I see your point with respect to self-hosting. I get that most of the reason for running on-prem is data security and privacy and I can see why people might get annoyed at something they thought they were buying not really being there.

That said, while I'm not familiar enough with the details of how Gitlab supports self-hosting to comment on whether or not their particular case allows them control over the backend still or not, many self-hosted AWS solutions are implemented as marketplace AMIs for which the end-user can run in their VPC but still doesn't maintain control over what is running inside the AMI. It's not necessarily that odd for software implemented this way to still phone home with telemetry.
Why Carbon Capture Hasn’t Saved Us from Climate Change Yet
The comparison is flawed because Catalonia, like all other regions of Spain, is represented in the Spanish parliament through a democratic election process.

In contrast, the US was a colony of the UK with no direct representation. Also note how, just like in Spain, the US Constitution today does not allow for a state to secede, and in fact there was a civil war when some states tried to do just that.

The potential independence of Catalonia is a complex matter and these simplistic comparisons are unhelpful.

I guess you forgot the whole "and misdemeanors" part of their opinion on impeachment. They never intended for Presidents to be above the law. Quite the opposite, to the point that Presidents had an entirely additional set of restrictions, from citizenship status to emoluments. They'd be shocked and disgusted that so few Presidents in the years since have been impeached.
Gnome appears to have fixed this.
It's just the way nation-states are setup, as part of being in the union constituent states give up part of their autonomy. This happens all the way down the governmental ladder. The other states (or regions I'm not sure how Spain is divided so I'll just say states) also definitely have an interest in maintaining the integrity of the whole nation. Over the years money has flowed both ways both from the other states to Catalan and from Catalan to the other states.

Use C.

Standardized since the 80s, it has had only minor, backwards compatible revisions in 99 and 11.

According to the TIOBE index, it's the second most popular language in the world. It works on almost any platform imaginable and it has decades of tooling available for it.

Of course it doesn't have any of the good new things developed recently, but if it's stability what you look for, then I don't see a better option.

As an aside - I've been following you on youtube since long before 2012. I think I found you looking for Django Reinhardt videos and I was surprised when I realized you were also associated with the Django web framework which I had been using. You were one of those weird cross-over moments where two seemingly unrelated interests of mine happened to share a common link. When I first started watching you I believe you were just learning the guitar. I've watched as you learned and grew as a musician, then you toured I think with some Gypsy Jazz group. Heck, you just appeared on Josh Turner's channel doing a duo ... another surprising cross-over.

I just thought it might be nice for you to hear that someone is quietly watching what you are up to and that I draw inspiration from the things you produce.

Why would they install a battery backup, when a gasoline/diesel generator is cheaper?

I see grid reliability as the cornerstone of fighting climate change. Who in their right mind would replace their furnace with a heat pump, or buy an electric vehicle, when doing so will likely leave them cold and immobile multiple times per year?

We need a grid with more capacity and better reliability, if decarbonization is ever going to work.
Is it? While "syndicate" might have been a more succinct and accurate way of describing that group, it is a little bit uncommon. From most instances I can recall, acquisitions tend to be by a single corporate entity or a private equity fund of some kind. Unless such an entity existed prior to this acquisition, it does seem a bit out of the ordinary.
Amazing. Blog's link?
> It's not in any way uncommon.

Could you put numbers on that? From what I can tell, in the facility where Epstein died, there have been many thousands of people held, and only one recorded suicide in the last 40 years. Do you disagree with this claim, and think there were many more suicides that were not recorded as such? Or do you consider this rate to be "not in any way uncommon"? I could agree with "not impossible", but not with "not uncommon".
> But with JSON it's already invented

It's inventory and optimized for certain language types, specifically those that are loose with their numeric types. This includes most scripting languages.

In languages that require specific intrinsic types to be defined for a number, there are usually a lot to choose from and using the wrong one can be a real problem when converting from XML or JSON to a native format.

On a very simple level, what container do we use to encode the following data structures:

[100,4,10,156]

<array>
<num>100</num>
<num>4</num>
<num>10</num>
<num>156</num>
</array>

In most dynamic languages, hut number type used is just the included numeric container, which generally includes some sort of complex decision between floating point and bignums. For something like C, Java or Rust, generally we would want to choose an appropriate type. In this case, it looks like an unsigned 8-bit integer will suffice for most, and a 16 bit signed value for Java (which doesn't support unsigned values).

But what if the next number is much larger? Should we really need to parse all the values to determine the correct data type to use? That seems very inefficient, and we can't even be sure that we'll encounter values that accurately illustrate the range of values in one parsing. What if the next message or file we parse has large values?

For these languages the inherent data type definition of JSON is a poor match, since its looseness does not transfer easily to a language which does not inherently support it. If your target languages supports dynamicaly resizing untyped arrays, untyped key-value maps, and generic number types that support both very big and floating number types automatically, then JSON is an almost perfect representation format for you. If your target language works best when those items are broken into smaller more explicit components, there's a lot of extra work in parsing JSON, and I can see how that makes XML not look much worse in comparison (especially since your parsed data structure will likely be leaner because there isn't the overhead inherent in those convenient magical types, references are rarely as efficient as pointers).
To be sure, it's their wording.

How does a waiting list or lottery work in practice for housing though? Would people not be able to sell housing? Would they have to sell to the next person on the waiting list? Are children able to inherit it?

I'm not trying to be coy, I simply haven't seen a viable alternative with details. And since most of the world converged on using money to decide allocation of resources, I'm wondering if the alternatives have significant drawbacks.

I understand that wealth begetting wealth, especially for generations seems unfair. But the solution to that doesn't have to be lottery or waiting list of housing. If the goal is to spread the wealth around more evenly, then that can be accomplished with higher taxes.

