"the number of dependencies is problematic because it takes a long time to review them"

The dependencies themselves are generally smaller and more self-contained. Arguably it is easier to review since the side effects and cross-module behaviors are much more pronounced (it's generally deemed a "bad thing" by the community for modules to make unnecessary global actions)

English is certainly not free of ambiguity, but in the past i've seen you heavily emphasize precision in word choice, so it's surprising to see you de-emphasize it here. Nobody is a final arbiter of definitions, but the distinction i'm making is not a trivial one, and Hickey isn't the only one to have made it. Even thinking about it colloquially, how often do you follow the word "complex" with an infinitive verb describing an action? A rube goldberg machine is complex...and hard to build!

> The point is that Zig doesn't even try to prevent UAF now

I wouldn't say Zig exists at all right now, but just as it strives to one day be production-ready, it strives to prevent use-after-free. Safety is a stated goal for the language.

> Hasn't this essentially been what C++ has been trying for memory safety for decades, without success?

No. I'm talking about a mechanism that can detect various errors at runtime, and is turned on or off for various pieces of code and/or for all code at various stages of development. Rust, BTW, doesn't entirely guarantee memory-safety, either, when any unproven unsafe code is used, and even when it isn't (e.g., have you proven LLVM's correctness?). We always make some compromises on soundness; the question is where the sweet-spots are.

Software correctness is one area where there are no easy answers and very few obvious ones.

I was at Google for five years, and by the end of it, I'd reached a similar place as you. Alas, my leaving Google was precipitated by us deciding to move, not a well-thought or self-directed intentional impulse on my part. But it turned out to be the best thing ever. For some reason or other, I had the interview day of my life at Square, and got offered a position where they expected a lot from me. It has been wonderful, and I should have switched companies sooner.

Leading up to that, part of my path out of the doldrums was (a) therapy, and (b) going through the list of technical subjects that seemed out -of-reach-wizardly (writing a compiler, writing an emulator), and chipping away at them one plush, cushy Google bus ride at a time until they were working. But the change of scenery — and especially of expectation — was invigorating.

A few miscellaneous comments (“advice is a form of nostalgia”…):

- the feeling that you're only idling at 10% mental capacity will kill you slowly.

- you might want to investigate the idea that you're procrastinating because of anxiety or depression, rather than the reverse

- assuming you're giving programming interviews, and using borg/bigtable/cns/etc/etc/etc day-to-day, you'll be amazed at how much knowledge you've picked up in 6 years. You probably have a practical fluency with distributed and sharded capacity design that most interviewees lack. Depends on where inside Google you landed…

- just preparing for and attempting the interviews at “companies with a higher hiring bar than Google” will probably wake you up a bit. Good luck!
It's also directly integrated in Apple Maps already but it's probably about more information than just the AQI.
In a thread where the topic is “lots of science might be wrong” your take away is “doesn’t matter, everything is republican’s fault” and not “we should slow on using complex non-reproducible science to drive public policy because we know lots can’t be confirmed and there is no great way to tell what is definite“ ... well I suppose you demonstrated why it’s a “crisis”.
I found this in the FAQ:

If I want to share a calendar with my spouse, do I need to get two subscriptions?
No. You can just create a normal subscription for yourself, and an "Associate" subscription for your spouse. Then share the calendar with the second account, and that's it.
However, Associate accounts can't create their own calendars. So in order to have a personal calendar (that you can't see), your spouse will have to get a normal subscription too.
Based on the literature I've skimmed or watched, I find the correlation between NAFLD (non-alcoholic fatty liver disease) and T2D interesting. It seems that fat is distributed in different people to different sites (subcutaneous, visceral, liver) at different rates. Fat in the liver can result in NAFLD. In some cases, there seems to be elevated liver enzymes (AST/ALT) for months or years prior to overt diabetic symptoms in people who also had an A1C level considered typical for prediabetes.

The following article describes research for substances that appear to protect pancreatic beta cells. It mentions that one of the substances, adipsin, is correlated with subcutaneous fat.

https://news.cornell.edu/stories/2019/11/protein-finding-cou...

Likely, many people with T2D have excess fat regardless of where it's distributed in the body, but in places like Japan, which is claimed to have a 10% rate of T2D despite an obesity rate of 3% (probably more relevant if measured as subcutaneous fat, i'm not really sure how they measured it), it could make for interesting speculations for some of the mechanisms leading to development of T2D.

