That's a great Torvalds emails which I haven't seen before! Here's the "point" though:

> I happen to believe that not having a kernel debugger forces people to think about their problem on a different level than with a debugger. I think that without a debugger, you don't get into that mindset where you know how it behaves, and then you fix it from there. Without a debugger, you tend to think about problems another way. You want to understand things on a different _level_.

I think that's really pretty reasonable. Surely you've seen a programmer who ran into a bug and submitted a pull request saying "I fixed it" but it's clearly just a messy work-around which misunderstands the problem and leaves a bunch of analogous problem cases unfixed.

I prefer printf-and-inspection debugging myself, I only reach for gdb once a week or so. I'm pretty diligent and my results are quite solid. It's fine that we have different styles, and because of well-designed interfaces, like process boundaries, we can co-exist in peace.

Linus is really counter-cultural in today's hip software world, where everyone says everything should be easier and easier. We just can't ever make threads or async or crypto easy enough. Meanwhile the popular applications and frameworks in use seem to get bigger and slower and buggier. Correlation, not causation, but still an annoying trend.
There are transmissions other than automatic. And I agree, they’re better if you know what you’re doing.

But modern high-end automatics are in fact smoother than most humans. Racecar drivers might be smoother still but even they use flappypadle automatic sequential gearboxes at the very top end of racing because even the best trained humans are just too slow.

Curiously, racing electric cars use gearboxes too.
The 'unnatural' breaks you get from Pomodoro do have some advantages, though. If you use 'natural' breaks -- when you have finished a task, or got stuck -- you are breaking at precisely the point where it will be hardest to resume work.

When your break is on a fixed schedule, you're more likely to have something left half-finished. That makes it much easier to jump back in 5 minutes later.

Personally I gain more from the easy resumability than I lose by not having the break-for-abstract-thinking which you describe. Doubtless this varies massively between from person to person.

Maybe not most but there certainly is an underclass that would. Even if the number is 5%-10%, it's too high.
OP meant "backlash against crypto in general" as in backlash against cryptography in general. OP was using "crypto" as short for cryptography.

I remember telling one of my relatives that I was looking into schooling for cryptography, and they had it confused for cartography.

Crypto might end up being colloquially short for cryptocurrency in mainstream circles.
Not from the Earth, no (not easily, anyway). Bull's plan involved using a gun to replace the heavy first stage of a multi-stage rocket.

The Iraqis didn't have the rocket technology (of course, that's why they hired Bull!), which would probably have looked like the US "Sprint" missile, and at the very raw edge of what was feasible at the time.

Interestingly, though, you can get from the Moon back to the Earth using only a gun-type launcher, IIRC. Some lunar mining concepts use this as a way for mined minerals to get back home without uneconomical use of rocket fuel -- typical schemes I've seen tossed around use various electromagnetic launchers with solar panels or nuclear reactors providing the juice. I've never run the numbers myself -- maybe some Kerbal Space Program junkie can figure it out though?

Probably the best use case for gun-type launchers is for orbital transfers of unmanned cargo. There were some neat ideas tossed around in the 80s of having a big satellite or space station with a nuclear reactor serve as a launch platform for small cargo pods, which would lack their own engines. As long as you balanced the number of "up" and "down" pods, you could keep the launch platform in an approximately stable orbit, supposedly. Very hard to do without a big honking nuclear reactor though.
One of those paradoxical situations when something _really_ needs to be regulated but can't be regulated. E.g. how do you know what data set is the result of an algorithm (a dubious consolidation step?), or how do you regulate algorithmic learning when we don't fully understand how learning works?
As a web dev, I've often at least considered refreshing the page in an SPA due to some bug with client-side state—I guess that's the modern-day equivalent.

I concur, the push for mass adoption when the tech behind the electric cars are in such an infant stage makes me nervous. On top of that it won't be any better for the environment in countries which still have majorly coal-based power plants.

I think my issue is that everything about this plugin — from the marketing tie-in, to the rollout, to the effects of the plugin itself once activated — all indicate a complete breakdown of core values.

Creating a plugin that modifies content on your screen and injects HTTP headers is egregious enough (just look at the response Comcast got for doing it), but doing it for a TV show tie-in? How did that idea even make it through one round of approvals, much less land on every Firefox user’s machine?