The number of programs the soviets ran in the 60/70s makes me jealous of that era. One interesting note from the Wikipedia:

> This reliability problem was common to much Soviet space hardware from the late 1960s and early 1970s and was largely corrected with a deliberate policy, implemented in the mid-1970s, of consolidating (or "debugging") existing designs rather than introducing new ones.

Software developers have learned this well in recent years. Bottom up rewrites being far more risky than improving the legacy system is basically common knowledge at this point.

Yes, thankfully the state of California, in its infinite wisdom and knowledge of the particular circumstances of each individual involved, knows better than those poor schmucks who don't even speak english as their first language and therefore, in its great kindness, has determined to use the full force of law to prevent these poor, hapless individuals from contracting for Uber or Lyft, even if they think it's better than any other alternative they have at offer. Thank goodness the state is in such a better position from which to measure their alternatives, or we might have had to assume that people who choose to work with either company are doing so because they prefer it over every other available option. /s
I've been assuming so; the official page overwhelmingly describes it, explicitly, as a git tool, it's not like it has broad support (ex. for CVS, SVN, etc.), and honestly in their shoes I'd probably want to remove all that code that no longer is useful for working with any of their products.
This explains a lot, for whatever reason I thought that the nicotine salt, was the same type of nicotine as the original juices, just put into a different salt based mixture.

I didn't realize the nicotine itself is what was different, and would explain how there are sub ohm salts now that only contain 3/6 mg/60 ml.

I did notice when I tried the Salt pods my friend had that were 25/50 that it did give me an intense head buzz, pretty much like smoking a cigarette for the first time. I think that inhaling less vapor is also beneficial in pods vs the sub ohm, and if I wasn't planning on quitting at the end of the month I probably would switch to the pods as it would be easier to smoke in public without annoying/drawing attention to yourself like with the sub ohm mods.

Yep, the risks are higher in biotech, yep the rewards are perhaps not as good as a Google etc, and it's way harder. On the other hand it's more interesting and in the end these companies are creating new treatments for cancer or heart failure etc.

Disclosure: I was part of a biotech 'unicorn'.

In terms of whether we are at the cusp of a biotech revolution - I'd say it really kicked off 20-30 years ago and is already here - the new wave of immuno-oncology drugs transforming cancer treatment are a good example.

I think the role of computers in the future is a little overhyped - it's necessary, but not the fundamental driver - the drivers are the new experimental technologies generating the data at unprecedented scale.

Given that it's been decades, I think it may be safe to say "If Lisp were a good language to write an OS in, we'd see more than hobbyist projects and the Lisp machine companies would still be offering them."

I didn't say it is "the" premise of Buddhism. I said it is a premise of Buddhism.

It is.

The story of Shakyamuni Buddha achieving enlightenment after 49 days of meditation under the Bodhi tree is pretty well known. There, of course, are a lot more antecedents to contemporary Buddhist thought and ethics than that one incident, but it's fair to say it's a pretty core part of the historical tradition, and precedes essentially everything that came after.

For context in this discussion, I am a practicing Zen Buddhist.

I think the biology revolution will look less like the computing (1940s-2010s) or transportation (1890s-1970s) revolutions and more like the chemistry revolution (1800s-1950s). It will be less iterating on one process and more years of seemingly stagnant progress while people tinker with the last big thing until the next big thing roars out of the gates. Iteration will be brief and seemingly unimpressive. The only real progress will be, that which was expensive and hard will become cheap, but unlike compute that won't necessarily be the driver of progress.

For instance early genetic testing revealed a huge number of disorders that could be linked to single genes that changed the game for how a certain sub-population has kids and treatment for a handful of disorders. Then it turned out a lot of stuff was multigenic or only very partially genetic and progress has stalled. As genetic testing has gotten cheaper we have learned more, but actual usable insights are rare.

Or take lab grown insulin from 1980s, it was a huge deal, everyone worked on similar technologies and knock ins and for a handful of disorders it was a complete game changer that petered out medically speaking. It saw a weird second life in farming and GMOs for a time that helped improve processes but didn't really move the needle in a big way. Then as it got cheaper, and new more efficient tools emergedm it reexploded as the field of biologicals, which have been great drugs since the mid-2000s. And as the technology gets really cheap we are seeing products like lab meats, Impossible leading the charge there, emerge.

Now we are on CRISPR, RNA-sequencing, CAR-T, and tissue engineering all of which, when they hit will have massive impact, but then slow down for a bit until the next big thing revs up.

This parallels chemistry where the theories of thermodynamics and gas laws emerged, sped everything forward, then petered out. Then organic chemistry emerged using a lot of the ideas developed by the previous field, sped everything forward for a while then slowed down. Then inorganic and solid state chemistry etc. But there was never a 18 month doubling it was more like a 10 year lull followed by 1000x in 5 years, if you were counting for example, the number of compounds developed. You could smooth the curve and pretend it was like compute but it's not. We'll just look back in 20ish years, or even look back today at the 1950s, and say 'wow there is a lot of stuff in our life that was based on biological research where did that come from'. Just like someone in the 1940s would look back and be like 'wow where did all this plastic/metal fab come from'.

Yes, I can see that being tiresome. Our projects are closer to simulations, so rather than focusing on a tight core at first, we have a number of factors that can be in play during each time step.

Rather than worry about figuring out structures for our simulation objects like we might need to do in a lower-level language, Python lets us just throw together some numpy arrays and dicts as needed, and really iterate quickly on the solution. If I was working on something with a tight computational core I would probably take the low-level first approach like you have. Horses for courses, and all that.
