I have GEB in the bookshelf behind me and have read it all the way through, same for The Mind's I, two of the books in the list are there as well. The one book behind me that I haven't finished is the dragon compilers book by Aho, Sethi & Ullman.

Think of it this way: the best way to reduce the temperature of the planet, for now (and the near future), is to stop emitting CO2.

Very roughly speaking, we're looking at a pot on a gas stove rapidly heating up. Shutting down the gas valve is the easiest and most efficient way to stop it heating up. While the gas is still flowing, it's kind of pointless to ask "Yes, but is there any better way to cool the pot?"

What happens to old fab tech? A few years ago I tried searching around online to see if there was anywhere you could buy decommissioned machinery for fabricating NAND flash, but I couldn't find anything or any sign that such things ever really come up for sale. Has anyone worked in a fab or otherwise have some idea of what happens to the stuff that worked at larger process sizes?

You're overhyping the knowledge a bit. It can't have been gathered over that great a span of time because he was only in his late teens when he did this. Also I've been able to work out most of it myself over a period of about a year using the book "Introduction to Semiconductor Manufacturing Technology" by Hong Xiao for general process layout (what steps are necessary, in what order, with what chemicals, etc.) and a scattering of papers, chemical datasheets and ResearchGate discussions for the specific parameters to use.

If anybody would like to get into this kind of thing I highly recommend that book, it's very approachable for somebody coming from computing without a particular semiconductor/chemistry/material science background.
When the complexity of the attack surface gets to the degree of k8s I would say that is a problem.

The fact very few and I do mean very few people understand the low level functions going on ( like the multiple layers of nat via iptables ) and they are simply struggling to keep it running its pretty obvious they arent qualified to run this in production.

I am a lifelong gamer and for about as long, my parents have hated it. I remember one time they made me read about Korean guys packed like rats in computer labs, chainsmoking cigarettes and farming gold / whatever you farm in WoW for 18 hours a day. They were paid next to nothing and largely used their spare time to also farm to make money on the side.

I wrote it off at the time because reasons but to think that society, parents, or getting a low score on a single test would all but force them into a position like that is mind boggling. This was over a decade ago too, I can only assume it's gotten worse for a lot of people.

I can't see anything like this happening in the US because of half the country being red states that would be appalled at the thought of not getting married and having kids.

The point is that conventional agriculture (eg, with industrial inputs) is literally unsustainable - there is a 56% food gap in the coming decades. [1]

Also, there's plenty of evidence that small, sustainable farms are both more efficient (in inputs, and land) and more productive in total caloric terms that mono-cropped industrial farming. In the Pretty review I referenced, Table 3 shows the "adoption of agricultural sustainability technologies and practices on 286 projects in 47 countries" increased average % increase in crop yields from 22% to 146%. [2]

Per the FAO [3], globally, small farms continue to dominate in food production and their food production (and economic sustainability) would be improved via an "ecological intensification" approach. [4]

You get all of those benefits without any of the downsides by using any other modern styling solution, for example scoped styles and scss. The arguments against this solution far outweigh the arguments for it. You're free to disagree, of course.
Education systems are generally built around producing employable workers, so they always have this tension between totally concrete, 'train them for the job they'll have at the factory who founded the school', and totally abstract, 'maybe the job will change, so teach the foundations'.

The sad thing about this framework, is there's no obvious place for stuff that's not only abstract, but perhaps orthogonal to the economic sphere. So nobody gets taught philosophy. I think this lets everybody down, because with stuff you learn at school, you generally either learn it's hard, or you learn some things about it. With philosophy, you learn neither. So you think it's easy, and you know nothing about it.

I guess there's also some compounding effects from the prestige that gets attached to various subjects - I think philosophy is a weird case though, since the better an academic or scientist is, the more likely they are to take philosophy seriously.

The whole thing used to really bug me - but then, when people take philosophy really seriously (which seems to me, the history of christianity - a lot of people getting beaten to death over kind of dry philosophical trivia), it generally leads to worse philosophy. So everybody making the subject a target of shame and ridicule, making it out to be a ridiculous, worthless and pretentious occupation - all this actually is to the benefit of good thinking, in the end, since you won't get anybody philosophizing with ulterior motives.

Skimmed parts of it.

