home appliances should be aware of the home's solar panels somehow.

you could fill a washing machine and have it wait a few days and turn on if the solar panels are at full usage.

other things could operate at peak hours (dishwasher)

you could also pump water into a silo when it's bright outside.

I always do both and it feels extremely weird to see people not actually do it.
In between bathroom breaks at work I've touched my desk, keyboard, smartphone screen, perhaps adjusted my shoes, perhaps shook someones hand. By that time, hands already feel filthy enough to not want to touch myself anywhere before washing.

There are, factually, things more detrimental to a person's psyche.

There's also a good chunk of people actively seeking that because of their personal characteristics (psyche?).
I'm not entirely understanding your point. You state that Microsoft's fear has been that their next major competitor will be an independent/hobbyist, yet then go on to describe how they've made life great for these guys while simultaneously putting the squeeze on more established studios. And I generally agree with this, though I don't think it's particularly nefarious - it's the established studios that can afford to drop 4 figures a seat a year on licenses - by trying to charge that to independents, they mostly just push people potential customers away from their toolchain.

A really great example of this is the fact that they now give away Visual Studio Professional (rebranded to 'community') for free and even allow unrestricted commercial development/usage for independent studios. I don't recall their definition of independent precisely, but it's something like <= 4 developers, with gross revenue < $1 million/year - the exact definition is similarly fair.
The article kind of mentions who would be the worst English language poet according to them. I forgot the name.

I completely agree with this. Probably due to being much earlier in my career, I haven't yet learnt how to separate my personal life from my work life well. I use the office and my commute to form a boundary, which works very well so I have a good work life balance, but as soon as I work from home I either get much less done, or I get much more done and have no free time. I hope to improve at this, in 10 years time (when I hope to own a house/have a family/etc) I'd hope that I'm working from home 1-2 days a week _every week_, but I'm not there yet.
1.5 million troops (not even counting civilians) died at the siege of Leningrad. One million at the battle of Stalingrad.

To most people, "Kursk" is the name of a submarine but it is also the biggest tanks battle of the history of mankind, and the point where USSR made the tide turn in favor of the allies. This battle alone saw more death than the campaign of Normandy.

It is funny how these things work. We tend to put an heroic filter on the Allies' operation on the D-Day and trivialize the French defense in 1940 as a buffoonery despite both having a similar death toll. And we ignore the big battles that bled to death the USSR and that actually won the war.

One can't understand stalinism and the Russian brand of nationalism without knowing that history.
Hasn't there been an article like 12 months ago that described how it's already moving into a downswing?

Random noise would just mean that you have to take multiple measurements and average them. Depending on the system in question, "multiple" may or may not be impractically many.
In my own observation the use of outsourcing to India (in terms of market share) has been declining for years. Either being replaced by work done here in Copenhagen or in countries nearer by - Poland in particular.

As a practioner; I cannot say that I miss working with projects outsourced to India. I really hope that you guys learn a less bureaucratic and hierarical way of working and you as a country become more focused on internal demand.

> So you think the key for understanding constructive logic is to understand some peculiar syntax.

It's not only a syntax, it's a functional programming language which turns out to be a computational model for logic.
Understood, nothing to disagree with here.
> 1. Is there a protocol specification for source control (like OStatus or ActivityPub but for communicating with a source control server)?

Yes - each SCM has at least one protocol. Here's the spec for subversion, https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/subversion/trunk/subversion... , here's the spec for Git: https://github.com/git/git/blob/9bfa0f9be3e718f701200a242ea0...

> 2. If not, can we create one with a name like Open Version Control (OVC for short)?

Unlikely. Each SCM operates in their own way that might be completely at odds with how another SCM works. Also the union of people that have the ability to do it and the incentive to do it is pretty much zero.

>3. Can we then agree on what constitutes the necessary data for a commit, push, user info, etc

Unlikely. See 2.

It really doesn't take much at all to see that the Austrian School is right and others are wrong.

For starters, if you understand that value is subjective, you'll also understand that there's no way to put a number on how much you want something, or precisely how much you'd be willing to pay for it, etc.

You'll also understand that you can't base calculations on something you can't actually quantify, and have no way of accurately measuring..

So yeah, you'll understand that most of what you've been taught is just garbage-in-garbage-out.

As for monetary policy, it's essentially just "a plan for forcefully intervening in an economy", and it doesn't actually happen for the greater good - it's done to benefit the government and their buddies.

As a prime example, who gets access to newly printed thin-air-money at zero interest? Do you want him to buy real assets with "free money", and have you suffer the consequences (of the resulting decrease in your currency's purchasing power)?
> Google hardened the KVM and what is used. So native instruction execution but sandboxed.

That makes no sense. KVM is used for virtualization, e.g. I use it to run windows VMs. So not native and not a sandboxed container but a VM? Or is the KVM part wrong and it actually uses containers like crouton?
Tech is doing fine, but India definitely dosen't have the homegrown talent to cater to the new wave of startups.

