Most setups and most hardware isn’t efficient enough for language to really matter. So the solution to carbon footprint isn’t to stop using python, it’s to stop burning coal.
This feels, to me, like it is straddling the line between spam and a really clever art project featuring a link-ouroboros that generates cash as it swallows links to itself.

Indeed they may be. I definitely am.
- Health care in the UK will reach levels of the US. A few years later you will see the same process starting in Germany and France.

- South America will see a transformation of regimes, this time there will be socialist nations standing their ground.

- Migration from Africa and South America will accelerate so much, we will hear calls for armed borders in the US, Mexico and Europe.

- By 2025 climate politics will be the centerpiece of every first world nation, pressured by the public. Alas, it won't change much as China will still be public enemy #1 in the West and will not change much about their climate policies.

- Javascript will still be the center of web development, Web Assembly will not strike it down, but will instead die down after a few years of hype.

- Web Components will be the standard ground work for new web frameworks.

- Firefox will die, Chrome and Edge will share market with a 80-20 share.

> There's a picture in the article.

Yes - hardly helpful ones as you get a picture of a wafer and a box, not breakdown beyond that - hence had look and found other articles with much more detail upon this that answers the questions I raised in relation to the lack of pictures - like the cooling aspect in which you snipped my quote and removed that lovely thing we call context.

>Did you read the article?

Yes and had you read what I said you would see that the article does not answer the aspects I was asking - see what you did there.

>Yes, 16nm/TSMC

Yes - I found that in another article - which I also linked, you're welcome.
I think inherent complexity can only be fixed by better monitoring. Visual tools, monitoring, real time feedback are all things humans can use to get a better grasp of the innards of things.

We could use a lot more of it in software.

Nothing can fix unnecessary complexity. It will continue to affect every tool used to maintain it.

I would hazard a guess that it will probably earn a couple g's a month for the next 2 years, at which point it'll drop off almost completely with the exception of the occasional impulse purchase. Net earnings over next 3.5 years? <110-195k in total, optimistically. Still decent money for something that's more "fun" than other types of tasks.

I like how all the keyboard experts pop out of the woodwork when it comes to China like for almost no other country, yet objectively they probably know the least about the country.

Nobody has talked about the mandate of heaven for at least a hundred years, orientalist historiography notwithstanding. Historically, compared to other peer societies over the same periods, China has been very stable for long periods of time. It is only in the extremely myopic recent that the so-called "developed world" has seemed more stable and prosperous, and even that's highly debatable in aspects. On the other hand, when it does happen, rebellion or discontent for basic food safety reasons has no unique Chinese angle to it because it happens all the time all over the world, so I'm not sure what there is to gain by injecting something Chinese into it, except knee-jerk ideology.

This! But my take is it will be out of sheer necessity.

Killing all my social media presence for the last 3 years or so has been more cathartic than anything else I tried in order to acquire perfect peace. That, plus completely cutting out alcohol. I have near zero anxiety since embarking on this and I highly recommend it.
So that last link has numbers drastically different from the GP’s data, and it says that it comes simply from fossil fuel combustion and cement — not population. Population is also not a great metric; the types of power plants, typical personal transportation usages, and transport of everyday items like food will vary greatly. These are also all very dynamic.

The reality is all these data sources will he estimates. Estimates can be severely wrong — they can be produced by local governments with incentives to lie, or estimated by outside observers with poor actual knowledge. China has had a long history of empirical lying in their economic data locally due to internal party targets, for example. I see no reason for them to give accurate numbers to the UN/external world, where as with the US there’s enough decentralization and public data that there’s a better chance of being more accurate (but still probably quite off).
There was also a (brief) period in the early 90's where Microsoft's C++ had an option to compile to p-code. IIRC this was to reduce executable size.

I got an idea for a language where the code in the file format is some intermediary language, which you write with an editor plugin that makes it more human-readable.

The editor plugin (in contrast to existing language plugins) also translates the error msgs back to the human-readable code.