Users trust web browsers to deliver the exact content that was requested — that’s why we have gpg signatures, hashsums, and HTTPS. It’s arguably a core tenet of the web. IMO the reaction of the tech community can only be expected in response to such a deep violation of trust.

Lodash is a good example of this. The whole package is pretty big, and includes a functional programming variant (which I suppose is mostly wrappers around the other stuff, but it still adds weight).

So in practice you'll pretty much never be using the full package on account of 1) going for either require('lodash') or require('lodash/fp'), but not both, and 2) requiring specific functions through require('lodash/each') or whatnot.

The only way to get an accurate picture is to analyse the bundled package, or I suppose as part of the pipeline of whatever packaging solution you use.

This is probably based on the idea of Cobalt bombs (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cobalt_bomb) intended to make areas uninhabitable due to radiation. But in that case the Cobalt 59 is placed directly around the nuclear bomb, and spread across the area by the explosion.

It doesn't seem plausible to me that this would be a real danger. If I'm close enough to a nuclear explosion that can affect the Cobalt-59 in my car, I'm probably vaporized anyway.

Can I ask... Why? Shouldn't a "minimum" wage provide a "minimal" lifestyle rather than a modest lifestyle? And why should one be able to support a family on a single minimum wage?

"Even members of federal parliament only meet four times a year, and go back to their normal jobs in-between"

Ok, so then it's worse but in the opposite direction.

"According to the consulting firm PwC, the global automotive industry generates about $400 billion a year in profits; about 41 percent of that — or about $164 billion — comes from new vehicle sales."

This is awesome. some new ideas for my drone.
That is indeed how you do things in Kerbal Space Program, but back on Earth, it would require at least a few procedural - if not technological - breakthroughs to pull it off.

Which is to say - I'm all for it! The sooner we make those breakthroughs, the better.
I doubt it's revenue. A little Googling leads to estimates of the total global number of new cars sold annually being between 75 million and 90 million. Divide 400 billion by the more conservative estimate and it still gives you a bit over $5k per vehicle, which seems way too low to be an average sales price. So revenue has to be quite a bit higher.

Also, Google lists the size of the US auto loan industry (i.e. money owed by buyers) as $1.1 trillion. Since auto loans average around 5 years, that would mean that the US alone spends at least $200 billion per year on automobiles (more probably, since that wouldn't count people who buy their cars outright or pay their loans off early), and we're nowhere near half the world market. IIRC, our auto market is only slightly larger than Europe's.

Absolutely not.

It's usually legal to lie, break promises, exaggerate, and other things that I would consider unethical. I also submit that the should remain legal and unethical. Lying to my parents about some detail of my personal life I don't wish to share is unethical, but shouldn't be illegal.

I've found that writing a blog post is one of the best ways to learn something deeply. So I write stuff, not for marketing but own my personal development. Of course marketing is nice sub result, but I never focus too much on title like the OP.

My process looks like folowing

- Choose the subject (usually a very small topic or algorithm)

- Study it deeply for at least a weak, sometime months.

- Start writing the post, learning is still happening.

- Finish the post. At that point I usually have a very good understanding of the topic.

Never think that you can't write about a subject because you are not an expert. You may not be an expert but there are more people who know less than you and they will find the post worthwhile.

I wouldn't even consider conventional chemical rockets for such a rendez-vous. There already are plenty of other options available: ion thrusters, or the new plasma thruster NASA is currently working on, which is very promising, or a laser sail... even that dubious emDrive if it proves working. The tricky part is really what to do on arrival if we don't want to just pass by it at an enormous speed.

It is a problem for now because at 0.1ppm we are still years away from getting enough lithium out of the seawater/ocean.

Most lithium is 'mined' from salt (water) lakes by evaporation. Which is for now much easier and cheaper.
How difficult is it to extract that Lithium? There are huge quantities of Gold and Uranium in sea water too, but it's too expensive to filter them out.

