I want to reinforce what is said in this post. I did not not have respect for DMT and it floored me. I misused it several times to my own detriment and I really wish I hadn’t. It is not to be played with. This drug holds profound opportunities for personal growth and development. If you misuse it you are taking a huge risk.
That still doesn't explain why they honk at red lights when no overtaking is going on.

For remote work, pretty much anything that's not done on an actual assembly line.
One of the few features I miss when going back to other languages.

e.g C# 7's destructuring is good, but it's no where near as powerful and ubiquitous as JavaScripts.
That asssrtion isn’t correct. Microcode updates are not installed permanently automatically; users need to patch their bios/firmware for that. But the OS can (and does) dynamically apply microcode updates at boot, every boot.
Nobody was complaining of the changes here but the fact that Catalina is littered with bugs. It’s absolutely impossible that the bugs somehow function well on your Catalina installation. I suspect you’re either a fanboy and that you put your judgement after your pride or maybe you are a light user and didn’t run into these bugs
I've often wondered how often honking is actually useful, e.g. for preventing an accident, versus just something to vent frustration. It seems some people instinctively reach for the horn before the brakes.

Training new employees is still quite a bit lower friction with on-premise work. This obviously depends on the kind of work you do, but in my case the work is sufficiently eclectic that even very smart and experienced people tend to take a long time until they have a good level of understanding of the problem domain.

That doesn't mean I'm against remote work, by the way, we do a lot of it. But we need to be realistic about its limitations.
It's your official place of residence paperwork. It can be used to limit internal migration as many official government activities like voting or paying taxes or whatever have to be done in the area for which your hukou is for. Housing is also suppose to verify you have a hukou for the place you are trying to buy/rent....that sort of thing.
In India honking is used for signalling that we are coming etc. Many times it's just about saying you do what you are doing, I am overtaking you so don't move.
I've not run into too many, you just have to be careful around re-entrancy from Wren->C->Wren, and slot allocation in foreign constructors.

There's some big stuff in the pipeline, so I'm sure it'll be enhanced soon enough.
This is awesome. Looking forward to the economics research papers on this in a few months
As a MechE, I'm always super jealous of my Software Engineer counterparts in terms of work from home. I know a bunch of teams are actually heavily recommended to work from home at least once a week.

I have to thank Watchmen series for educating me in something I knew nothing about before.
Hey, first of all thanks for asking the right questions! :)
I have considered putting together a big "FastComments vs..." chart to answer these questions.

I'm trying to offer a larger feature set than Commento.
This means things like:
1. Better ways to fight spam
2. Migration supports more than just Disqus.
3. Inline image support (which will also be able to be toggled in the future)
4. Customization on a per domain or url basis: https://blog.fastcomments.com/(1-24-2020)-how-to-make-a-comm...
5. No signup process, no passwords. Everything is email based, however we allow anonymous comments now (configurable).

Also, solutions for larger customers (integrations, developer support, etc).
At the highest tier for $20/mo Commento gives you 100k monthly page views. FastComments gives you one million on the lowest tier (closer to what Disqus gives you on the lowest tier, but cheaper).

I'm not sure Commento has pagination? I'd have to check. But we just added that today too. Also, a cool blog post is coming on how you can optimize threaded pagination! :)

But yes Commento has been around longer. I think I'll catch up quickly though.
Sure it is, a couple of CVE queries plotting C related exploits per year.

Morris worm was the first widely know C exploit, which still gives us about 30 years of exploits to look into.

Regarding how many exploits other languages have, for starters not memory corruption due to out of bounds access, integer overflow or implicit casts, as Algol derived system languages, since 1961 (8 years before C was even an idea), had checks for those kind of errors.

C only made it to fame, because original UNIX could not be sold and its source code tapes went from university to university.