Read this bit:

"""

Right now, we are at net positive emissions. Every year, we add more CO2 to the atmosphere. Even if we reach net zero emissions by 2050, we’ll keep adding more greenhouse gases to the atmosphere for 30 years. Thus, we’ll keep increasing the rate of heating. Even in 2050, the planet will continue heating up - faster than today, but at net zero, the rate will stabilise.

Imagine a car on a super long path2 that ends in a cliff. We are pushing this car harder and harder, which makes the car keep going faster and faster. We will continue pushing for 30 years, and when we stop, the car will continue going at its current speed. This roughly translates to the car falling off the cliff. It doesn’t matter how long the path is, we will get to the cliff.

"""

This view that a given CO2 level determines a rate of global heating does not match any scientific view of the greenhouse effect of which I'm aware.

People often have a stronger reaction to your religion than your booger-eating; I don't actually understand the distinction you're making here. It reads like being "open-minded" for you is to be tolerant of the things that you're currently tolerant of, but has nothing to do with the things that you are not currently tolerant of, reactions to which you deem "instinctive."

I don't believe that disgust with either of those things are instincts, they seem like examples of things that are learned and vary by culture. Instincts are more like being startled by loud noises, or things unexpectedly touching your head.

Yep, I completely agree. I think that a lot of the folks coming out of the bootcamps will be fine in a dev job somewhere, just not at at a high growth startup with a lot of university trained software engineers. It's really disappointing that bootcamps aren't doing more to help funnel their graduates into the best roles for their skillsets.

> What is a minimal set of JS/CSS frameworks, templating engine, deployment tools, IDE I need?

None. You don't need any of that to build a modern web site. The web is still, at its core, HTTP requests that send text to a browser, that in turn renders what it receives. Even though web site do more these days, they still run JavaScript to do it, which you can still code in a basic text editor.

The better question is what problem do each of the modern tools solve, and which of those problems matter to your goals? Odds are, yes, you'll want some. And many people will tell you their favorite combo of tools and declare it to be the answer.

My recommendation is find your own answer, by first sticking with what you know, and adding one piece at a time. If you know python, stick with that. Django has its own toolkit, and it works. Whether or not you like it is up to you. But it is a starting point. You can always start from there, add on modern CSS. Bootstrap is at least decent to let you work with some recent CSS frameworks to see how they operate, but there are certainly other choices as well. React and Vue are popular, I believe for good reason, so I'd at least try a few tutorials to see how they strike you. Over the course of trying those, you'll pick up webpack, babel, and npm, and get to understand the ecosystem.

If you play with one tech on the side each week, in a couple months you'll better be able to answer those underlying questions of how each solution solved problems in web development. And you'll be able to make your own choices of which ones you want to stick with.
Wind's about 20% in Texas, too, and growing.

The state produces by far the most electricity of any state, too. It's almost twice as much as Florida.

https://www.eia.gov/state/?sid=TX

Unfortunately it's also a huge petroleum and natural gas producer. About half of the energy used in the state is for industrial use, much of it for the oil and gas industries. On the bright side, natural gas is displacing coal in the meantime while solar and wind are not replacing it fast enough. It needs to get better, but things could be much worse.

Well, he hadn't graduated high school yet. Your points about the expense are probably sound, unless he was doing some serious wheeling and dealing (which is certainly possible, some high schoolers flip sports cars and make money that way, etc) but a large part of that would be an artifact of being one of the first to attempt this sort of thing at this scale. Modern manufacturing often doesn't scale down very well. Such steps are necessary, however, to improve the level of capability of the hobby community in general. The next project will probably be done cheaper, learning where there is flex in the process, etc.
So you think kubernetes eliminates the need to run hardware or you think it reduces the number of machines ?

I think it adds overhead but does allow you do maximize server density and usage allowing you to use all 500 machines more effectively.

And it adds a plethora of attack vectors
The abortion protestors would not be effective because fortunately the bulk of society does not agree with your belief that protest grants license to disrupt other people's lives and we have enacted legislation to prevent protestors from interfering with the operation of abortion clinics, businesses, transportation, etc. If abortion protestors did that, they get hauled to jail. Same deal with BLM protestors blocking highways. Protestors have a right to be heard, not a right to disrupt the lawful activity of others.