Google heavy promotes articles that use their Google Analytics and have high time-on-page scores. Everything Google does with search ranking is gameable but built to focus on high quality content. The best thing about having a couple high ranking pages is that it becomes much easier to make others. Your trust score is already high so there's a good chance other articles about postgres will also reach first page, even if they're not about specialized topics. This is what the SEOtards fail to understand
We'll find a way though, after some pain. Maybe we'll just become less mobile, and be okay with that. Denser housing and more distributed community hubs seem the obvious solution.

The harder question is how would you get from here to a world without cars in the first place. There are some pretty massive political and social hurdles to overcome. I don't think this will happen until we basically run out of fuel, unfortunately.
It will be much better for the air quality in cities though.
These articles keep omitting a pretty big barrier to adoption: street parking. (Maybe it's a function of US being suburb-centric? But at least the New York Times ought to know better.)

One of 2 things needs to happen, either charging technology improves to the point where you can charge at a gas station in a span of time comparable to refueling a conventional car, or all street parking spots need to be fitted with charging ports for overnight charging.

Neither thing looks likely to happen soon.

Yep. ZF 8 speed automatic, Mercedes new 9 speed dual clutch, are probably the smoothest transmissions available on the market. I've got years of experience of driving manual cars and I can't even pretend that I would be able to change gears as smoothly as those boxes. And I drive a Mercedes-AMG with a 7-speed dual clutch and under hard acceleration that box changes gears within 100ms(actual number supplied by AMG) - there's no way a human could change gears that quickly.
> It may be going fast, but partly that's because it sped up a lot through the inner solar system, as it climbs out of the Sun's gravity well it will slow down a great deal.

It doesn't help us much, since we'll be going against gravity too. ∆v required to reach the object won't change significantly over time, and with present technology, it's the strongest factor which determines what we can or can't do in reasonable time right now.
What size is the big-ish data that you're talking about? iTunes slows down noticeably over 30k songs.

My Facebook friends database is small by comparison (under 6000), but if I want to include all their Liked Pages, the database size increases to 223,783.

The nested structure is really important to me. For example, my friend David is in the lists: Taiwan, Christians, Health & Medicine, KGCC Church, KTL Christian student group.

The KGCC and KTL playlists are inside the Taiwan folder.

I can use Smart Playlists to sort by the year when I added friends, but I want to manually manage some playlists as well. For example, if I go on holiday to New Zealand and add a new friend, then they belong in the New Zealand list, not the Taiwan list, even though the date added is during my time living in Taiwan.

Some playlists are not in any country folder e.g. male/female, Limited Profile.

The highly nested nature of the database means Excel isn't suitable, and my brief look at SQL tells me that it would quickly become a mess of tables. There must be some kind of database program that supports nested structure, but I haven't found it yet, and that's why I'm asking here.
>Starting, owning, and/or running a business is working. Only it's working with no guarantee of any reward.

Well, yes, that's why the rewards of starting a business are often completely tax free up until a pretty high level. I don't really have a problem with that, which should have been pretty obvious from my above post.

However, that is completely irrelevant to what I said above.

Sitting on property and collecting rent is clearly not working.

>Again, we can argue about how high the tax rate should be on unearned income vs earned income

I'm of the opinion that unearned income should be taxed at 100% and distributed equally throughout the population whereas earned income should be taxed at 0%. I have yet to meet a person who can cogently argue why handouts (e.g. land rents) shouldn't be distributed equally.

Note that starting a business that grows is clearly earned at least up until a certain point (usually the point where the founder lets the employees run most things).

>Shouldn't the variance of this success be recognized in the tax code as well?

You really seem very keen on having the tax code encourage gambling over working.

I'm not so sure that using the tax code to deliberately discourage working for a living is necessarily the best way to generate a productive economy.

Generalized ESR presumption based on no data and outdated methods.

Albeit I generally agree that smart but manual memory management works better and is more predictable. (range/scope based like in C++ RAII or Rust)
If needed for performance, with memory pools.

There are different kings of automated too. Simple refcounting is sufficient for almost all cases but has to be still manually applied instead of guesswork to prevent performance bugs and leaks.

A specialized memory pool can be written in C++11 in less than 100 lines. (Likewise a thread pool.) Template even.

A smart pointer with or without refcounting is in standard. Compared to the immensity of GC these are easy to use and tune.
