gains. When you reach that limit geothermal has advantages that will pay off eventually. 10 years ago at least you should not have installed geothermal. What the next 10 years will bring is beyond my knowledge.
I recently took a flight with Virgin Atlantic and was actually pleasantly surprised. It still wasn't perfect, but it was by far the best I've seen from in-flight entertainment.
My response was to the parent comment, not to the article specifically
Whats I find really surprising is how far down on the top-grossing movies it goes before reaching a romantic drama or comedy. The top 20 is exclusively animated and action movies (sometimes both). The first romantic drama was listed at rank 52, selling around 1/10 of tickets of that of #1.

Would be interesting to see the same data visualized for each genre, and maybe number how many movies of each type was produced in 2016.
Quite so. What we now call natural science was all mixed together with supernatural, occult sciences. The two were separated only as a result of centuries of careful thought, plus the fact that the natural sciences made enormous progress, whereas the occult sciences just kept going around in the same circles.
I think it will get worse with time as younger generations have never experienced lag-free appliance technology.
Not the OP, but... that's not how it works. (a) It is the responsibility of the person making an assertion to back it up. If you disagree, god says you need to give me all your money.

Really interesting that (if I'm reading the article right) you can take an already-compresed JPEG, recompress it losslessly using another technique to get better compression than the original compressed JPEG, and then decompress it to the original JPEG again.

The concept makes sense but I'd never thought of that before.

The worst of my time was using Oracle, around 2008. Back then SolarWinds was just a consulting company. And I don't really do much relational work anymore. A lot of my stuff ends up being documents with simple keys organized in hierarchical ways, and the few relational things I do are easily handled with that model, and wouldn't justify an actual database.

Risky? What is the definition of risk? What was the downside to Newton making these 'bets'? What was the risk of Andressen deciding in college to think that what he did was the right way to go? And importantly (and my point) wouldn't the exact same action by a tenured professor be more of a risk?

Let's take the risk that Donald Trump took vs. Hillary Clinton. Trump is hated by many now and would be regardless of whether he won or lost the election (in many ways decimated his brand). The same is not true for Hillary even though she did take a reputation hit it's nowhere near what Trump (with his rhetoric) took. So same thing "run for President" different people different levels of risk.

The difference between alchemy and modern chemistry is alchemy is based on a mystic, supernatural view of reality, whereas chemistry assumes reality is basically natural. That makes a huge difference, and chemistry would never have gotten very far if it had stuck with the old metaphysics.
It is probably a false dichotomy to think of this in terms of "1929 standard of living" vs. "what we have today".

I don't see any compelling reason (but I haven't thought about it too hard) to believe that we couldn't have some sort of an increase in standard of living and a decrease in average hours/week worked.

The trade offs are obviously complex, though.
Thanks. I was really disappointed to see what happened to HowStuffWorks. I loved reading it in high school, and it likely planted the idea in my head that a single person could start a learning site.

I don't think it matters what his particular theology was. What matters is that theology matters. It affects how people experience and interpret religion, which has a vast impact on the world. So the article's utter dismissal of theology as a waste of time seems misguided to me.

Alchemy as well was not so ridiculous as people seem to think. Modern hatred for alchemy seems more like a way of patting ourselves on the back and saying "We're so smart! Good thing we don't believe in that nonsense like those benighted fools hundreds of years ago." But in reality alchemy was a pre-scientific attempt at understanding the world which, if I understand correctly, merged more or less directly into what we no consider science.

It seems to me that the two things PG dismissed completely in his article are in fact the foundations upon which our modern world is largely built. There's more to the world than physics...even if physics is, in a sense, all there is.

I mean, advertising is a bit infamous for this. Outside of immediate-action advertising ("Want to buy this?" and "Click here"), it's very hard to prove the effects of a given program.

Sales boosters like coupons are already tricky - did they create new buyers, reengage existing buyers, or do customers just hold off on buying until there's a discount? And brand awareness ads are even harder - did your Toyota add two years ago drive a sale today? You can't even survey for that, since in theory it works on people who don't remember it consciously.

So I have a dark suspicion that advertising is more full of stupid metrics than most roles, simply because real analytics are harder to produce.

I agree the ambiguous return code is a major limitation of SSH. I think I'll just avoid any retry logic and treat every failure the same: fail immediately and let the user to decide how to retry. Since posixcube does most of its execution over a single SSH connection (packaging all commands/cubes into a cube_exec.sh which is executed remotely), I think the immediate need for automatic retry on failing to connect over SSH isn't large.

