The difference between Yarvin and vinegar-drinking scolds is that Yarvin merely repeats yesterday's vinegar-drinking scolds. If you like his writing, there's literally centuries' worth of it (in fact, it only stopped being the norm rather recently), and if you go study history at a university you'll read quite a lot of it. It does seem less fresh, though, once you read it in proper chronological order, and with appropriate context, rather than somebody posting a stuffy, safe, and dull 1897 text as a surprising, reactionary 2012 blog post. He served cold leftovers and seemed like a chef to people who'd never had a good meal.
> but society needs wind to be significantly overprovisioned to avoid burning carbon.

Should be "...overprovisioned in order to completely avoid burning any carbon relying on wind power alone"

> Storage is really hard. We don't know how to meaningfully do it yet.

This is plainly misunderstood. Storage can already be bought, currently costs between 165 and 305 $/MWh [1]. And the price reliably drops as there is more demand and development in it. There is no huge demand for storage yet. Long term storage can actually take the form of carbon neutral fuels and use existing thermelectric plants to generate when required. No "maybe" about that, its existing commercial tech.

I'm not Irish, so Derry is just as exotic as shibboleth.

English is made of Greek and Latin and German and more; it's weird to say that one of those languages is exotic, but weirder still to level that complaint against the oldest known word whose meaning hinges on it being intentionally exotic.

Finally, Londonderry/Derry is a disagreement, not a shibboleth. Shibboleth is about having the ability to pass as a native, not the preference to do so. In modern IT terms, It's something you are, not something you know.

Five years ago we had a really broken production and development setup which required working on remote machines that we reset each week. I spend a lot of time ricing my setup but could not find a dotfile management tool that would fulfill all my needs - so naturally, I wrote one - of course ^^

Scot here - there's undoubtedly a Scots feel to the accent of Sharon Campbell-Rayment, but it's more like that of an originally non-native-English speaker who moved to Scotland and then lived there for >20 years. There's a couple of things I noticed in her first clip which might interest folks here:

1. the way she says "Scotteesh or Ireesh" in the first 2 seconds doesn't fit 100%. That way of pronouncing "-ish" as "-eesh" exists but for a more raw working class accent than what she has. So my dad is from Govan, a pretty working class area of Glasgow, and he'd say it like that. I grew up in Northeast Scotland and have an accent closer to hers and I wouldn't pronounce it this way.

2. The way she says "... we've since known that it is a ..." makes me think of a Northern Irish accent

3. Her "Inverness" has the emphasis backwards which is common in for Americans and Canadians when pronouncing Inver- and Aber- placenames. We would emphasise the second half - InverNESS, AberDEEN - whereas she's saying INVERness (or INverness). So she's picked up the general pronunciation, but some of the Canadian quirks are still present.

In any case it's super interesting!

It's not. The DGCA is the Indian equivalent of the FAA and "said" means "ordered" in this context.

Further down in the article there is discussion about IndiGo failing to meet the timetable they were originally given, which is probably the reason for ordering them to take planes out of service when they get new ones:

> India originally asked IndiGo to replace all its faulty engines by Jan. 31, but the DGCA said Monday that the airline’s efforts to meet the deadline didn’t “instill enough confidence.” In a meeting with the regulator Monday, IndiGo offered to replace all unmodified engines by January 2021, but the request was denied, one of the people said, adding that the initial deadline remains.

You should try to do 3D graphics and maybe some demoscene/shadertoy stuff. Helped me tremendously.

3D graphics is mostly vector maths and linear algebra but you can do some calculus too. Derivatives are tied to continuity and continuity is tied to smoothness, which make things easy to visualize.
Yeah no, don't do that. After reading about the Derry thing, I realized I better forget all about it and never mention it in the presence of an Irishman, a Northern-Irishman or anyone else from GB, and especially not botch my reference to any one side. ‘Shibboleth’ has the nice quality that no Ephraimites recently had, or are likely to soon have, misfortunes because of the phenomenon, and the whole affair was three thousand years ago.