The fault is the Indian education system, which silences creativity, encourages rote learning and focuses too much on numbers on report cards.

Its really sad and alarming here. (I am from India). There are whole generations of students, who, from their early schooling, right up to a Bachelor's degree in Engineering, are taught to memorize and spit out answers.

There are very few schools that actually teach creativity, problem solving skills, etc.

A few years back, when complaints were made against rote learning, schools have begun to give 'home projects' to kids, ostensibly to improve their creative skills. However, these projects devolved into internet searches, copy-pasting online articles and pictures and calling it a day.

Unless there is a revolution in the education system in India, it would be very difficult to have a large pool of talented problem solvers and creative thinkers.

Those Indians who are famous or are talented, are that way because they fought against the system or ignored it completely or have had good mentors.
"Monitor electricity 3600 times a second" in the video seem wrong, as AC is usually 50 to 60 HZ that would be measuring the consumption 60 to 72 times per period which does not really make sens. It's likely 3600/hour or 1/seconds. Immediately make me doubt the quality of the research.

Edit: DC -> AC. was tired.
Sadly I doubt it.

> surely a large free market, unhemmed by a giant firewall, would be a great incentive for innovation and enterprise?

A critical component of free markets is "contract enforcements". India has poor law enforcement.
It's more like abuse of Visa.

These Indians cannot compete or shop around for a better salary which make native programmer's salary cheaper.

If you don't like the cheaper salary then go back home and reapply for visa that's the choice they have and it's a disincentive to go through the whole process.

> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/H-1B_visa
> If a foreign worker in H-1B status quits or is dismissed from the sponsoring employer, the worker must either apply for and be granted a change of status, find another employer (subject to application for adjustment of status and/or change of visa), or leave the United States. Effective January 17, 2017, the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services modified the rules to allow a grace period of up to 60 days but in practice as long as a green card application is pending they are allowed to stay.

That's not really a new competition. It's just a cheat/loop hole that companies use to pay nonnative IT people dirt.

I think a better solution is let non native workers shop around for better salary (or make it easier) and add a foreign tax on top of their salary.

The foreign tax is similar to out of state tuition when you attend university out of state, the people who are native who have paid taxes for the infrastructure vs people that aren't native that are using infrastructure and may leave the state/country with no loyalty but for better opportunities should pay a tax. The tax is also to incentivize visa holder to become citizen in the future.

I also like a hiring cap for non native people base on if there are actual skill lacking in current work force. The cap is to be revise every few years base on market.
>home appliances should be aware

You mean IoT installed into wallplugs and whitegoods appliances, pool pumps, heaters, washers, heat pumps/air conditioners, hot water systems, etc.

Yeah. If there was only an IoT standard that worked to allow for usage to be monitored and devices to be switched on/off in a standard way ... sure.

There are "appliances" like HomeAssistant.io and OpenHAB and Domoticz out there to micro-manage these peripheral home devices and monitor consumption/excess/PV generation, and rulesets that can trigger responses and excess/egress of energy,

but it's too complex for the Inverter/Solar managers to take care of usually.

Docker and cgroups/namespaces really only isolates you from mixed shared libraries situations, by essentially pinning your lib in the Docker image. That is, by ignoring the problem of stale/insecure shared libs, which is the entire point of using shared libs in the first place.

Docker doesn't isolate you from resource exhaustion (out of memory or files, infinite loops), from incompatibilities of the host kernel and Docker version bumps (so your shiny image isn't guaranteed to work on newer kernels and Docker versions), and makes it impossible to use host user identities and permissions. Thus projects tend to avoid plain regular file access, using databases and block devices and what not as workarounds.

IMHO Docker is an anti-pattern to "solve" an incidental problem of your own making.
I studied in India 2012 for a short time. I met incredible smart and hardworking people. However, one thing that I found quite unnerving was that there is a tendency to always anwser yes if asked if one knows how to do something, even if thats not true. Sometimes a plain "I don't know" can be very helpful in achieving a goal.

I can't count how many times I asked a rickshaw driver if he knew a certain place and he answered yes, and we just drove around for some time until I found out he has no idea. From what I heard that sometimes remains a problem, also in IT service.

That said, we all have our cultural qirks, and in most cases knowing them solves half the problem.
Yep. There are some languages that start out trying to solve fundamental productivity issues in previous languages - some more than others.

I think we had a generation of ecosystems with Node, Ruby, Python, that tried to do solve the unapproachable systems around the Java/etc ecosystems and make them more open.

They succeeded, but the next generation seems to have been about solving the plethora of tools that came with those languages. Rust, Go, etc, having first-party tools are trying to improve upon that, and yes I think Rust is by far the best implementation I've seen.

I'm interested to see what the next generation is.
The Best 25 Datasets for Natural Language Processing
You have the horizontal and vertical space but you don't travel between random points, say most of the traffic will head to the same N destination points so you have many vehicles converging at the same landing zone, or many leaving that zone.