Just an idea, but I could not get it to fit in the questionaire :)
I'm saying that the headline would imply to me a fox walking from Norway to Canada.

Svalbard is Norway in the sense that Hawaii is the US. It's true, but the journey is completely different.

It's not too surprising to me that a fox would use the sea ice for transport - it would surprise me to learn that foxes could swim from northern Norway to Svalbard.
Yes it is supposed to say "public transit". Thanks!
PyPy doesn't completely implement Python C API (which anyway is specified only by the CPython implementation, not in any formal manner).
Nope, if it’s upheld the license is legit.

Same reason I don’t fault Apple for suing companies who make products to run iOS / MacOS on non-Apple hardware.
> It's about design and structure, the syntax doesn't really matter at all.

While it’s true that you could write any program in almost any syntax, that does not mean that syntax isn’t important. Syntax is the UI if a programming languages and as with any UI, UX matters. (You can accomplish tasks with bad UI’s too but that doesn’t mean it’s pleasant or efficient) Syntax shapes how you think in a language and how you view or use the semantics. We have many languages which are semantically essentially the same and only differ in syntax and people prefer one over the other often for different purposes. Ergonomics are important.

Hell, many people won’t even give languages whose syntax they don’t like a chance... (don’t like lisp parentheses? Python significant whitespace? Forth’s stack shenanigans? J/k/apl/Perl’s keyboard-mash-symbols? Etc)

Yeah, I just ran out of employees to cover and I worked backwards, so I didn’t get to use the term manager. I guess the system is good until the 1.000.000 mark ;)

I think line manager is a generic term for the person you explicitly report to though (e.g. the one who approves your time off), not a role in specific.

You can have both. You can learn English and about American culture while sticking to your own. In this way not only you don't lose anything, but also gain an advantage. Yes, you can get away with not speaking English in some areas of the USA (and not understanding some social/cultural cues), but it's hard to live in this way in the long term, especially if you plan to have a family.
Some global war. At least 1 public cloud AZ will get blown up in the process and undersea cables will be targeted. This will bring about new network tech, widespread autonomous weapon systems, and major disruption to global economic patterns. Once the dust settles there will be global interest in innovation in political structures, like direct digital democracy (frequent, contextual, paperless voting). Maybe we’ll get a decent canonical ID system with widespread adoption. These all might conspire to upend the dominance of USD. And JavaScript shall litter the planet, reaching 3 billion new devices each year. I hope I’m wrong about most of this.
It makes it even slower, and you have to manually optimize component renders. Sure you get less reflow due to dom diffing, but tons higher cpu time.

Looks very nice. And shows us, that Apple wouldn't need to bring out a separate ARM powered MacBook. If they wanted, they could have effectively had an ARM powered laptop years ago. Just by unshackeling the software of the iPads they make. My iPad Pro would be a great laptop for me, except for the limitations of the software. Proper mouse support for applications which require it would be one thing. The other would be dropping limitations about what kind of Apps are allowed on the machine the other. I fully support that Apps are sandboxed and plain MacOS would not be an ideal fit for a tablet, which is mostly operated by touch. But that doesn't mean that applications like tmux aren't allowed in a sandbox. Or full IDEs.
I was wondering if blood clots was more or less likely in space and found this:- https://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/station/research/cciss_fe...

Programming language design is stagnant with type theory dead-ending with too much complexity. Most new languages/features designed around convenience. Someone reinvents Make. Someone reinvents C++. A new VM becomes popular, potentially backed by LLVM project. Software continues to get slower, but "high performance computing" takes off as a hiring fad.

Every bull run there are people saying this time it will last (forever). Most notable (for me) was the 2000 one where I had friends putting millions of euros in stocks even as it was unraveling fast because "this is a glitch, it cannot die". And then it all falls down. I know plenty of people who, 20 years later, never recovered from that 'optimism'. Same before 2008, but made less of an impact in my circles as people did learn from 2000. Maybe theoretically it can, but practically it won't. And I don't think decade; I think it will be this year.
Lysander was a Libertarian, and Anarchist, and a Socialist.

