Indeed, the learning process is important. I think it's particularly instructive to look at how `ap` is implemented, and what is left out in the transition from Monad to Applicative:

mf `ap` ma = do
f <- mf
a <- ma
return (f a)

With a Monad, the action on the right of the bind operator is a function of the result of the action on the left. The second operand of the `ap` function, however, does not have any access to the result of the first operand. The two operands are evaluated independently, apart from their side-effects. That reflects the fundamental difference between Applicative and Monad: an Applicative instance just sequences effects and combines results, whereas a Monad instance allows effects to depend on previous results.
It's a little bit ridiculous, but you could actually have this if you transpiled perl to rust :)

Daily-life design pattern, meaning a general idea or plan that can be applied across many things in life, thus simplifying a routine or otherwise enabling improvements.

An example might be, improving the parallization in the way a kitchen works can save a restaurant money or enable them to add new menu items.

Or an anti-pattern of checking HN while a build is going, could maybe be turned into a mini-focused-learning-or-relax-time by an app/service.

What else is there, where the main blocker is recognizing the generalizabily of a solution to multiple problems, that could be made to be sold?
All carbon taxes can be made non-regressive by giving each citizen (or resident, or taxpayer or whatever) a credit.

A form of cap-and-trade in which the carbon credits are auctioned off to emitters (and retail fuel sellers) and the profits are distributed equally to all residents would likely be progressive, since wealthy people are likely to have a higher carbon footprint.

[edit]

The biggest problem with any sort of carbon tax is that at some point it incentivizes evasion more than conservation. e.g. importing finished goods and electricity rather than raw materials and fuel just moves the emissions to another country.

I tend to agree with you that fucking up teaches way better lessons, but it requires a foundation.

I'm an older/senior guy as well. The difference is that, I decided to accept a role, that changed into a role doing something I had never done.

I was never a programmer, and I accepted a role that unknowing to me, ended up being a development role. I decide that it would be fun to become a developer, and explore this world.

I would be considered an expert in other similar fields, but not this field. The biggest misjudgement on my end was that I didn't understand how far behind I would be. I assumed it would take a lot of effort, and drive, but I completely missed how much it would take to become competent.

Still enjoying the experience, and am getting very excited towards a future where I can deliver and be relied on for critically important things.
Carbon Engineering should be focusing on capture and sequestration, not this synthesized fuel BS.

Air-To-fuel is not and will never be their moneymaker. The synthesized fuel is not in demand and probably was thought of by a board member who heard of the word "value add" for the first time.

The ONLY in-demand product of CCapture is the CO2 itself - whether it's the gov. who pays for it to be sequestered or an O&G company who pays for it to be used in enhanced recovery. Even the O&G demand is insignificant compared to the amount of money they'll get in sequestration contracts from the government, or by proxy, the FF producers who'll be required to implement them on site.

It's important to note CCS is required to meet emissions targets - so I hope CE doesn't get distracted with less important/profitable goals.

I highly doubt capitalism is going to save us from climate change considering it has largely driven the problem.
If we’re going down that rabbit hole, it doesn’t even prove there is such a thing as a bad episode. It could just be that people who don’t like the simpsons became more likely to use IMDB as time went on.
"Level 5" is the name they've given that division - as much a goal as anything. I doubt they'll launch at anything near true level 5 capability
Yes, everyone should learn to use a slide rule in high school, and should spend at least a couple months regularly using it for calculations in math/science class.

As you say, they not only build strong intuition about logarithms, but also help teach about working precision, etc.

Handheld electronic calculators should be banned as having almost no pedagogical value. In general assigned problems should be conceptually more challenging but should have simpler numerical values. Anything that needs more calculation than that should be done on a computer with a real keyboard and a real programming language.

In primary/middle school, counting boards (like those used in ancient civilizations or medieval Europe) should be used much more than they currently are. Experimenting with these tools is great preparation for thinking about how computers store and manipulate data.
Also tax evasion. A semi-anonymous store of cash. You could earn some money doing a gig, then go abroad and spend it on holiday (withdraw from ATM or whatever).

You can do that with non-stable coins too, but this would be more attractive due to the predictability of it's value.

>Why?

It cost a ton more than any other way of delivering a similiar result. Operating costs are higher than a raised highway because it's underground. The only pro is that a bunch of rich progressives who don't actually live in Boston get to pat themselves on the back about how the old eyesore of a raised highway that "divides the city" (or some mumbo jumbo like that) is gone. That's not enough to be worth the price. It was a boondoggle. They should have just rebuilt the raised highway.

>Why are we still talking about Level 5 autonomous driving when we can't even get Level 4 working properly? I believe this is sending the wrong message.

i think it is capability gap between tech companies and car companies. Car companies can't even get cameras around all the body to avoid accidental scratches during parking. Where is tech companies, while could easily do a lot of car tech, have no business case doing anything less than Level 5 - the Level 5 is a tech platform where is anything less is an advanced car, and the tech companies are in the platform business, not car business.
I'm saying you should eat the humble pie and prioritize paying your bills if it comes to that. Obviously if you apply to 400+ jobs and don't get hired to any of them, your expectations are too high.

