None taken. You are quoting politicians and their wishful thinking here. Of course, they say what you want to hear.

I could answer you by writing a very lengthy essay, but I do not have the time or motivation to do that. Instead, if what they are saying is true why does Germany has 7 outs of 10 of the worst CO2 producing sources in the EU all of them are coal power plants?

https://infographic.statista.com/normal/chartoftheday_17582_...

The answer is: German mass hysteria made the country to turn off its nuclear power plants (you know, the other type of base load power plant that does not produce CO2) while not having any other option because renewables are not going to give you enough power. As a result they run on coal.

Lets add to the mix of the price of doing that:

https://ibb.co/rvJ1Wb2

So to sum it up, Germany produces the most CO2 in the EU and having the most expensive energy price by a large margin. This happens when you try to bend reality to your ideology instead of facing the challenges of our world and try to solve it.

It should be clear at this stage that without serious advencement in storing energy you cannot have a green solution to our energy needs. My prediction to the future, we are going to use solar + nuclear in the future because the combination of these two gives the best option of humanity and also because these work in a setup when you need the energy in space.
Own storms of life can be stilled
What is the storms of life that you my reader is facing, experiencing or passing through right now that is even making you to be weary and despair of life? Is it barrenness, sickness, disappointment of various types and trouble whereby you are thinking of committing suicide?
Hear this very good news, JESUS CHRIST said in (Matthew 11:28-30)28 “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30 For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.”
The storms of various diseased where quelled in the lives of a great multitudes at once in (Matthew 15:29-31) JESUS Christ stilled the storms of physical hunger and penury incame to Him at once (John 6:1-13). He is still busy doing so today, because, "He is the same yesterday, the same today and forever too.

It's common practice in many organizations to effectively deploy new code with configuration changes. E.g. you write new code that is initially disabled then enable it with a configuration change. Since the code deploy didn't fail, you get a false confidence in the code and the configuration change seems like a safe "flag flip".
Yes and my muscle memory goes back a long way..

I like some of the stated features on the webpage though, Aerc seems like something to keep an eye on.
In these outages there's so often someone dicking with the system. Config change, upgrade, etc. I once asked for a "stable" version of app engine that they largely left alone. Not sure if that's possible or would be better - it's likely that the vast majority of upgrades are bulletproof. But still...there's danger in fiddling.

I don't know. Intuitively I would have thought that a NAS that updates itself automatically, with SMB1 disabled, is less dangerous that a NAS that is in theory insulated from the internet but not patched for security vulnerabilities (since not connected) and connected to machines that are on the internet and could be infected.
> India is all about reselling things we don't make

Boy, you are a downer! Things are not the best, but they're not all bad either. Here are some important things India makes:

1. Movies - it has the largest (by number of productions) film industry in the world, and third largest by revenue (admittedly the latter is expected and it's third by a fair distance)

2. Satellite launch services - Antrix corporation, run by the Indian government no less.[1] And it makes a profit, what a crazy world we live in!

3. Generic medicines - Largest manufacturer of these in the world[2].

4. Motorcycles - The 2 largest motorcycle manufacturers in the world are Indian companies. [3][4] Are their bikes household names in developed countries today? No, but neither were Honda or Toyota in 1960.

5. Steel and cement - Apparently the 2nd largest steel and cement producer in the world (I didn't know this)[5][6] but also admittedly a long way off first place.

I didn't have the time or patience to research more, but you get the idea.

> What IP do we build here?

Most countries don't produce that much valuable IP in this stage of their growth. That comes later, when the basics - manufacturing, laws, financial systems, transport - have been firmed up. Having said that I'm sure there's a non-zero amount of useful research from the IITs or IIS or ISRO or BARC.

> Compare this with any top world economy today like US, China, Germany, UK etc. You begin to realize how far behind we are.

That's why (apart from China) they're referred to as "developed" countries and India is not.

> Programmers want to be managers ASAP.

You may find that outside the technology industry, it's like that everywhere. Anecdote: a few years ago, I caught up with an old acquaintance (who was raised in the US) working at an American consulting company in the Midwest. When he found out I'm a software engineer in the Bay Area he said "Oh, you're just a programmer." and sounded disappointed.

> As most of us here are with the developer hat. I think it's worth reminding that the target audience of those machines are Pro creatives. (those who didn't ditch Apple yet ;) )

I seriously wonder about those that haven't left Apple yet, that are willing to shell out $6k for a new Mac Pro. There was a small cohort of studios and creative professionals who invested into the old Mac Pro Trashcan and got severely burned by hardware that was overpriced, obsolete, and non-upgradable. Almost everyone I know who bought one of those ended up re-investing into a W10 PC with 1080s to TITANs or now 2080s.

You can't do anything meaningful in 3D with the specs on this PC, so this machine is instantly DOA for the entire top-end of the (read: willing to spend $$$) creative field... that's motion graphics, animation, modeling, game design, VR, vis fx and simulation, etc. because since Apple took so long to ship this they've all experienced the wonders of a ~$3k-$4k computer that was bought 2 years ago and runs circles around even the highest spec Mac Pro.

The next tier down, your UX designers, visual designers, sound designers, print designers, type designers, etc. have no need for this that a Macbook Pro doesn't serve.

Mac still has Final Cut Pro, Logic, and Sketch. Those apps are what tether creatives to the OS, not much else. But I think many, many people are seeing that PCs are becoming the better route for the creative industry, generally.