Had it not been so, probably we would be using Bliss, PL/I, Mesa, PL/S, and not having arguments how good one needs to be to write code that doesn't allow for memory corruption errors.
It's worth remembering that Chernobyl wasn't the only disaster driving public distrust. Chernobyl is just the most known and mythologized one in the West, but there were three in relatively quick succession during that period: Chernobyl (1986), Spitak earthquake (1988), and Ufa train disaster (1989). All three (and the government response to them) had huge resonance among Soviet population, with Spitak surpassing Chernobyl.
Work-from-home is not a good thing. Meeting people in a company is something important.
From the video it seems that there need to be many cars honking together for the threshold to be passed. A single pedestrian would probably not be able to trigger it.
Lithium ion battery production is estimated to reach 1TWh per year in 2023 and 2TWh per year at ~2030 [1]. If you integrate that curve, you're still looking at several decades to build enough battery capacity to fulfill the world's storage demand if solar is the primary generation source.

The wind does blow at night, but intermittently. Wind generation is even when averaged out over long stretches of time, but in the near term it can vary a lot. Some estimates for how much storage we'd need to reliably meet demand for generation that comes from solar and wind at 3 days supply. The US consumes over 10TWh of energy daily.

All of that may be true, but it doesn't detract from the fact that money is money, that workers are waged, and you could accumulate, even if it was extremely hard. It is currently very hard to accumulate money for large sections of the global population, but that doesn't mean that what they are trying to accumulate is money. The Polish state, like any other, traded on an international level with money. Stamps are more interesting, but they share the features of a currency: a general equivalent (albeit restricted in this case), accumulative, and transferable.

The fundamental character of money stayed the same, even if there were restrictions on it, as did the capitalist character of money paid through predominant wage labour. The state still collected taxes (perhaps at a different stage in the production process, though) in money. China also has currency controls, but the renmbini is just as much currency as the US dollar is.

Just as a crime exists in a country (albeit with practical restrictions, i.e. you get thrown in prison), money has existed in every modern country, even the so-called "socialist" ones, with some other restrictions.
It never should have, the treatment php gets mostly feels like people finding it "not cool enough", seldomly I've seen someone have a real reason to avoid it
I’d wait. It may worthwile be when things are fixed and alternatives for things that no longer work pop up
From a file access point of view in Catalina, the OS’ “left hand” still doesn’t always seem to know what its “right hand” is doing.

For example, just today I tried to save a file on top of an existing file, and when the system panel prompted me, I said Replace. That appeared to be accepted but after the panel closed the app failed to actually save, citing something about how I do not have access to the target file. I used the Finder to trash the old file and retried, and then it worked. From a user point of view, this is exactly the kind of work-around that should never be required, and I can imagine some people not even trying and just thinking everything is broken.

And as an app developer these things are even more frustrating because I literally cannot tell all the ways a user “might” have an issue anymore. How many awful combinations of file-related failures are there? How many obscure messages are possible, and is a message even displayed for every case?

If a system is really complex, it is not only hard to get it right once but it is really hard to keep it right over time. I am worried that all these special cases will just be fixed and re-broken for months on end.

The healthcare system in Wuhan is overwhelmed. The hospital are turning away patients with symptoms without evening screening unless their deathly ill due to a lack of resources:

which means that the statistics are going to badly off at this point.
Indeed. About halfway through, I had had enough. One of the unfortunate things about these topics is the tendency for anybody arguing against the popular narrative to have "undesirable" motives ascribed to them personally.

Being on the receiving end of a lecture about some of the horrible things done to Black people carries an implication that I am either unaware or dismissive. This seems awfully necessary to respond to for the sake of my own reputation. Sure, I could let it go and trust that anybody else reading would see it as gas being dumped on the fire, but that doesn't seem prudent.
Cool, Judge Dredd.

I've done what you suggested in this paragraph, and do this as well. It means you can't use a personal iPad with Catalina's Sidecar feature, which just sucks knowing a second monitor is almost right there.

Grass is always greener. As a software engineer who works 100% remotely, I’m always jealous of engineering roles that involve hardware.
Rather than UBI, I think UBS (Universal Basic Services) is of far more significance. They’re not mutually exclusive.

The idea that you can give $X to everyone solves a lot of problem breaks down when the basic necessities are owned by capitalistic oligarchical corporations that resort to rent extortion.

Like US healthcare will suck in all the UBI money. It’s optimized to serve healthcare at the highest cost it can get away with.

Same with rents in most part of big cities. No new construction means money is sucked by the landlords who get ever wealthier.