Where I'm from, some people, having nothing better to do, occasionally raise noise saying that ‘to each his own’ is offensive because it happened to be written by Nazis on a concentration camp.

it's everyone's fault, but that's not the issue here.

the real issue is you're working with people who you are not satisfied with.

in my experience, if you have to motivate people you work with in order to get things done, it's already over, because it means the culture is fucked. I've never seen it work. The ideal picture is if you work with people who inspire you every day.

Next time try to be careful when looking for who you work with.

I was in a pre-release Macintosh Processional Developers Seminar at Harvard University summer of '83. Because the OS was still in development then, each class would receive photocopy handouts of the pages of Inside Macintosh written the day before, with programmer's and editor's pen and pencil corrections on the pages. I bound them all together into a phone book thick binder, put them into a lockbox and forgot about it until a few years ago. Just last year, I visited a rare book collector and showed it to them - it is apparently in the "priceless" range and they want me to donate it to the Computer Museum in Boston. I've not made up my mind yet, but am thinking I should scan the entire thing and put it online.

There are definitely environments where "weird stuff" on the screen would get attention, but that will apply even if you're running Windows - it just has to look "hacker-like" enough. So I'm not sure disguising the desktop and the file manager will help if you still spend most of your time running shell commands.

If everyone in a workplace spends all their time on corp gmail (white background) and in terminal sessions to some mainframe somewhere (let's be generous and say teal text on black in like 20pt courier), anything that doesn't match either of those appearances will stand out pretty dramatically.
The thing that's wrong with Forth is it promotes eschewing verbal identification of variables for the sake of positional. This is promoted as good mental exercise, but is just bad language design. As Rich Hickey said, we humans prefer to identify things in terms of keywords, not positions. For any method with more than a couple parameters, kwargs are more convenient than positional arguments or, worse, implicit args on the stack. This is why concatenative languages are doomed to be just a forgotten cul-de-sac off the highway of the history of programming languages.
Also don’t typically need salt for them to be palatable.
Sure, but "schedule action at scope exit" is an easy (assuming your runtime already knows how to unwind the stacks) problem to solve. "Perform escape analysis and guarantee immediate destruction; efficiently without full gc nor refcounting" is not and they're not the same problem at all.

I'm not sure what is "particularly odd" about this? Also, you have a very accusatory tone.

I've been following tree sitter for a while, as I find the tech super cool and can't wait to see more practical applications.

One thing (among many others) that I've found really promising about Dark is its editor. See the hands-on video on their homepage for a demo: https://darklang.com/

It mostly feels like you're just typing text like in any regular text editor, but your inputs are actually manipulating the AST directly, and the editor itself ensures that your inputs can never result in an invalid program (i.e. there's no such thing as making a syntax error in Dark). It's inspired by tooling in the lisp world like Paredit and Parinfer, but Dark itself doesn't have to _look_ like a lisp because the structure of the AST is maintained by the editor itself instead of by users manually inserting and removing parens. It's an ingenious way to get most of the productivity benefits of a lisp-style syntax and all the structural editing tooling that comes with it, without intimidating new-comers with the super foreign looking parens infested syntax lisps are infamous for.

The other day I was actually briefly looking into whether or not it could be possible to replicate something like this in Atom using tree-sitter for some mainstream language like JS, but ended up getting blocked by the fact that Atom doesn't seem to offer an API for plugins to block/replace user input. This is probably for the best, given all the horrible ways this could be abused, but it does mean if I wanted to explore the idea further I'd probably have to either fork Atom to experiment with the idea or build something up from scratch, which is a pretty daunting undertaking given how deceptively complex modern editors can get these days.

But maybe I'm missing a different way to accomplish this in Atom with its existing APIs? Or does anyone know if VSCode's extension APIs can support this use case? I realize I've probably barely scratched the surface given how little time I've spent on it so far.

One of the neat things about the original Inside Macintosh was that in addition to describing the toolbox APIs it also explained the hardware found in the original Mac with enough detail that one could write a driver (or an emulator).
