I never said it wouldn't be horrible. But let's be honest the human species lived on after WW2. I'm not sure where you got that I think that stopping global warming is horrifying, I don't think I ever said that. Beside that point that is not what I believe.

I think it would be great if we could stop global warming. But I don't think it socially possible. The only glimmer of hope I have left is that it is only a significant reduction of the human population while the rest can move on.
It's so much more niche than something more widely used like C that it makes me very suspect.

Some embedded envs I've worked in there isn't a argc/argv/envp.

In the Unix envs I've worked in it also takes envp. I think I've use that 3 times in the roughly 25 years I mostly wrote c.

> Sprinkling printf is an efficient way to debug.

I mostly work on threaded code, and print statements are my go to for tracking down weird timing issues. Things behave much more differently when attaching a debugger, and adding good logs makes a ton of sense long term anyway, so yeah, print statements are absolutely a great approach to debugging.

The "powers that be" are non-tech-aware. They care about results, not nerds pushing the nerd buttons (I paraphrase).

They literally have no clue about what they're asking for, and just have to hope that the people doing the coding can deliver what they want. There's no backup, no "plan B", no way of delivering this without relying on the devs to deliver. So, who cares what they think?

You can literally say to them "we can continue like this, but because of tech debt it'll take 6 months, or we can rewrite in 3 months". And who's to say you're wrong? I've had more than one project do that.

The truth is that no-one knows how long any of this takes. Not the devs, not the project manager, not the CEO. It's always a rough guesstimate, and the estimates only get better with more information. Smart non-tech managers get this, and deal with it. Stupid non-tech managers try to control it and create deterministic outcomes from the non-deterministic process that is software dev. That always fails.

So, yeah, the "powers that be" need to grok the nature of the thing they're trying to do before saying "you can't do a rewrite even if you think that'll be quicker"

That didn't exactly bring union, despite Norman French being the language of the ruling elite for hundreds of years. That actual Frenchman (William the Conqueror) had a son (Henry I) whose plans for succession tipped us into The Anarchy that was, in part, the Norman French wars of succession and part 15 year civil war.

Not a very unified union. :)

By using a do-while loop, you don't have to handle the special case of zero (although one could argue that the do-while loop is the special handling for zero). Python does not have such a loop, so you need to do an infinite loop with an explicit break and I know some people recoil in horror at the sight of such code.

I don't really disagree with this, but I don't think it addresses my point.

When values are in alignment, the power imbalance shouldn't matter much. But when there are disagreements within the team, the manager is the one who defines the rules of conflict resolution, or in extreme cases decides the result.

When values are out of alignment vertically the report is left with 3 options: adapt, escalate further, or leave.

The person you escalate to has more power, otherwise it would be pointless to escalate to them. Ignoring that fact seems silly.

They were zero-zero seats (capable of ejecting at zero airspeed/altitude, aka on the ground), so they conceivably would have been useful during some of the return trip, including sitting on the runway after landing. Understandably that was probably not the part of the flight the astronauts were most worried about though.
> How much end to end efficiency do you think a proper/average IT healthcare system would bring ?

I have a long history in proper IT, and I'm very legally/regulationally knowledgeable, and in my two healthcare gigs I've made friends of the medical staff for improving responsiveness in IT and making things easier to use, while also reducing security problems by having both of those worlds of knowledge. Usually top IT management isn't technically knowledgeable, and frequently they're not even that good with regulatory knowledge. That makes it hard on the rank and file to be efficient. Not to pay my own back too much, but being well versed in both regs and tech helps a LOT in user satisfaction.

It has nothing to do with fun or messing around. It is about people being incentivized to avoid the tooling.

It depends on how segmented the internet gets. As long as there's enough traffic of some sort between segments, it's at least possible that stuff can be hidden well enough to get through. If necessary, using covert channels.

But if there's no traffic allowed between segments, it becomes much harder. Then you're left with workarounds like this: https://www.wired.com/2016/04/ingenious-way-iranians-using-s...
> Some embedded envs I've worked in there isn't a argc/argv/envp.

I would think you are generally using _start rather than main in embedded systems. But in embedded systems portability is generally out the window so it makes sense that some _start's call main without arguments.

> In the Unix envs I've worked in it also takes envp. I think I've use that 3 times in the roughly 25 years I mostly wrote c.

I have never tried to use envp and had it fail, but for maximally portable code you should use getenv() or if on posix you can use the environ variable.

When I lived in New York and happened to travel outside the state, I'd regularly get people I ran across telling me how surprised they were to hear that I was from New York, because I was so nice and their impression (despite usually never having set foot in New York) was that New Yorkers were assholes.

I told them that virtually everyone I ran across in New York was nice, but that it was a gigantic city and there were all sorts of people there, and because of that it's really not fair to paint all New Yorkers with such a broad brush.