I believe so. The campaign against internal migration is happening in the sense that people in western states that aren't California are pissed at Californians for moving to those states and driving up housing prices.
NIMBYism is pretty much a de facto campaign against internal migration. It's not much of an issue in the fastest growing states, but certain states with hot economies but stagnant or declining populations, like Massachusetts or California, are affected by it.
But people were coerced by the media they saw into hating whichever candidate and, many, into loving one of them.
Seems like a step towards what China is up to with their social credit score concept. I can see this would be useful from a safety/business risk perspective, but have concerns as to what this means from a personal perspective.

What I don't get about the luxury companies making electric is that their range is crap. Range matters for an electric vehicle, and I would expect a luxury (non sports) car to have better range than a Leaf/Tesla 3/Bolt etc.

200 charge cycles at 4x the storage = 800 lithium ion charge cycles. That’s easily competitive. Put another way if your getting 300 miles of range a current EV that’s 300 x4 x200 = 240,000 miles.
In politics , the best manipulation campaign is to have a vision that moves people. Why are american Dems stirring again the CA pot?

> Is freedom of movement within the United States explicitly part of the Constitution?

Interesting question. Not explicitly, but the Federal Government reserves the right to regulate "interstate commerce," which is a power granted specifically to prevent hard state borders, among other things.

States/municipalities do have mechanisms to screw with people from other states via tax and transportation manipulation. But, for the most part, I've never heard of any animosity towards local residents from other states, and I live and work in a city whose metro-area spans three states. Immigrants from other regions are different beast though.
Every widely supported feature was once a bleeding-edge feature.

I'm not sure how you can about finding fundamental enduring solutions to platform gaps that user-space tools solve without adding platform features. That's always going to create a period where some browsers support a feature and some don't, and we've _always_ had to deal with that. It won't be different here.

I mention build pipelines because that's what most bundlers actually are. If they drop the bundling part, they can just focus on that.
I climb outside, I backpack, I was the first person in my college to do study abroad at a specific smaller uni, I became a beginner in breakdancing (good enough to do some moves at a party, not to perform), I've learned to scuba dive, I've learned to AT ski, I participate in a book club that has roughly a 50/50 gender balance (important for hearing view points and books you might not have), I've spent literally years fixing my dog's horrific separation anxiety, I taught another dog I cared for to close the door behind them, I cross dress about once a year. I can cook.

All of this makes for better conversation on a date, or to get a date than what you do for work or how much you make.
Qualia: The Knowledge Argument
It's not really all that conducive to starting and stopping depending on energy prices. We already have that same capability with Aluminum and I've never heard of any Aluminum plant shutting down during the day and picking back up at night. Those cells and keeping them running are going to be expensive enough that I doubt it would make economic sense to stop production unless power is just absurdly expensive. The price of iron isn't about to fall through the floor and the price of electricity isn't going to skyrocket so even if power was free all night I'm still not sure that it would be worth it to save a little on electricity costs in the day and miss out on a chunk of production.

I think the much bigger impact is going to come from deferred charging of battery electric vehicles. The transportation sector accounts for 28% of total US energy consumption. Electric cars are getting capacities large enough that range is close enough to on par with traditional ICE vehicles. It's already commonplace to shift around when you fill up at the gas station by a day or so, with electric vehicles rather than having to work around personal schedules to refill you can just leave it plugged in when parked at home and let it charge whenever it's appropriate so long as it meets basic constraints like e.g. make sure I have at least 60% charge by time to leave for work.

If a large portion of 28% of total energy demand can be deferred a bit that should do a lot to increase the flexibility of demand to accommodate the variability of renewable power sources. And that doesn't even touch on repurposing spare capacity as a distributed energy storage mechanism. If the margins of buying power at cheap costs and selling it at peak demand can more than pay for the degradation of the battery and any conversion inefficiencies then that's a ton of energy storage capacity right there. It already makes economic sense for utilities to use some battery energy storage systems today so I can't imagine it would be impractical when the capital costs are reduced to nothing and it's just the operational costs to consider.

