If the companies society relies on are built on exploitation, maybe it's time to revisit the entire notion of exploitation and what it means. I feel exploited by my government because I put in much more than I receive but I have come to terms with it because it's necessary. Worse yet, I have much less choice in the matter than someone using Apple iPhones or Google Search or Amazon Prime.

Natural gas is not universally available and cheap. It is also tied to politics in Europe as much of their natural gas is from Russia.

To be clear, I'm not in love with coal; I'd much rather have a mostly solar powered grid, but I think it will be more expensive and complicated to get there than just "put some solar on it"

When solar wins some percent of the total market (20%?, 40%?; I don't know) then things get complicated. Immediately obvious is the fact that generation is tied to sunlight, so when it is dark out due to rain or nighttime or shortened seasons, grid capacity will be reduced.

There are other issues besides production though. Generators with great big spinning metal shafts currently (heh) control the frequency of alternating current power that we use in our homes. Direct Current Inverters can mimic the A/C sine wave, but it's not exactly the same.

It's great to have batteries or other storage, but will you have storage equivalent to 20 or 40% of grid capacity? Or will you have to make hard decisions about how to apportion energy?

Maybe you think everyone should have a home energy storage point? Sure, that's great. Do you think that should be mandatory or voluntary?

Think about the consequences of each of these decisions. Think about what you are asking your neighbors to do. Think about the goals of grid operators and how they might reach them.
This seems to get us right back to the current system however just “on a blockchain”
That's not right - it comes from the formula of power dissipation in an asic: P=CfV^2 (power equals capactiance times frequency times voltage squared).

Clearly we don't turn all the mosfets on every cycle but it's the rough idea.
How would you describe the "Canonical way of doing things"?
I was hoping that such an egregious case would merit at least an enforced slap on the wrist. I guess even the talk of insider trading did not change that outcome. This, along with other recent events, suggests that justice system is tiered. This does not bode well for the future of the republic.

This is an amusing truth in the industry. The VC's have given much of their money to "layer 1" blockchain projects that are supposed to have lots of application projects building on them.

But VC's aren't investing as much in application projects, since there often isn't a clear path to profitability with a decentralized application. A big reason for this is that the layer 1 blockchain will capture most of the value of the applications running on it (for a real life example of this, see Uniswap on Ethereum).

At the same time, the success of a layer 1 blockchain is judged by how many applications it has. So maybe one could argue that applications are valued more highly by VCs for enhancing the appearance of success of layer 1 blockchains than for their own sake.

This leads to the situation you portray, where it's sometimes easiest for a founder to get investment money from VCs that has first passed through the hands of a layer 1 project.
This doesn't sound like the worst way to reduce expensive reads of normalised data. Is the implication that it should have been solved with views, was incorrectly normalised, or that a document/key-value store should have been used other than Redis?

I've always thought it would make sense to have all the involved parties take a hit if a student loan can't be repaid.

For example, the loan could be split four ways. To qualify for discharging the remaining balance in bankruptcy, we could require that you've already paid at least 25%, the bank can eat 25%, the university can eat 25%, and Uncle Sam can cover the rest.

If we don't force all the parties to share some of the consequences, we're basically pushing universities to charge as much as possible, banks to lend as much as possible, and 18 year old kids to enter into lifetime contracts of potentially crippling debt.

The difference is AI and MR/AR/VR have use cases that aren't solved as well with classical methods. There isn't a single use case blockchain is better at than classical methods. Not one -- except for crime and heating up the planet. We've spent 12 years trying to find one.

"AI" is great at solving fuzzy matching and pattern inference, which opens up a world of interesting things. Image segmentation, image analysis, dynamic image infill, facial recognition, and so on can all benefit. Is it a be all and end all technology? Probably not, certainly not yet, but it's clearly, trivially and obviously superior for a certain problem domain.

Just because something happens "every 15 years on average" doesn't mean it happens on a 15 year clock and it certainly doesn't mean you can just throw a lawn dart and hit one in the face without using some logic, reasoning and due diligence.
“Another plausible factor is the push to privatization and contracting in the US public sector removing effective management from the picture, so that the public sector is no longer capable of cost control. “

This seems to be a big factor also in companies. My company’s IT department has outsourced a lot and so a lot of projects are managed by people who can’t judge if something is good or not. I have heard the same about government agencies. They have no experts left.