I'd get similar reactions when I traveled abroad and revealed to people that I was from America. One person even told me that they thought every American carried a gun. I had to tell them that, no, actually no one I knew owned a gun, the majority of Americans nation-wide did not own a gun, and it was a country of 300 million people of all sorts, many from other countries and of many different cultures, different politics, different views of the world. It's really not fair to paint all Americans with one broad brush.

So now I hear that in Idaho simply being from California (a state with a population of 40 million people) could get you painted with a broad brush in Idaho. It just seems so petty, insular, xenophobic, and close minded. Wouldn't the world be better if we welcomed those who are different from us, at least as long as they also wanted to live with us in peace?

Maybe mine's considered a stereotypically Californian attitude that would get me pounded down in Idaho. If so, that's just really sad.
Do those really take more than 70,000 gpu hours to train a model?
I have an interesting story to tell closely related to this. I used to work as a teaching assistant for an undergraduate computer networking course at UBC. As part of the course, we would usually ask the students to write a simple POP email server, in order to practice their socket programming skills. This was an assignment designed by a professor in the early 2000s, when being able to set up an email client was considered a basic computer skill.

Fast forward to 2019, and I can say that roughly 80% of students in the class didn't know what POP, IMAP or SMTP were. Before being able to get started on the assignment, we would have to provide them with additional material explaining how emails are delivered and what an email client does to retrieve them. The majority of students just grew up using the Gmail app or whatever self-configuring email clients they had on their phone/laptop, so they had no idea of what we were asking them to build.
> How are net neutrality laws, a form of regulation, a safeguard to keep the internet open and free?

Agreed, great example. The free market approach would be to ease the regulations on access and spectrum which have limited last mile competition in the US. Less regulation - not more - would lead to an enviro in which an ISP who was preferring certain content would be genuinely risking losing customers by doing so (and might gain certain types of customers, opening niches for other ISPs to win other customers, which would be fine too).
Advantage can be pretty synonymous with wealth though.

In which countries are law officers accountable for their crimes? I can't name any.

Two weeks ago in France, 2 policemen were sentenced for beating up students. This kind of conviction is extremely rare, but they were caught on CCTV beating up "for fun" two students that were walking back home. It was probably a racist beating, since they first attacked the colored guy. Their sentences were symbolic. Both are still policemen, and one of them has been promoted.
https://www.lefigaro.fr/flash-actu/prison-avec-sursis-pour-d... (in French)

De facto, policemen are above the law. And of course, many of them abuse that system. Yet most people don't care. They want law and order, even if the law is not the same for everyone, and even if the order is not just, and sometimes criminal.
>One thing weird to me about the gun debate is that it always seems to exclude police -- on duty or off, current or former -- and nobody questions that in the slightest.

Other commenters have already covered possible motives I will cover the practicality side.

It would be impossible to pass gun control with that massive voting block (law enforcement and everyone that supports them) against you. Public safety or something along those lines is one of the reasons people advocate for gun control. If you don't exempt the police then basically every police chief will go on record saying your gun control will be terrible for public safety.
I don't believe anonymity is a requirement for a decentralization technology, if anything, it hampers it. The burdens of anonymity seen in projects that try to preserve is often so cumbersome as to make the software totally unusable by muggles.

The weakness in IPFS is that not enough people use it, and its really as simple as that. Distributed data addressable in a namespace is a great foundation but corporations are actively subsidizing similar, centralized services to preserve their monopoly positions.

As long as Google et al are overflowing in money nothing can really try to displace their domination of the network.
I'm not clear on how #1 is related to the SIM swapping problem.

Yes, I encounter a lot of services that put way too much weight on phone number (maybe because phone number has some legal status) but not the big platforms. For Google, at least, they go well beyond making other methods available - they really seem to encourage/push users to use better second factors.

In my experience the big platforms are the least guilty. My Google account/data is by far the most secure account I have online or off.

Spoilage would happen even in storage, but the rate was temperature-dependent so you could make it last longer by keeping it somewhere colder. I remember there being some work on preserving food indefinitely by storing it in a barrel of vinegar.

You'd have to adjust your food production strategy to fit your climate. In a cold climate, you'd have a short growing season and need to set up cool storage/pickling barrels in order to survive the winter. In a very warm climate, you might not be able to get anything to keep very long, but you'd be able to grow crops year-round.

My guess is that the "death of trucking" will come in two parts.

The part they say is 'hard' - is definitely a hard nut to crack - but maybe only a few percentage of the time they spend trucking.

The "endless trips down thousands of miles of interstate, whilst remaining alert" - well that definitely sounds like something robots could do better right now.

If I were "Lord of all truckers", I'd be negotiating right now. Build some idiot-robot-proof lots near major cities that their new robot overlords could drop off/pick up from, and then focus on just the difficult short trips from these lots to drop-off/pick-up points. Nobody else seems to be working on building these hubs, and truckers themselves could send a day working to/fro and then sleep in their own beds.