Google was clearing their data collection servers due to an NSA audit
I'm not against paying with currency, except insofar as this inherently benefits a subset of humanity. But the issue is not that ads are inherently bad, it's that the interaction is inherently dishonest. A more honest way would allow you, the end-user, to bid for the same ad spots to allow a proper valuation of the ad to the perspective of the consumer. My impression is that Google goes to large efforts to obscure the 'value' of a web page from consumers. If there were proper exchanges between ads and money this might make sense, though I can only imagine the number of ads you might watch to pay for a meal would drive anyone insane.

Plus, ads try to target users with money, so presumably their value is proportional to your value. That's probably also a key reason why you don't see this anywhere: it's a blatantly classist practice.

Honestly I'm rather against needing to clear samples at all. I think the art should come before any concern that it would put someone into debt via a lawsuit—it should never result in making no money off it when the value is clearly in the product of the sample + performance.
> does it matter?

It matters if they return to China with their American education and:

-engage in nation-state attacks on behalf of the PLA [1], or

-build facial-recognition software to further repress the Uyghur community [2], or

-contribute to the "social credit" system which makes it next-to-impossible for everyday Chinese to express anything other than unvarnished support of the ruling party [3], or

-eavesdrop on advocates for democracy in Hong Kong [4], or

-build advanced weapons systems that are then installed on newly-constructed islands in the South China Sea [5], or

-conduct industrial espionage on behalf of Chinese companies with key government contacts or PLA-connected C-level execs [6], or

-participate in advanced research projects like quantum satellites which could give China a persistent strategic advantage against the NSA [7], or

-install facial recognition technology in primary-school and middle-school classrooms to enhance indoctrination methods at an earlier age [8], or

-any other number of future scenarios we haven't even discussed.

I'm not saying every overseas Chinese student fits this description. While living in Shanghai for almost 6 years, I encountered quite a few that were open to democratic ideals and skeptical of their government's propaganda. However, there is also a non-trivial amount of nationalism among everyday Chinese, and the CCP is capable of directing it against the US anytime it sees fit, through its monopoly of mainland media outlets (and increasingly, non-mainland ones as well) [9].

I don't pretend to have a solution to this problem. But I think it may be short-sighted to expect Chinese students to be wooed by the wonders of democracy after a short-term study-abroad program in a country whose democracy is flawed at best.

This is an early paper by Mac Lane that lead to interesting results (such as abelian categories) and paved the way for the notion of categorical duality in early category theory.

Interestingly, he did not cover the case of (not necessarily abelian) groups and attempting to phrase the category of groups in self-dual terms necessarily would lead to additional structure on the category.

Nevertheless, the abelian case turned out to lead to the whole field of abelian categories as studied by many great mathematicians (such as Grothendieck). This paper is one of the earliest full exhibitions of how to approach duality in the category theoretic sense.

Personally from what I've read and seen in terms of progress by governments and manufacturers, I think it's a stretch to even entertain the notion that by 2030 the majority of cars won't still be internal combustion powered. The amount of electric vehicles on the road is certainly increasing day-to-day, but I'll just be impressed if even half the cars sold are purely electric by 2030.

That's like saying "you're not forced to use a car to travel", it's just not practical to use the internet without it for many reasons.

I'm looking for a transaction rather than pimping your data in a completely opaque manner, which is inherently an anti-social interaction, for the end of selling you products you don't want and don't need, another anti-social interaction. It doesn't need to be this way.

Email is my todo/inbox. Its disposable. Wiki is gitlab wiki. It is my index for the information I've collected.

I do not move too much information from email to wiki. I'm quite mindful of it actually. Wiki gets written and re-written, cross linked and edited. I keep it consistent. Helps quick lookups. I very frequently use markdown files in topic specific directories. Helps store information gathered from deep dives on those topics. Markdown file names are also consistent - YYMMDD-topic-detail.md. Helps sorting by date.

I use the wiki mostly for the free hosting and the links. I could very well use a static site generator when there's enough content in a topic's directory to be shared as a mini website. A link to the wiki on the home screen comes quite handy.

In many cases it doesn't make sense. For instance, what if your protocol contains a static member?

protocol P {
static var x: Int { get }
}

Here `let x = P.x` doesn't make any sense, because it's only the type implementing the protocol which has that member. However this would be possible:

func f() -> some P { ... }
let p = f()
let x = type(of:p).x

because in this case p has a concrete type, we just don't know what it is.

Typically configuration changes tend to have much more impacts compared to implementation codes at the same line counts hence its consequences are less predictable. Also, it usually coordinates multiple systems at once, so it is much harder to test especially when it comes to a capacity problem caused by complex interactions among multiple systems. Canary or gradual roll-out cannot reliably catch this class of problems, since it's not really visible in a small scale.
For a home lab or dev/test gear, where getting stuff off Ebay is an ok thing to do, older Mellanox cards can commonly be found for under $100. Sometimes much cheaper. depending on what the seller is doing. :)

Looking quickly at the US Ebay just now, here are some older single port ConnectX-2 cards:

https://www.ebay.com/itm/Mellanox-MHQH19B-XTR-PCI-E-Single-P...

US $23.00 each, free shipping. Note - I don't know the seller at all, this is just from a quick look on Ebay.

There's a tonne of stuff on there. ConnectX-2 is no longer supported by Mellanox, though the cards themselves are generally pretty bullet proof.

Drivers for Linux and FreeBSD come with the OS. :)

Drivers for Windows are a bit more complicated. Mellanox has an archive section with the ConnectX-2 drivers, which work for most people.

Cabling directly between two cards - instead of going via a switch - is pretty common for people just trying out the tech. It lets them plug one card into (say) a FreeNAS server, with the other card in their desktop or workstation. Removes the ~120MB/s limit of 1GbE, assuming any kind of reasonable disks in the connected NAS. :)