Hmm, I looked around on that post at all the parts referring to Nock and I still don't see anything that would convince an impartial reader of what you're saying.

Are you taking issue with the style/language the post is written in? I mean it does sound to me like someone a little too fascinated by their own ideas... —but I it seems too uncharitable to dismiss it because of that.

What I got from my quick skim is that the author was well aware of some similarity to combinatory logics, but intentionally took a different direction with Nock:

> Unlike the lambda calculus, Nock represents code as data, not data as code. This is because it is system software, not metamathematics. Its loyalties in this matter are not even slightly divided.

Or

> As you'll quickly see if you try this exercise, raw Nock is not a usable programming language. But nor is it an esoteric language or automaton, like SK combinators. Rather, Nock is a tool for defining higher-level languages - comparable to the lambda calculus, but meant as foundational system software rather than foundational metamathematics.

This sounds reasonable to me. I don't know if Nock successfully fulfills this claim, but without assuming the author is just straight up lying about this stuff, it seems like, "Any combinatory logic would do the trick" is probably not accurate.

Yes but the point of that post is that the hiring manager is looking for a candidate who places honesty first, and that said honesty is also a signal for placing the needs of the team / org first (to a degree, obviously).

"One hand for the ship, one hand for yourself." I.E. one hand to do the ship's work, one to hold on to the railing so you don't fall off. Two hands for the ship, and you're not looking out for yourself. Two hands for yourself, and why would the ship want to keep you?
Seems sorta reasonable that if you need a manager for every 6-8 engineers, you would end up with a lot of managers.
I am in total agreement with what you've just said. Basically it all comes down to programmer being either smart or stupid. OOP on its own has nothing to do with the overall complexity and where it is "moved". Shitty programmer will fuck things up no matter paradigm. And good programmer can use various paradigms to their advantage depending on particular situation. But no. From what I see we have crusaders here.
That's a very good question, one I've been thinking about a lot. The current implementation, has even distribution. Even changing it to normal distribution would greatly improve this. Not certain yet how to achieve this, however.

I remember back in the days of the iPhone 3G(s?) there was an attempt at a battery-powered dongle that could re-jailbreak a phone in the field in case of a reboot.

Glad you asked! If you do the Django tutorial after clicking "try now", you can see an example of a postgres database that gets set up for every run.

Since we give full VMs instead of just containers, you can keep the database running in the background. Because we do memory snapshotting, you could turn a 5 minute database start + migrate + populate into a 1 second "restore from memory snapshot"
Hey Vageli,

Thanks for your question. I wish our website was clearer :), but we’re working on that!

When Truework gets a request for data on you from a third-party we send you a notification to know whether or not you want to share your data with that third-party.

If you refuse, we will not share that data. It’s different from the current model that our competitors use, which is to just share right away.
problem with those frameworks that "just works" is that they get old pretty darn fast.

it handles all your sql and auth cookies? too bad now there's an easy way every script kiddie can now login as admin or guess cookies without the security header du jour.

It's all nice and all when it's being actively updated. But arc, rails, phoenix-ecto, node/react, drupal, spring, etc it all get old pretty soon when the core maintainers loose focus, and then instead of just keeping an eye on the latest best practices and implementing it yourself, you have to dive deep down into years of feature creep and bad coding practices to do the little thing you need to keep things going.

In addition to just frightening people away from attending college, we could do some real things to make the skilled trades attractive to more people:

1. Real workplace safety laws with real enforcement

2. Better health care

3. Better safety net, including retirement

4. Stronger unions

5. Free continuous retraining

From time to time, I hire tradespeople to work around my house -- roofing, tree service, installing a sliding door, new Internet service, a new furnace, etc. One thing I've noticed is that the guys who are my age -- mid 50's -- are hobbling and broken. Many of them work for smaller businesses, as independent contractors, or in situations where they are conveniently "exempt" from things like health care, unemployment, etc.

At the smaller businesses where they work, regulatory enforcement is probably minimal to nonexistent. I would guess that abuse of wage and overtime laws is probably rampant.

Much of the work is seasonal.

Much of it is at the mercy of the construction cycle.

