> Some people that are loudly ignorant, especially those that defend their ignorance vigorously, face consequences in professional settings.

Sort of like Galileo did?

Sometimes the societal norms of what is considered "ignorant" are wrong.

If you haven't come across it, I would highly recommend the book Galileo's Middle Finger. It was written by a lefty who started her career as an activist fighting for the humane treatment of intersex people (a marginalized group). But later in her career she discovered lots of people who were accused of being ignorant had actually been unfairly smeared by people whose accusations didn't stand up to scrutiny.

Where in the US are bikes not suitable for 1/2 the year?

Are you thinking areas like Florida and Texas? I can see biking being tough in the hot/humid summer but wouldn't something like an electric scooter (where you're just standing there) be fine?
I've often wondered this. When I was at Google (c. 2011) there was one dev on the Google Finance frontend, and he was pretty good - IIRC he did my ActionScript readability review. Maybe he left and whatever skeleton crew is there now is actively fucking it up?

I'm wondering if Google Finance is also a casualty of Google's campaign to kill Flash. Notice that they got rid of the Flash charting widget, and now there are no charts whatsoever on the home page, and a barebones static chart for individual stocks. Probably some edict came down from on high that you can't use that widget anymore, and there's nobody left working on the project to replace it with anything useful.

I've gone back to Yahoo Finance too.
I wonder how they will enforce that, but that was the answer I was looking for. Thanks.

There are different approaches to naval aviation. On one end is the canadian approach, where the helicopters living on ships are run by entirely airforce crews. On the other is the American/Russian total separation of branches, to the point that navy pilots don't even call themselves pilots (Tom Cruise played a "naval aviator"). In the middle are solutions like the Australians, where all pilots are trained by the air force and are then transfered to naval aviation squadrons for type training.

All these countries have very different military cultures between air force and navy. Navies, people who drive ships, generally have more ridged rank structures. Airforces, groups that fly aircraft, delegate authority according to job descriptions. There are historical and practical reasons for this, mostly linked to minimum team sizes, but safe to say the two cultures can conflict. Keeping some degree of separation reduces conflicts and increases cooperation/safety.
The Ecological Impact of Browser Diversity
Oh yeah! It’s crazy expensive :(

What I’m trying to grapple with is this desire of mine while trying to be aware of my environmental impact.

If there’s no way to have my cake and eat it too, I won’t get one.
Not GP, but I use the add-on because:

1. I want my history saved locally (private browsing deletes history on close).
2. Private browsing requires a new window; I want to have a private tab.
3. All tabs in a private browsing window share the same cookies, so I can still be tracked* within a session; I want a new container with each new tab.

*trivially. I'm well aware that I can still be tracked by fingerprinting, etc, and I have other add-ons to help protect against that.

That's akin to people saying the truth lies in the middle, a fallacy [1].

If you want to reach a conclusion you need to analyse all the situations, and figure out if the criticism is warranted yes or no. In case of the pedophile tweet my opinion is that, yes the criticism is warranted. YMMV..

I have a 6s (upgraded from 4s) and my partner has an SE. The few times I had to use her phone, I found it absurdly uncomfortable to have so little screen real estate, especially when writing or watching video.

She likes it because it fits into her jeans' pockets better than the larger models though.
The limiting factor is politics not technology.

The politics around nuclear waste are preventing the construction of reactor designs which exist today which could take waste that exists today and use it with an output with a much more manageable half-life than the waste we have just sitting around right now.
I don't get why you are jumping into memory safety in multi-threaded environments.

We are discussing GC enabled systems programming languages with support for unsafe operations, not Rust's idea of thread safety.

D is memory safe in the context of @safe code, of course @system code is unsafe.

Active Oberon and Modula-3 also have record types, strings and arrays that can be stack allocated, declared on the global data memory segment or just manually allocated in unsafe packages.

In both cases I can also declare untraced pointers for memory blocks in unsafe packages, that the GC will gladly ignore.
Sweden has 480 days to share (part of that is with lower pay), but 90 days for each parent cannot be transferred so the minimum for dads is effectively 3 months per child. This has had great effect. If you are going to leave work for 3 months you can just as well do 6 or 12 with little difference to the employer.
Some people do not start out with different starting conditions? Some people are not more productive than others?

In what way are varying starting conditions and varying productivity levels (cost structures) not realistic?

If I were to guess, GPs point is that post-hoc redistribution is not fair (or can not be made to be fair?). Do you disagree with this conclusion?
Natural gas is a possible short-term temporary solution. If PV continues to drop in price as it has historically, [1] at a point in the near future it will become economical to crack hydrogen from seawater. If your $/kWh cost is astronomically low it doesn't matter how electricity intensive it is.