The problem with drones sensing each other is that the data is not enough, the AI would need to predict where all the other drones are heading , otherwise we have the same cases like with Tesla and Uber where the AI will ignore many objects including stopped trucks and big concrete walls.

So a solution could be to force the drones to broadcast the location and velocity vector and other information , that is also a complex topic, bad actors, bugged drones, privacy issues, so many things can go wrong.

Also about the vertical space, you don't want to fly to high either, you would waste energy so many vehicles would fly as low as possible so you would have a big number of vehicles at a similar altitude.
I found it's not necessarily short-term thinking. It's selfish thinking, reason being that most team/corp/market wide problems usually have to resolved by everybody, while the seemingly success based gains are consumed by a few.

A very relevant YouTube video from Dave at EEVBlog, where he goes through the numbers for his five year old solar installation, to see whether it has paid for itself. He also does hypothetical modelling of adding a battery, which proves to not be financially compelling at all.

*AC is 50 to 60Hz (DC does not alternate). Also I can see how it's possible that electrical fluctuations could happen at a higher rate than the utility frequency. 3600 Hz does seem like a lot though.
>liquified air energy storage. I wonder if this may be helpful.

Let me answer this: No, it would not be helpful, because on pretty much all metrics (capital and operating costs, efficiency, flexibility, size etc) this technology is way worse than battery storage.

Unfortunately - today - a lot of money which could be sensibly used deploying cost effective technology such as solar and wind power (and to a lesser extent battery storage) is wasted pursuing fundamentally flawed concepts (such as compressed air energy storage, and now this liquified air), which have no chance of being competitive .

There is a company in Australia that have improved flow batteries technology to the point where it can be miniaturised down to the size of a fridge freezer (previously they were the size of shipping containers) ten shipping containers full of them are able to store 3.2 megawatt-hours of energy and discharge a megawatt of power for over three to four hours which is roughly enough to keep 500-600 average homes going for the afternoon during the end of day consumption peak.

They are perfectly suited to be paired with solar/wind/etc where they can store up the days usage and discharge at a regular rate throughout the evening peak when generation is reduced. And as for reliability, unlike lithium-ion, flow batteries can last for 20+ years with unlimited cycles.
> silences creativity, encourages rote learning and focuses too much on numbers on report cards

You can absolutely say that about the Chinese education system as well, and they seem to be doing OK.

I agree it's a shame that creativity is undervalued, if not outright suppressed, by the education system, but at the same time I don't think entrepreneurial spirit arises from formal education in the first place.
That would be reassuring provided existing IT workers can be re-skilled to handle AI/ML stuff and that's a very long shot.

AI/ML stuff is extremely hard and requires a lot of creative and problem solving skills. You can't just split an AI/ML system into neatly delegate-able steps that can be outsourced.

That's what I remember hearing when Dart was just getting off the ground. So what happened? Script tags can specify text/javascript or text/dart. Did the the Chrome team just veto any integration? Did a prototype into chromium ever even exist? Google put out experimental quic stuff out before so why not a new interpreter?

I'm convinced if it was out there we'd have seen some use and some hype! I'm a little disappointed to hear Dart pivoted away. Such high hopes!

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_type_theory

Not that much surprised. History of type theory is a history of trying to define precisely computation. That is, try to allow recursion but enforce that all programs terminate.

The solution to this problem these days is to use a purely functional programming language with dependent types (e.g. Homotopy Type Theory, Lean).

Haskell, for example, being a practical functional programming language, is logically inconsistent. Using the fix function:

fix :: (a -> a) -> a
fix f = let x = f x in x

one can produce proof of everything

Prelude Data.Function> :t fix id
fix id :: a

that is just an infinite loop.

In a logically consistent functional language such as Lean https://leanprover.github.io, this definition is not allowed.

AWS Lambda seems much simpler.

Bundle your code in a zip file. Describe it in a yaml template with the name, runtime, zip filename, memory needed, entry point in your code, and external HTTP path. Deploy it with "aws cloudformation package" and "aws cloudformation deploy".

The platform will give you load balancing, scaling, logging, metrics, internal and external endpoints, DNS, and CDN.

The PaaS platforms you mentioned are basically the same (you provide code + a bit of config and they do the rest), except priced by the hour.

Basically they discovered Docker! Given the amount of hype it had for the best 2-3 years I am surprise, Now it is all Kubernetes. ( Or was that a joke I am not getting )

They had new hardware, and I am surprised it was sponsored by Microsoft. They are also using Azure for Cloud. And the hardware is recent and much better represent the common usage. Before it was a Quad Socket CPU platform that I doubt many are using.

I know a lot of these does not represent real world usage. But even if we pick, Full Stack Framework, ORM usage, Realistic implementation, ignoring the erroneous results at the bottom, we still have a gap of 50x difference in Fortune, which is the only results I look at.