Some of my notes on why carbon sequestration is a no-go for civilization to achieve lithospheric homeostasis.....:

5 Billion Cubic Meters of Oil are produced Annually by humanity.

30Bn Tons of CO2 generated.

60% is un-sequesterable because it is small and/or mobile.

40% is sequestrable and large scale/stationary.

12 Billion Cubic Meters of CO2 are thus sequestrable.

You must liquefy CO2 before putting it into the ground.

50% -70% efficiency in converting it to a liquid that we can shove into the ground.

6 to 8.4 Billion Cubic Meters of Liquefied CO2 are thus Sequestrable.

Shoving 6 to 8.4 billion cubic meters of liquefied CO2 into ground is no small matter.

Think about it this way, humanity built an entire industry focused on an annual extraction of 5Bn Cubic Meters of Oil over a time span of 100+ years with refineries and complex processes spanning multiple countries, geographies, regulations, wars, and land rights.

Also, who’s going to buy sequestered carbon?

The reality is that something like this will require spinning up an entire Trillion dollar market.
Unfortunately, "fun" on a mountain pass tends to approach deadly, especially in winter time. I'm in BC - the Coquihalla is foggy already, and in midwinter it can and will be incredibly treacherous.

It's a gorgeous drive in good summer conditions, but I think people would handle boring and monotonous far better than the snow, or the fog where you can only see maybe 20m ahead.

Neither of those deals with the fundamental issue.

This is true. My comment is going to seem self serving because I am a project manager, but You Need A Project Manager! Someone who will ensure that things that need communicating get communicated. Someone who can see across the whole project and even multiple projects and communicate priorities clearly. Someone who will chase down deliverables and ensure everyone is unblocked. Very rarely will developers proactively reach out and admit they are blocked and can’t complete task A because team B needs to deliver task C first. They’ll just silently move over to the next Jira ticket. You need a project manager to pry it out of them! You need a project manager who can indeed read minds. Why is X not getting done? Why is Y ignoring her EMail? Why haven’t we heard from team Z for a week? Risk + inaction = crisis. Good project managers smell risk in the air before it turns into crisis, and take action.
I don't see any reason to assume they will pay interest on the USD in custody, nor do they claim to do so, which makes them 100% honest in my book.
I gave up when I got to the section on munufacturability. The idea that a package this size isn't big enough to house a large amount of digital logic is just wrong.

That is also 100% true when a project does not have a project manager.

Reminds me of the old gag-with-a-painful-truth: "A meeting without an agenda accomplishes precisely everything on the agenda".
This is just symptom-chasing. Growth ideology in general, and capitalism in particular, are incompatible with the continued existence of a living planet. The problem space of replacing complex living systems with crude technological ones will be explored fully by these crazed systems in all possible directions even if/when this one symptom (climate breakdown) is countered with a narrow technofix.

The first crucial question is whether catastrophic damage to Earth's ecosystems is biologically inevitable given human cognitive capacities. Given a satisfactory answer to that (which I think unlikely), the next question is: how can we displace the cancerous ideology of limitless growth? These are obviously more challenging issues, requiring the recruitment of a far broader range of human capacities and knowledge than dangerous & blinkered technological capitalists can offer.
As fairly experienced aquarium hobbyist I'm a bit worried about the side-effects of this approach. If you add amounts of olivine that are sufficient to create a globally significant effect on CO2 how do you avoid altering the local environment parameters too quickly? Marine animals are not as adapted to quickly changing environment like freshwater or terrestrial animals, and sudden swings in CO2, pH and hardness (which are all interconnected) could just wipe out the whole local ecosystems. Cyanobacteria and algae blooms are just the tip of the iceberg here. This is something that needs to be implemented really carefully and step by step to avoid causing even worse catastrophe.

Leaving insignificant jobs like those off your resume is substantially different than leaving a job you spent five years working, at a major company, in a senior position, off your resume.
I understand this situation applies if the “developer resource” is a direct report. However in many instances the dev may have multiple projects going on at once and there is some miscommunications on project priorities. Yes, this has happened to me and it’s why I abhor the phrase “developer resource”
Competent network security groups will configure the management network VLAN with filters that only allow traffic to/from the switchport & IP range of the management servers, i.e. no inter-machine traffic on the mgmt vlan.

Good shops will also disable all IPMI port traffic (623) on general vlans, as part of wider edge filtering (no egress of 1-1024, with exceptions for specific mgmt protocols like remote assistance, but only from specific origins).

In summary, BMC has long been considered a potential backdoor and been severely restricted for a decade. It is certainly one of the least interesting things you could choose to compromise if you were building a motherboard implant. More interesting things would include: RF antennas built into the PCB or ethernet PHY, but with plausible deniability, i.e. could be parasitic.
I'm curious as to how this could be a widely known exploit in the hacker community, but no one reported it until 3 years after its publicity.
> If you were influenced by a high-church growing up, you're more likely appreciate hymns.