Because the Democrats don’t want to hear that they lost because they chose Hillary to run instead of almost anyone else. That “it’s her turn now” was complete BS that messed up things even for us people who have never set foot in the States. I can see the Democrats making the same mistake again with Michelle Obama in 4 years’ time if they don’t win this round, I only hope she’ll be smart enough to stay out of it. On the other side of the aisle the Republican base was smart enough to send Jeb Bush swinging early on during the primaries, that’s why they now hold the Presidency.
Agreed, people change; what you did 10 or 5 years ago may not be a good representation of who you are today.
Only if you discount people's ability to think for themselves. Both these candidates had been in the public eye for decades. People decided based on what they've witnessed with their own eyes.
I've had similar experiences in my past and just like you, isolation turned me quite asocial. Also my schedule drifted to its natural cycle and spent a lot of time staying up and was quite productive and enjoyed my own company but the cost was too much to bear. I noticed that I was becoming savage around people in the sense that I didn't know how to connect anymore. Fast forward 10 years and am married, have a child and fit into a normal schedule; am feeling quite healthy mentally, though I feel I don't get enough time just being by myself. If I had the chance to change anything in the past though, I would leave things as they are. I that feel I grew in some respects while being alone/lonely. I did not pray but I did my type of meditation which is painting.

I've been watching a foreign documentary about isolated people, people who live in abandoned villages and have few or no neighbors or people who live in very inaccessible places and every single one of them were talking about god and praying and their painful loneliness.

I did this for 18 months, figured out that stable personal relationships were critical to me (read: met someone I loved) and settled down again. It was completely worth it though as it really changed my outlook on the world and I'm a much happier person. I also feel more grounded in where I'm at in my life.

Your conception of what women are looking for in a man might not hew as closely to reality as you think.
Only if you change your habits to maximize the lifetime of the batteries. For example avoid charging the car every night and instead charge it for a few nights after it's completely empty.
But still, there's no complete list of these and only some of them are properly documented. I've tried to look up some prefs about half a year ago and couldn't find it anywhere. There's just a wiki that mentions some of them and on various blogs you can find a mention of what something does here and there, but that's about it.
I've read dozens of papers on Li-S over the years because of how much incredible potential the technology seems to have. The "dirty little secret" seems to be not the charge cycles (which are less than, but similar to, other batteries), but the large amount of electrolyte required, which reduces the effective energy density of the battery. There are all sorts of papers reporting high-capacity and durable cathodes but fewer that address the electrolyte problem, so I'm curious to see what their plan for that is.

A few papers about the electrolyte problem are e.g.:

https://pubs.acs.org/doi/abs/10.1021/acscentsci.7b00123

>>SaaS can be on-premises.

True; the distinction between SaaS and COTS becomes moot in practical terms then, and all of my comment still applies.

>>The tools need to adapt to the user, the user shouldn't need to adapt to the tool.

Again, that's:

- True for an IT project whose goal is to support whatever the user is currently doing (and what many of us are trained to do / think in current IT paradigm).

- Not True for a business transformation project whose goal is to change business processes for the better - and, basically incidentally, deliver a COTS ERP to support them through an IT portion of the project.

We are not talking about where the button is or how many times it takes to click or what the icon looks like. We are talking fundamental business processes and workflow, which are core to how a business operates internally.

For business processes which are company's core business, presumably they have them figured out. That's great, and IT should support them.

For back-office ERP, this is not your company's core business; you're probably not a special snowflake; and the market's average/best practices are likely miles ahead of your legacy over-complicated business processes. YOU need to change if you want to reap the benefits of shiny expensive new software.

There is extremely limited point in implementing a new back-office ERP (HR, Financials, CRM, EPM, etc) if you're not willing to approach it as BT project; radically change how you do things; and expect a shiny new tool to make you more competitive automagically without your processes and maybe even culture/habits changing.

My fundamental point remains: what the big consulting companies do with ERP / backoffice implementation (when done right) are primarily BT projects, and incidentally involve IT implementations; and treating them as IT projects, whether that's Sally in accounting refusing to change or Bob the developer accommodating Sally thinking it's the right thing to do, will cause them to fail.
(generalizations and oversimplifications abound in above statement; but it really takes a very very large and repeated application of a mental sledgehammer to dislodge some universally-good but specifically-counterproductive ideas and habits from the ERP space)