The open-source U2F Zero claims ~$3 of parts and a ~$2 PCB [1] ordering a single unit. Making a large volume, that price is only going to come down.

Admittedly you'd have to pay for a plastic case, assembly costs, an envelope and stamps. But if I can get a 16GB flash drive for $8 with free shipping [2] the plastic case, assembly etc can't be that expensive!

Has anyone been able to reapply to Triplebyte after an initial rejection? Somewhat relevant question as this is an article by Triplebyte and Harj who I understand is a YC partner. They say you can reapply after 4 months but I can't find how to do that when I login and emails to their support line go unanswered.
Let me know if anybody here has questions!
Rocke: The Champion of Monero Miners
I like working in c#, so I have a folder in my Dropbox that holds a collection of linqpad files (.linq) about how to do something or other in c#. I also make sure to keep my custom classes/extensions in there as well as a folder within called "mockdata" which has exactly the content you'd expect; three versions of mock data I generated from Mockaroo: one that's a SQLite DB, a csv, and a json file. Also have a lorem.txt folder in there.

I'd love to be able to reorganize that into three subfolders: one for .linq linq queries, one for .cs files instead of .linq files, and another for the mock data. Would be great if I could have all of my c# snippets in .cs files and play with them in VS Code, but I can only run the files in VS Code if I'm working with .NET Core.

I've got a similar but far smaller collection for python snippets and experiments (i.e., playing with an API).
No it's not. It means if you are smart then you are still smart even if you haven't visited a private school and entry exams should be changed in such a way that it actually measures the potential of a candidate instead of their current education history. Also years of inequality don't have an effect on a blind process, because no student today had to live through a century of inequality. People of today have been born into a better world and if we design a blind application process then there is no reason why anyone shouldn't perform well. Quotas are only making it worse, by trying to apply a flaw in order to fix another flaw, which might not even exist anymore.
Especially if you purposefully ignore the middleground (1930-1980) when shareholders existed but labor also held significant power. Lots of people remember this, it was the post-War boom we continually hear people longing for.

I believe the comment was about the idea of enhancing shareholder value which has been the dominant philosophy since about 1980. Notably, wages have stagnated since 1980 [1].

I like to say I don't watch the news. But I'm also almost never surprised when news articles arises in discussion irl. So I guess I still consume a lot of news, it's just that I don't read the NYT much, but I get it from podcasts and HN and similar instead.
Because environmental regulations and permitting, zoning, land acquisition, health and safety regulations, ensuring there is a financial return for the capital in light of the possibility of changing political environment, etc, all make it harder to get a project to the point of breaking ground.

The power plants i work on are 5-10 years for permitting.

Bc hydro has been studying the site C dam for 35 years and finally started construction but the project was nearly cancelled 2 years in due to changing political winds they were ready to abandon the project with 2 billion dollars already spent.

"I'm left with opinion on those days that not much of anything has happened regarding X. But folks still need views!"

In a strange way it validates how well off we are, particularly in the U.S., that outrage needs to be manufactured in this way. Of course the impacts are extremely negative and no journalist ever gets views or prizes for "hey it is important but society won't collapse and we are pretty well off..."

In the end it is a number of factors and cycles between the public and the media:

1) News is now a entertainment with eyes to attract.

2) The public loves death, destruction and crisis. "We like to watch things die from a safe distance; better you than us."

3) Journalists don't get any personal or professional benefit from covering important but "mundane" things. Look at who wins the Pulitzer.

4) On an individual level, people will still find things that are problematic regardless of how well off they are (see "First-World" problems).

5) Knowing of 4) there is a typical over-reaction to actual things of importance; but the reaction is hysterical.

"A kid was kidnapped today, that could happen to mine!"

6) Now that every individual, isolated event can be distributed to millions; every single crisis abstracted to be systematic and endemic (based on 4) and 5) above); it is not that bad things happen, it is that there needs to be a solution and we need to solve for it.

"We've got to do something about this kidnapping crisis, I see it on the news all the time!"

7) Realizing 6) the media can now take political positions and feed into this need to produce more stories that satiate that.

A year later...parents are charged with neglect after letting their kids walk home from school alone.
Turns out it was a relative who kidnapped the kid.
Also turns out there were only 10 of these this year in your community and the chances of this are much smaller than they were years ago, but all of them hit the news, so...

"Drivers tests in the US are a joke." is referring to arbitrary driving tests, and implies any driving test (including the two I failed) is a joke.
Manually allocated memory in some of those languages is only allowed in the context of unsafe packages.

In any case, the point is that you should only do that for the code paths that actually matter, after profiling the application and not everywhere.