Many of the trades are in businesses that are largely family owned, which puts non family members at a severe disadvantage at finding jobs and advancing beyond the entry level.

So, don't just cite some anecdotes, or throw starting wages around, but take a deep look into what the working class deals with in the US, and start making changes.

Have you ever implemented a programming language before? You are relying a lot on "quick skims" and the POV of an "impartial reader", i.e. someone who does not know the domain. It's much easier to see through the bullshit if you're familiar with PL.

> Unlike the lambda calculus, Nock represents code as data, not data as code. This is because it is system software, not metamathematics. Its loyalties in this matter are not even slightly divided.

This does not mean anything.

> But nor is it an esoteric language or automaton, like SK combinators. Rather, Nock is a tool for defining higher-level languages - comparable to the lambda calculus, but meant as foundational system software rather than foundational metamathematics.

This is hilarious considering Nock is, in fact, esoteric. SK combinators are also very comparable to lambda calculus, and it's not clear what "foundational system software" even means in the context of a combinatory logic just like SK combinators. And why would Nock be any good at "defining higher level languages"? Keep in mind that their idea of "higher level languages" includes Hoon, another esoteric language.

You skimmed it quickly and didn't see anything that jumped out to you as wrong. That's a good explanation for how a cup and ball game like Urbit got as many users as it did: you need a bit of specialized knowledge to see that it's full of hot air.
I think the "cloud" is helping to make it seamless to go from iPad to desktop to phone with one work item (like a report for work), but it's not quite there yet, I agree.

Great comparisons. I'm not familiar with these, so would you mind spelling out why you think those worked?
They’re basically factory overclocked.

Intel has been backed into a corner by AMD, so they’re pushing clockspeed over balancing against TDP and bus.

Also, the multi-year delays in the next process shrink gave them lots of time to improve yields and micro-optimize the fabrication generation these are running on.
Rural regions get their fair share of wins.

E.g., the massive amount of money that is redirected from productive cities into relatively unproductive rural counties, many of which subsist on jobs that would not exist without superfluous military bases, over-incarceration, massive farm subsidies, or, yes, branch campuses of state university systems. This happens at the state level too. Many of our state’s rural school districts are almost entirely funded by redistributed taxes. Because their local populations won’t even pass no-tax-increase no-debt-load-increase bond issues to fix roofs.

Hopefully work from home will take off and rural communities/states will find a way to become more productive.

> the ultimate performance of a cooling solution is how fast you can move heat into the working fluid and how fast the radiator can move it out of the working fluid.

Really, it’s all to do with how fast the heat can be permanently ejected from the system, almost always as heated air.

Analogised to a storage array, metal heat sinks and water reservoirs are a high performance write cache. Brilliant for bursty loads but once the cache is filled they don’t improve sustained performance.

wl, you summarized pretty well how it works indeed :-). A lot of players in the industry hides behind long legal documents.

In our case we get employee information from your employer but it’s never shared to third-parties by default. We always go through the process of notification to the employee before releasing any data and, as an employee, you can refuse to share that data. The requester is in a holding pattern until you consent to data sharing.

Hope that helps
If the functions are exported, the compiler wouldn't be able to optimize calls. Dynamic modules and hotloading means there's no expectation that what you had when compiling is what you're running against in production.

If they're in the same compilation unit, the newer SSA based optimizer might do some cool stuff for you; it's always interesting to look at the optimized code that comes out of compiling/loading.

In general though, I would tend not to worry about efficiency of passing a map instead of traditional arguments. Most likely there's other, bigger, things to worry about; usually finding the right communications patterns and algorithms makes a bigger difference.
Not if you consider it's whole row in the DB!
Why volunteer the information if it isn't asked for, though? I would wager that most companies doing background checks just have you sign a blanket statement that says "our third party checking company may look at these things:...."

What you said about daily data is precisely what makes stock mkt so interesting and challenging : nonstationarity.

It's a spectrum. You can already use (some) WinRT features on desktop/console win32 apps, even unsandboxed[0].

You can use UWP XAML in win32 desktop apps with a sandbox, and you'll probably be able to use it without a sandbox when WinUI 3 comes out (currently in early preview, they'll probably have a couple sessions about it at Build)

[0] some APIs require your app to have an identity though, and you need the sandbox for that
