I find the concept of "elevated" public discourse to be very questionable. Elevated to what? Your standards? Your opinions?

That tweet gave 32k people a chance to voice their opinion on the topic. You may not want to hear it but I bet they appreciated the platform that gave them a voice.

I'm really glad we live in a society that gives people more tools than a voting booth to express themselves.

Reddit is insta-community. Here's how I use Reddit: I pick up a new hobby, say knitting. I go to reddit.com/r/knitting and suddenly I have a bunch of experts there who I can ask questions, exchange ideas with, or brag to about my accomplishments. There is an instant community already existing on Reddit for pretty much every activity I can think of.

Where this gets dicey is politics. If you are suddenly a black libretarian baptist who believes in evolution, but not gravity, there's probably a /r/blbwbiebng already waiting for you. And if any of those gravity believing scum show up, the mods will ban them.

My ex used to study these little fish from Alaska who evolved in basically tiny separated ponds as the water level dropped and they all got separated. This is what's happening with Reddit. Silos where evolution happens completely independently of anything in the outside world.

Raised as a rural Oregonian with great grandparents from Arkansas here, north = up and south = down is pretty solid in my vernacular, though sometimes elevation will override latitude and we'll go "up" to somewhere slightly south. We mostly go "over" to places without a large elevation or latitude change, but there is some use of "out" but never to cardinal directions, only to imply change in population density or degree of settlement. If you're in town, you might be "headed out" to a campground, just as you might "head in" to town afterward, if you're in the city you'd head "out" to a smaller town.

In Germany, with labor costs and protections at least as high as the US, per-watt installation costs for residential solar are a small fraction of what they are in the US:

https://www.technologyreview.com/s/509196/why-solar-installa...

That report is from 2012, but soft (non-hardware) costs have remained stubbornly high in the US. Even with the recent solar tariffs, all-in costs for a kWh of residential solar in the US would be significantly lower than in Germany, if the US could get soft costs down to German levels. The solar resources of most of the continental US are that much better than Germany.

Australia too has much lower installed costs than the US. A former residential solar company CEO blames American red tape:

The Secret Code to a Changing New York: Its Dogs
all you need is a certificate on the device and an app in the app store. or an installer they can download to their computer. you don’t need a full on traditional CA. you just need to verify (one) certificates.

sign the certificate in the manufacturing plant and put it in the coffee maker l. give the CA cert out in the app or the installer. now you can verify if the coffee maker talking to you over HTTPS is legit and probably get it’s serial number off the cert too. your CA keys never see the public. you could go even more secure and use that as a bootstrap to a per customer CA and generate a new cert on install, but this is a coffee maker right?
Yes, this is exactly correct.
Ask HN: Should beginner programmers use code formatters from day one?
I taught JavaScript awhile back and I regret not using prettier from day one. I think using a formatter lets new learners focus on the tricker parts of the language rather than the style thereof.
Obsessing over minutiae won't help you to see the bigger picture.

Is tapping into your flow state a similar thing to "being in the zone"?

In which case, it's hard to tell, since it is quite subconscious.

I'd be tempted to say that being in the zone (if that's what you mean, let me know if not) happens to people who allow themselves to be less self-conscious, to be less disturbed by their own ego. In which case it may help them create better or more focused work.

Although I realize I will probably give this a bit more thoughts, since that's interesting :)

From that same paragraph...

"One industry official said that each EV1 cost the company about US$80,000, including research, development and other associated costs;[67] other estimates placed the vehicle's actual cost as high as $100,000.[2] Bob Lutz, GM Vice Chairman responsible for the Chevrolet Volt, in November 2011 stated the EV1 cost $250,000 each and leased for just $300 per month.[68] GM stated the cost of the EV1 program at slightly less than $500 million before marketing and sales costs, and over $1 billion in total, although a portion of this cost was defrayed by the Clinton Administration's $1.25 billion Partnership for a New Generation of Vehicles (PNGV) program.[69][70][71] In addition, all manufacturers seeking to produce electric cars for market consumption also benefited from matching government funds committed to the United States Advanced Battery Consortium."

> The social health issue is one for all companies that compete in the social media space to figure out.

Our traditional media organizations haven't figured this out in millennia. I'm not that hopeful. It's a fundamental conflict of interest between selling ads and creating informed citizens.

Some will tell you that's why they have the "church and state". I don't know. I'm not sure it's an effective policy and with native advertising the point is moot because they've given up on even the pretense.
Luckily, the parent does not suggest that.
Yes. I think all professional programmers should be using as many tools as they can from day 1. Tools like linters, filewatchers mapped to tests, IDEs (or well equipped editors). All of these tools help drive code quality and productivity and thusly should be seen as much a part of their career as knowing the nuances of their choice language, design patterns or details about any other part of their stack.
Good perspective! Doomsday levels in the works.

> The way in which "places that don't matter" have taken their political revenge fits this pattern, too. They have put a premium on drawing attention to themselves even if it costs them.

Fascinating. That analysis sounds very much like the assessment of hostage-taker motivations that FBI hostage negotiators have built their more modern negotiation techniques around (see for example the book “Never Split the Difference”). Riffing on that thought, it feels like Trump’s verbal handling of them aligns much more closely with the FBI negotiators’ recommended techniques than Hilary’s verbal handling of them (hers is a better fit to the FBI’s older more intellectually focused less emotionally focused strategy that was abandoned in the wake of the Waco disaster).