Be productive, make use of the GC, naturally taking into the consideration the algorithms + data structures being used.

If that is still not enough to meet the application's SLAs, then manually allocation comes into play.

Aircraft drag is largely from the wings producing lift, which scales with weight (l^3).

The drag from the fuselage does scale as l^2, but most drones have small fuselages since they don't need room for a pilot and (for fighter planes) a big glass canopy, and lifting drag dominates.
There used to be plugins for almost anything. Then most of the powerful ones were kneecapped because of some bad actors. The new system is a joke.

You'd think fossil fuels would have taught us the value of foresight wouldn't you? Even if you were aware of the consequence of excessive CO2 from the advent of the era, it could easily have been dismissed. 'Worrying about a bit of extra CO2 at the beginning of the industrial age is downright idiotic. There's a lot of atmosphere around our planet, and a bit of extra CO2 is good for the plants anyhow!'

There's a huge difference in nuclear going from a small chunk of our present day power generation to eras where some see it as being the primary generator for whatever exponential increases in energy we'll be using in the future. This change in scale really should affect how you look at things. Nuclear in particular has some pretty catastrophic fail scenarios, major decommissioning issues, and other problems. These can kind of be hand-waved away at current levels, but can't when you start talking about increasing operations on the order of magnitudes.

And when you start talking about things like this you're also implicitly alluding to breeder reactors, salt-water extraction, and other technologies that not only add substantial complexity (and side issues) but also greatly increase the costs relative to present day nuclear, which poses even more issues in terms of sustainability.

For all intents and purposes solar is pretty much a flawless method of energy production. The one issue is night time production, but there are countless ways to store energy even if we ignore more utopic scenarios like global high energy direct current lines constantly transiting energy to where it needs to go. Given the practically unlimited generation possibilities the loss of energy involved in either storage or transit are not really that big of a deal, and would not affect expected pricing the same way as dealing with nuclear's practical problems of scale will.

This is wonderfully concise and spot-on. With respect to the American health care system, it's painfully accurate.

That's exactly what I'm advocating, it's not unnecessary, and should be trivial. If you are afraid of overhead, you can have a caching layer ala Redis or Memcache or even local process memory (but don't eagerly optimize, the costs are trivial to make this call). Either way, you need to communicate with an updated cache or a user record of store. Don't trust information sent to you from the client because it may not be accurate with updates (there are exceptions to this when you can tolerate staleness, but for the general approach this is what you want to do).
Yeah, I have yet to see a side loading washing without the moldy ring on the side of the door. I'm unsure how this is in any way a net improvement, as whatever action people take to fix the mold problem is likely to more than make up for the energy saved processing the water.
+1 to plain text + encrypt and cloud sync as @amorphous said. I want these files to stay with me during my lifetime.

I do the same thing, except that I recently made a simple editor UI that shows me the entries of the same day of previous years when I'm writing today's entry.

I've only been journaling this way for a couple of years, but for me this is a good way to review how were my life and thoughts in the past. Reading previous entries gives me more chances to reflect. Many times I feel I've grown, many other times I detect I still suffer from the same issues and this prompts me to take action to correct them.

You don't need a UI that does it, but I suggest reading back some of your previous entries from time to time.
I'll grant you that.

I filter companies at the phone screen. Do you always go for an in-person if invited? I don't. I make sure to take at 15min of phone screen time for my own questions. (I don't do tech phone screens with recruiters -- complete waste of time. Competent companies have a tech phone screen with an engineer, who you can ask questions of.)

And I don't parallelize my job search. I do them serially, in priority order (based on pre-interview assessment), waiting 2 weeks after interview for an offer.

I get it that most people spray and pray, but for well qualified people this is the wrong approach.

This is why companies get away with silly whiteboarding and take home exercises. As a candidate, you have to be more selective than that.
As a founder who is soon to start competing in the hiring market, I probably shouldn't be saying this, but there seems to be a huge arbitrage opportunity here available to smart startups.

Innovating on tired working practices (that most founders themselves would not enjoy in the least) offers an avenue to out-compete large companies for engineers while paying less cash and making your employees happier, more effective, and more loyal.

Please note, I'm not trying to say that startups should underpay employees, but financial reality for most founders does not allow for competing with the giants on salary (or even coming close). Since equity is now viewed dubiously by many, startups need to look for other things they can offer in lieu of 300k/yr that candidates will truly value. Things like flexible schedules (remote or partly remote), generous PTO, and good working conditions are often viewed by engineers as literally priceless. And for good reason. What's the point of tons of cash if you have no free time to spend it and your days consist of stress and drudgery? Sufficient wealth is a necessary component for quality of life, but beyond a certain baseline, other factors become more important.