Rather than rolling your own password system, I would recommend diceware.com for strong passwords (including master passwords) that you can memorize (I am bad at memorization, and have memorized 129 bit passwords this way, and 64 bit passwords are kind of a breeze to memorize).

For the long tail of passwords that you shouldn't be memorizing in the first place, a password manager with a good configurable password generator is invaluable. I use Lastpass (I like the breadth of it's platform support: all major consumer OSes, all major mobile OSes, extensions for all major browsers). Alternatively, lot of people recommend 1password.

Diceware has better guarantees, but the password managers are usually much more convenient[1]. I weigh these costs and benefits when choosing which way to go for a particular use case.

[1] With the significant exception of passwords that will regularly have to be typed out on mobile, since diceware passwords are much more virtual keyboard friendly than random character generated passwords. This is partly because you can typically keep the entire thing in your head, not having to reference your password manager multiple times, and partly because they don't rely on special characters for their entropy, so can be typed out on the primary keyboard without switching to numeral or special character keyboards.

There is no need to store summer heat for the entire winter, which would necessitate a far larger capacity system.

One would only need to store solar thermal energy that is available on any sunny or partly sunny day for night time and cloudy days.

Where I live about half of all days produce abundant solar thermal energy even in the depth of winter. Calculating in night time, you end up with about 12.5% of total winter time having abundant free thermal energy.

So one would need to build a system of solar thermal collectors about 8 times the size one would need to heat a house on a sunny winter day, and that is not a very big system.

Space wise I think it would work for single family residential homes on .25 acre lots if the house was designed for it from the start.
I actually consider that a fair challenge - it's just not proof.

TL;DR; the longtail (rarely accessed images) becomes really expensive. So to save storage (and thus cost), both highly compress and dynamically generate rarely accessed images.

There are many ways an (authenticated) encryption algorithm can fail, including

1. attacker learns the key, and can encrypt and decrypt all messages

2. attacker can encrypt any message

3. attacker can decrypt any message

4. attacker can create a valid random encrypted message, but doesn't know what it says

5. attacker can decrypt only the messages that were wrongly encrypted

6. attacker can determine whether two encrypted messages are the same, but can't decrypt them

7. attacker can determine whether the two wrongly encrypted messages were the same, but can't decrypt them

Some of these situations are clearly less bad than others; I'm pretty sure at least #5 can be guaranteed.

acjohnson55, your observation is spot on. There is one suggestion that I have for 'rational' people: Band together, discriminate against the 'irrational' people in your lives and help out each other.

Judge us on the tech, not on me. To be honest, if you cannot already understand what we have put out to the public well enough to know that you want to work on it, then you are probably still too junior to be really useful as we are now. We can't afford the cost of ramping people up if they are not already there.

As we grow there will be more place for beginners, but not yet. Mind, that's beginners as in concept understanding, not beginners as in age or degrees. I'm a dropout, and this year we added an intern in Tunisia who's still finishing his exams. We let people self-select, we don't try to persuade them. And we don't pay them, so only the convinced join.

In a way, at the top of engineering things work much more like they do in the arts: you are judged by your portfolio, not by your background or education.
No, I think you've misunderstood.

What they're saying is that you can take a JPEG compressed image, decompress to raw pixels, and then recompress with JPEG more efficiently (if you're careful, no specifics on how this is done), and you save space.

That's why they mention that they're doing it very carefully, because you've got to make sure that when you decompress the new optimized image that it pixel for pixel matches the original decompressed image.
I did some startup (and pseudo-startup) work in college, when I wasn't getting any stock.

From personal experience, it's still motivational to wonder whether your next paycheck is coming out. Not always pleasant, but it was a great incentive to push back against busywork and time-wasting management even if the reception was bad.

Wikipedia says 44.51 kJ/mol, so that should be 309 Wh/kg, for dry NaOH dissolved in water. The amount of energy needed to heat 1 kg of water with 1 K is 1.16 Wh. So the heat released from dissolving 1 kg of NaOH in water will heat 10 liters of water with about 26.64 K.

With the heat released from 20 kg of NaOH dissolved in water you could heat 100 liters of water with 53,3 K, enough to take a hot bath.

> But to make progress, we need 40 hour weeks.

Productivity is 5x what it was in 1929. So yeah, most of us wouldn't willingly revert to 1929 standards of living. But realistically, I think a lot of people would take a 20% cut and shave 1-2 hours off their workday.

The counterpoint I find most compelling is that "more hours" lowers personal productivity, but raises organizational productivity. If you have a blocking issue that only one person can resolve, the whole organization does better if they're around full time. That's a serious bar to giving out things like time off in lieu of raises.