> Was it inevitable that the Equifax situation became partisan?

I'm not so sure it's the Equifax situation here, but rather the CFPB that's the target of partisan lashings. The CFPB has been criticized by both the left and right at various times for overspending, lack of oversight, lack of results, and especially it's fundamental structure - in fact it was even ruled unconstitutional by a DC circuit court. The ruling has since been upheld in an en-banc hearing.

Some of the comments from the judge in the initial ruling are rather surprising:

"The Director enjoys significantly more unilateral power than any single member of any other independent agency. By “unilateral power,” we mean power that is not checked by the President or by other colleagues. Indeed, other than the President, the Director of the CFPB is the single most powerful official in the entire United States Government, at least when measured in terms of unilateral power."

Same applies to malloc()/new, no one on their right mind would be allocating during the hot path of rendering loop.

With GC languages, one just needs to learn about value and reference types, and which language features might implicitly allocate. Which can be helped via static analysis.

Regarding .NET specifically, there are quite a few ways of doing manual memory management, although not as fine grained as C++, which many devs seem to be completely unaware of.

In both scenarios, using a profiler is a must have for anyone caring about performance.

And lets be real, unless one is competing with AAA level games, there is a big spectrum of game styles that don't need the ultimate hardware performance, just good enough for an enjoyable game experience.

And it is a single anecdote, so, no, it'd be indeed very strange to base the results of a "clinical trial" on it alone. It does however mean that in at least one case the drug worked and it worked very well. As I said above "YMMV".

I added https to my static site last year and it has been a huge waste of time.

ubuntu + nginx worked fine for years without much maintenance, but I've spent so much time reconfiguring things when something breaks (and it is really clear when something a renewal fails... thanks HSTS).

Things that used to be simple, like putting setting up a subdomain (need to get a new cert and reconfigure the cron job now) or pointing at a websocket (can't point directly at node since that's not secure, needs to pass through nginx now) consistently take hours to do now.

I mostly do data analysis and front end work; mucking around in nginx config files is something I would have been happy never experiencing. It sucks that it's harder to host your own website now.

It's actually quite funny to see this from the same group that made it clear that 'pay to play' accelerators are a bad thing.

When it comes to start-ups I've seen enough that I thought would never make it succeed and enough sure bets fail that I'm willing to just wait by the sidelines to let the hand of time sort it all out. That seems to be a better mechanism than to decide up front what is ridiculous and what is not.

It is the cowards way out but I've come to the conclusion that my 'hot or not' meter is seriously broken in this respect.

Yep, exactly! I could see people who try to control things too much having a hard time getting into that state/zone and replacing it with a long cycle of fussing, but that's just how I imagine it might work. Thanks for the reply :^)
I can assure you that, with practice, Haskell can be a very practical language. Having IO in the types lets one reason about where the effects are happening, which is especially important when trying to solve real world problems with functional techniques (i.e. transforming unreliable streams of data).
Was talking with a Japanese friend the other day and had a great conversation trying to nail down the meanings of over by, out near, up there, down by, etc, using local landmarks.

The Japanese equivalents are ここ、そこ、あこ, meaning respectively "here", "there (nearer)", and "there (further)". There's also これ、それ、あれ, meaning "this", "that (nearer)", and "that (further)". These distances can be both spatial, temporal, and metaphorical. The distinction between them seems relative in scale - if you ask for something to be passed to you at the dinner table, the things furthest from you are あれ and the things closest are これ (the latter is close enough you could reach it yourself). The neighboring town is そこ and the next town over is あこ.

I think it is reassuring when I see code where programmers comment that they aren't doing something the best way. Even when they say it is a "hack" or because something else is moronic. It shows to me that the engineers know that not everything in a complex system is beautiful. It is when an engineer is convinced that every line of a very complex system is completely elegant that I worry dragons are hiding.

You are entirely right that almost any change you make on an individual level will not stack up enough to transform the world to carbon neutral or carbon negative. Actions must be collective.

Help your neighborhood, city, state, build and implement a climate resiliency plan. Support and foster societal practices that are less carbon intensive (more bike stands and less parking spots; support public transporation;). Act within your network to promote more sustainable behavior. Does your work have a carpool system? Does your work __or the business you own__ provide incentives to their employees to ride bikes? Does your work recycle? Do you work in an energy efficient building? Is your house/apartment energy efficient? The "Green" trend should never stop. Optimization and efficiency are key.

Monetarily, divest your wealth from high carbon enterprises. Spread this suggestion and work with your employer to provide investment funds that are low carbon. Don't work in an carbon-heavy field. Work to actively solve the problem. Don't buy that Tesla. Don't own a car if it isn't a necessity. Tell other people about your wonderful car free life. Save money on insurance, gas, oil, tires, brakes....

You don't have to go to a completely plant-based diet. Host a party once a month and only serve vegetarian. That converts N hypothetical meat-containing meals into plant-based meals. Maybe someone likes your tofu dish and starts making it every other week for themselves.

A top-down carbon tax is a very logical economic mover, but it is only one tool in the tool belt. Recarbonization of the biosphere (plants, forest) is a necessity to have any chance of going carbon neutral or negative. Also climate change will not be stopping. We __are__ going to be in a different world and people will be in different places than today. The actions taken now will still mean everything to 10+ billion people.
Thanks, I'll take a look at it tonight.