Counterpoint: Lots of people, especially those who had not-great experiences growing up in the church, tend to go hard in a different direction when they grow up.

In "Blue Like Jazz", Donald Miller talks about how he thinks it would be super cool to belong to a relatively obscure (in the US) denomination like the Greek Orthodox --- that is, unless he had grown up Greek Orthodox. Then he thinks it would be totally lame and predictable.
Well, because to the first approximation pretty much all land is used - any land thats suitable to be a forest but is not already a forest is only that way because it's used for grazing or farming, otherwise it would overgrow naturally (though not as efficiently as with planting). If you want to increase the amount of woodland, you have to decrease the amount of pastures or farmland, so you have to either buy that land from the previous owner (because they won't be able to graze or plant there anymore) or take it from them by force.
Volume is just base 2 instead of base 10. It’s probably the most sane of the imperial measurements.

With the advent of MOOCs, I’m been taking lots of science courses to get a basic foundation in science.
I would love to do research without getting my Phd and work on interesting projects.

I still have a lot to learn and read but it seems organic chemical experiments are really expensive and lots, lots of trial and error is needed. From the drug discovery course I took, robots are used to create millions of compounds to look for potential hits and then even more trial and error is needed as your progress through the subsequent steps. Also these big drug companies seem to have lots of unshared proprietary data that greatly helps them reduce the amount of experimentation that is needed to find potential drug candidates.

Unlike programming , the equipment chemicAl compounds, animal models all seem to be very expensive.

I would love to create a potential drug, patent it but it just doesn’t seem feasible unless you work for a biotech company :(

Sometimes what is right in front of your face is true. That is why stereotypes exist.

No one has addressed the point I made. Just saying it in anecdotal when I have observed it in a number of instances by myself is incorrect. I am not saying it is one personal experience. I am saying it is a pattern I have seen 5 or 6 times myself and I have seen it as a recurring theme in news etc.

BTW I have been programming computers for 15 years. There are these things called Heuristics. They are based on experience. I am sure a lot of people would be will to agree with a lot of programming Heuristics ... but when it comes to something else ... it must be much higher bar all of a sudden.

The weirdest part about all this is that Obama was deeply religious (though the black church is scary or something), but Trump is obviously an atheist.

You nailed it. Tell me you can't or won't do it, and I'll pull it back and re-assign it, or maybe just do it myself.

Tell me "you're on it", and what choice do I have? Any action I take will be seen as "undermining a junior engineer who needs to grow".

This is bunk - I use a TON aid non-MFI chargers, and without exception they work as long as I have a decent cable. Old, dodgy or worn out cables can cause an error message but it’s got nothing to do with an MFI chip in the charger.

It can usually only vampire onto the first ethernet port. Depends on the motherboard, whether both ports are e.g. Intel, or one Intel, the other something else. Also, usually only 1000base-T not 10G.
Goddamit no

>About 10% of the world's surface is desert, which is cheap, uninhabited, unproductive land that is drenched in some of the most powerful solar radiation on the planet.

Land doesn’t have to be productive to be protected. Deserts are ecosystems, and this kind of “changing the wild forest frontier to mans will!” thinking is how we landed up without forests in the first place!

From desert hare, to toads that come out once a year when it rains, to cactii, snakes, insects, and many other creatures - deserts are filled with living creatures.

Is this stewardship of the planet or just ensuring habitability for humans?
> In a world where things are constantly getting prioritized, it is just not making it to the top of the list. Isn't necessarily at the bottom, either, but needs to be "on the way" for the person to get it done.

Lots of people just don’t want to say “This isn’t a priority, and I’m not working on it.” It’s easier (and it sometimes ends the conversation faster) to say “I’m working on it, it’ll be done sometime!” and kick the can down the road.
I believe the argument "Laws/legal procedures are complicated because the world and its actors are complicated" is false because it confuses cause and effect. It's true the world is complex, uncomprehendingly so. But that bears no relationship to laws and policies, upon which man chooses to impose on his fellow man.

I do see how the application of simple law is complex. But that complexity could be seen as a trade-off. I'm willing to have a reasonable amount of injustice in exchange for simplifying the application of the law.
Why did you pick Ethereum instead of Ripple or Stellar? They have lower transaction fees and almost instant transfers in the seconds while their token contracts are way easier to setup and maintain if you are thinking on adding EUR, GBP, YEN, etc in the future. The only real advantage of Ethereum is their user base which is important but not the only decisive factor.
Agreed.

And while not every project requires or deserves a dedicated PM - every project needs someone who'l own the PM responsibilities. It can be _very_ hard as one of the devs on a very small project with no PM to "smell the risk in the air" while you're deep down the rabbit hole of coding - but if nobody does it things are very likely to eventually grind to a time wasting halt.

Great Project Managers are worth their weight in single malt scotch. (or substitute your personal very expensive substance...)