His polital opinions were (and are today) very rare in that he was Left libertarian, where most people that label themselves libertarian are Right Libertarians.

Also most people that label themselves Socialist, are Authoritarians Socialists (meaning socialism via government violence)

Lysander Spooner is one of my favorite philosophers, his work No Treason the constitution of no authority was one of the first things of his I read, and still find it fascinating
Augmented Reality glasses have an "iPhone moment" where one moment they are barely around and the next, suddenly everyone has them. Gaming and mapping (especially interior maps of places where GPS sucks) are big draws, as are multi-user, shared realities in a particular physical space (where you can see and interact with objects that others can also see, in the same space, in realtime). 5G networks will prove essential in facilitating this.

Relatedly, "the cloud" will get more and more local and will likely entail having compute resources co-located with 5G cell stations in order to provide optimal latency for such applications.

I think there's differences of attention that make it different. When there's only one brand name, it invites a competitor from another market in. When there's three, but they all have the same policy, that's a bit different.

Lark vs. Slack comparison: which is the best for collaboration?
Dominic Cummings is the Chief-of-staff of UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson. He managed the Vote Leave campaign in 2016, the primary campaign during the UK referendum on European Union membership (campaigning successfully to leave the EU).

His success in Vote Leave is down to a targeted digital campaign on Facebook using the services of Cambridge Analytica / AggregateIQ. These are the root actions that sparked Facebooks turmoil around election advertisements that may again affect the 2020 US Presidential campaign.

Cummings is an anarchist and has said he wants to tear down the UK Civil Service, getting rid of mandarins and long-term civil servants, and replace it with something else. This blog post is part of that change.

It's government by data science, perhaps technocratic. With a governing majority of 80 seats, by December 2019 election, he thinks he -- the government -- has space to do controversial or unpopular things, and tearing down the civil service is something he believes is necessary.
Labyrinth: A platform for practising problems on systems development
landing page: https://faraazahmad.github.io/labyrinth

During a job hunt in software, you have to to go through a lot of Leetcoding. While Leetcoding helps one get a job, I think that's where most (not all) of its benefits end. It helps you get skills to get in through the door but once you're in, what then?

"Experience, of course!", you'd say. And I agree, nothing teaches you better than experience does. But you can gain that experience only as you go along the path in your career. What is going to prepare you for the days you spent chasing the bug, using all sorts of stack traces, debuggers, etc. only to realize that it was a typo in your YAML file?

What I propose is a platform containing problems that help you get experience in developing systems (backend, frontend, DevOps, etc) similar to what sites like Leetcode do for your algorithms practice.

The problems will focus on specific areas to teach a few things per problem. The problems would be submitted by the community. Who knows, someday someone's problem solved after multiple nightmares might help you avoid yours.

I'm starting a newsletter in which I would send a problem to subscribers every week, to create content and build an audience.

I have created an example problem for you to check out: https://github.com/leetcode-org/go-routing

I would love to get your feedback.

I have done a buttload of LSD, not so much shrooms but also some.

- I never thought it would cure my depression, but then again I have never seen my depression as something to be cured. It has helped me understand that my depression is a reasonable consequence of how I live my life and it also made me understand what choices I would have to make to change it.

- It never made me feel like my life is full of meaning - it actually showed me how the lack of meaning in my life is related to my depression. It also helped me understand the complexity of meaning and made it clear to me what would be needed to have a meaningful life.

- Psychedelics has not made me worse at my job, it has not caused me to spiral, it has not driven me to other drugs.

The experiences I have never once made me want to grow my hair, nor go to festivals, nor talk of energy and chi and chakras - and in general I avoid taking it with or close to other people. I don't now how you got to that at all really but I think it was bad influences in your life more than the psychedelics.

If anything my psychedelic journey has made me maybe more conservative than I used to be and I am less likely to believe in any kind of woo like chi and chakras than I was before I took it.

I would not really recommend anybody take LSD or psychedelics - but I think it have had a very positive influence on my life and if anything I regret not taking it more often.