The idea of universal basic services is that you can get access to most basic necessities within a reasonable capped price. Like electricity, water, cell internet connection, trash collection, groceries, transport, healthcare, education, basic housing etc.

So if the govt hands out $X00/month to every citizen, one can be guaranteed to receive the basics of their choice per their lifestyle.

As in money by itself doesn’t solve the problem, what you can buy with money solves the actual problems.
Hmm, my wife is ME and I'm SWE. She works from home but I can't.

Note I wouldn't want her job for anything. She has to deal with suppliers from all over the world, which means working ~24/6 (plus a seventh day to get her own work done). And has the generous "unlimited" vacation that translates as "no" vacation, unlike software companies that (generally) encourage you to take advantage of it. And makes midwest salary while living on west coast.
Ironically am sitting here waiting for some upstream fixes from a team on the other side of the planet before I can even start my work this week, it was meant to be done a few days ago.
Perhaps some things are more assembly line than you might imagine.
This is basically the same problem as the DNA computing thing and the memcomputing thing- it's kicking the exponential problem down the road.
I think the comparison is not between jquery and native Dom functions but between making something quickly with jquery compared to using angular or react for example
Sounds to me like a hardware problem for the two of you. My MBP is running Catalina and I can count on one hand the number of times it has crashed since I bought it 3 years ago (obviously not running Catalina back then).

Oh, and one of the times it crashed I distinctly recall setting it on the table too roughly and hearing a ping sound emanate from the closed laptop. When I opened the lid I saw the kernel panic screen. I'm chalking that one up to shock. It's been completely fine since though.

I strongly believe the nature of a society is best visualized through its traffic sense. Whether it's showing empathy, collaborating, cooperating, patience, discipline, following rules, the anything-will-do attitude, etc.

This is how Lisp gets you to think about code. Minimize side effects (essentially the same argument as immutable variables), and if you're likely to use something more than once, turn it into its own function. Then stick it into your private library if you're at all likely to see it again in the future.

Something that doesn't occur often enough, but should: then rewrite the function for various optimizations - speed, size, security, whatever, while ensuring the same input will always produce the same output.

And are you’re comparing primary energy to electricity? That’s a lot of waste heat that would not need to be replicated

Anyway, we don’t need all of this by 2030 if we have large scale electrification - that will have made a lot of CO2 savings in other sectors
Compilers are big, complex programs, which means they of course have bugs in them. If you think rustc is unstable because of a half-dozen regressions in the last release cycle, then gcc must seem to you to be a dangerously rickety piece of software:

https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/buglist.cgi?cf_known_to_fail_ty...

That query lists all regressions filed in the last 6 weeks, and there are nearly 150 of them.
> Working from home is incredibly bad for your mental health of course.

Why _of course_? Do you have any evidence to support that?
I'm sure both remote and office methodologies have their negatives on mental health.
During my career in IT the New York Times did a handful of articles involving either the small company I worked for or on some subject area I was heavily involved in. Each time I was amazed at the level of inaccuracies and misunderstandings the in the articles. Given that this happened in a small sample, it could be that these were unusual cases, but I highly doubt it. I have a feeling that this is all too common. Since then I look at mainstream media reporting with lots of skepticism.
Would not it be easier just to use 32-bit x86 arch instead of 64-bit? Pointer compression looks like a solution for a problem that should not exist in the first place. I saw the arguments against this in [1] but they look very weak ("We cannot use 32-bit arch because Chrome has switched to 64-bit and because there is an OS nobody is using that doesn't allow this").

Why not make 64-bit Chromium for those who has over 16 Gb of RAM and 32-bit for normal people?

This is great in idea but do seems like a gimmick. Do you honestly believe everyone on that road can read your sign posted in English ? I can judge this because I am from Bombay. After few min, crowd will just ignore the traffic light and take off. I really hope this works though ! Its insane how bay the noise pollution is.
Easy, you have a mandatory 2 week in office period for training and then move to off site. Whichever employee that will be training you will also come train you. The company can even pay for a coworking space that's in between or closer to trainer so they don't need to migrate for the training.
Why would switch be useful? The interpreter would still need to evaluate in order like if/elif/else.
Its bad if you don't have an active social life and/or are doing it exclusively from home.
The WFH arrangements mostly being discussed are more about working 1-2 days a week from home.