> I don't see any hypocrisy. I want what I want, and I don't want my enemies to get what they want. We can't both get what we want if our views are incompatible.

You're essentially saying, "it's good when I do it, it's bad when people I disagree with like do it." This is hypocrisy, justifying actions for oneself but criticizing others for doing the same. And not to mention, I frequently find that this mentality fosters enmity between people with different views - you even referred to protestors espousing views you don't approve of as "enemies".
Do not give a Chicago cop the benefit of the doubt.

Using statistics, a robot would say that the entire CPD is racist.

I do not at all like the early established conceit of this article: that a country with a currently low birth rate is 'committing suicide'.

Yes, social conditions in South Korea are dreadful in many ways and yes, these conditions are definitely influencing South Koreans' decisions on whether to have children, or marry. But not marrying and not having children is not suicide, neither for the individual nor the society.

The Black Death is estimated to have reduced the size of Europe's population by 30% to 60% in the 14th century. After that extreme population shrinkage life improved dramatically for the ordinary people. People were more valued than they had been before. Shrinkage of a population can be healthy and, as it improves conditions for those who come after, will go into reverse at a certain point.

> CVE-2019–11707 was simultaneously discovered by Samuel Groß of Google’s Project Zero and the attacker.

At least another time in the last week I read on other threads on HN or related links that vulnerability were found almost the same time by independent people.

Here we have a researcher from Google’s Project Zero and the attacker.

How do you explain these coincidences?

What is the chance that some prominent researchers being targeted and their systems are actually exploited?
Fair enough, but while we're on the subject of religiosity, I'd recommend reflecting upon your own line of thinking and arguments, which are airy and empty, and make plain that you're not willing to change your stance on the matter (dogma).

It's also quite funny that you'd mention Heidegger, of all people, and then accuse the Frankfurt school, of all things, of engaging in rituals. Let's not forget, you're discussing a school of thought that was criticized for having no positive assertions and operating almost entirely negatively. Correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems quite impossible to construct a religion on something that's comprised of nothing but the critique of other ideologies and value systems all the while offering little to no alternative. In fact, your claim is totally bizarre. Adorno's inability to offer a positive system/alternative to all the things he relentlessly critiqued was, and still is, the chief argument against his philosophical work today.

In efforts to try to unpack what you're saying, perhaps what you mean by "cod religion" is that the popularity of the school's stances and works bothers you? or more likely the means in which some people have adopted the thought bother you (passionately and aggressively)? but it's not fair to extend distaste for the followers of a thinker to the thinker. Existentialism has its own merry band of people that don't have a complete understanding of the subject but bandy it about and rudely shove it down everyone's throats nonetheless. Same goes for the "analytic" philosophers. Cynicists...etc.

Even returning to your original gripe (by the way, nothing more than the contents of a single Wikipedia article that criticizes one study conducted by Adorno and others, and not a primary nor philosophical argument against his body of work), the criticisms levied at the study aren't even that damning. Do they call the results into question? Certainly. The coding issues are probably the biggest problem with the study. Should they temper one's interpretation of that particular text? Of course. Do they invalidate the entire edifice of Adorno's thought? I think it'd be a bit extreme to go so far, but what do I know of rationality, after all? In fact, criticisms of this kind are not outlandish and similar issues crop up all the time in studies of this sort--social science is difficult to get right, and is much fuzzier territory than the "hard" stuff. There is, after all, a
replication crisis in psychology for a reason.

If you have some stronger reasons and philosophical critiques of Adorno's overall positions I'd be more willing to potentially accede and reconsider my own thinking on his work, but as it stands you're just insisting on his worthlessness without so much as attempting to compose even a fart of an argument as to why anyone should agree with you. If anything, your comments suggest the attitude of a person who is both ignorant and passionate on this subject and thus feels it necessary to put forth statements that are extreme, empty, and divisive.
It sure sounds like it, RobotRoberts.
The Fairness Doctrine was for broadcast media.

RF spectrum was a limited public resource and the government regulated who could use what frequencies.

In exchange for the use of that limited public resource, broadcasters had to give equal airtime to competing views and dedicate a portion of their time to public-service and community content.

None of that applies to the infinite number of "channels" available on the public internet.