Many app developers are just people with some programming knowledge trying their luck into the app world, so plenty of engineering best practices never come into consideration.
The crime was boasting about it being legal. It made him public enemy number one.

I think history will judge him a lot less harshly than the current media cycle did.

Big pharma do this stuff for breakfast weekly and no one says a word nor been thrown in jail for years for it.
Not sure awesome is the word I'd use in these circumstances.
I didn’t upgrade: I created a new volume and installed a fresh Catalina on it. Honestly it’s been working great for me and the battery life increased (probably because my old install was… uhm… dusty)
Speaking of building on top of CPython, you can also go another route with compiling however crazy syntax you can come up with into its bytecode. See e.g. https://pyos.github.io/dg/

Speaking from way too much experience of time spent on Indian roads, being "afraid to honk" is generally not anywhere in the top 100 problems I'd identify.
While the "plant milkweed" is nice advice, I seem to remember that you have to plant a very specific species of milkweed. If you plant the wrong milkweed, you wind up killing the butterflies because they don't have enough energy for their migration.
When this happen do you literally just hang out waiting for that? Or do you work on other miscellaneous stuff in the mean time?
Read PiHKAL and TiHKAL.

These two books on phenylethylamines and tryptamines have a unique mixture of personal insight into the recreational use of psychedelics along with technical instructions from a chemist to recreate hundreds of these drugs.
Only if you are close to the road while it is currently running in the direction you want. Seems like a difficult thing to abuse.
For a lot of countries in the world, discussion of a hydrogen economy at any scale seems to be a bit of a hard sell. Barring sources like steam methane reformation from landfill-reclaimed methane, it's stuck between not being nearly as portable due to hydrogen embrittlement of storage container materials and ease of leak because of the small molecular size as traditional fossil fuels (albeit less C02 intensive), but a fair bit less efficient overall than just directly using the electricity.

That said, Germany's somewhat unique situation with regard to limited natural capacity for renewable energy means that that, in an argument for any degree of national energy independence, hydrogen could make sense if they can maintain some control the means of production and export.

The mention of using hydrogen in heavy industry is also interesting, and aligns with what I think of as a realistic stance. I used to work in the R&D section of a hydrogen fuel cell OEM, and one of the primary applications of hydrogen vs. batteries is in exactly the area stated: things that need quite a bit of consistent power generation, like buses or cranes or forklifts. Areas where recharge rate and up-time are really important, since available voltage doesn't drop with remaining energy capacity (you have the some available voltage until you stop supplying hydrogen to a fuel cell) and tanks can be refilled or swapped out more quickly than batteries.

I think it's also worth noting, that at least as far as I know, the tech for that sort of thing isn't years and years away on the energy-conversion side. The manufacturing capacity isn't exactly at scale yet, but because of the work put in by giants like Toyota and for specialty industries like refrigerated warehouses, I'd put the maturity of the fuel cells themselves closer to a TRL-7 or -8 than a TRL-2 or -3. It at least makes expectations seem more realistic than if the ministries were to say, "Well, we'll just hydrogen all the things!"
The funny thing though is that the "virtually anyone" part seems to me more likely to happen with python - or with any mainstream programming language - than with what seem to me like deeply arcane shell incantations.
Well India has far more lunatic traffic but far fewer per capita murders than the US. What’s the conclusion?
"The market works perfectly" isn't something you can say without defining what the market is supposed to do. If you consider "the market" to only have to care about itself and not any external effects it causes then sure, but that's like saying car owners don't have to worry about air pollution because it's "outside the car".

The market is intrinsically linked to its effects on the environment it's in and I would certainly consider its failure to account for that a failure. To put it in CS terms, if build a "world peace" gAI with a reward function that doesn't include "not killing humans" and it starts killing humans, the argument of "it's working perfectly" isn't really a useful one if you want to stay alive. Adding a negative term to the reward function is equivalent to marker regulation, yet while we have entire fields of study dedicated to the first, the latter is frowned upon.
So $1000 then on the above statement I was responding too? Am keen, there's numerous p2p betting marketplaces we can do this in.

Put your money where your non-contrarian mouth is if you are so sure, the media told you so it must be true right?
