Common Mistakes in Dev Resumes
In response to claims of progress and efficiency, constantly claiming it is done via smoke and mirrors, with what appear to be extreme examples, seems like a good way to be left behind, because it implies there's nothing to learn from others, which is always false.

That’s what they want you to think, but there aren’t enough byproducts to satisfy energy demands.
Your analysis wrt deaths completely ignores intermittency. Overbuilding is a good solution esp when combined with battery or pumped storage but note that that would also necessarily increase material costs and human costs vs nuclear and geothermal. The momentum for both is good but again until we get that be 3-4 orders of magnitude improvement in scale required to do without gas. Until then having a mixed portfolio with greater emphasis on nuclear and geothermal will be a better option.

HVDC grids are also great but IMO less often considered are the risks of relying on continental grids so much such as the increased susceptibility to brittle failure at a system level and vulnerability as a soft target to economic terrorism/hybrid war.

Again, blindly extrapolating from immediate is not helpful. The same logic caused half of HN to claim that datacenters wouldn't use HDD/Tape anymore because SSDs would be so much cheaper than everything else because moore's. And that's before considering Elon's egregious track record and obvious conflict of interest.
Yes, there are BEPs that describe not announcing or accepting connections in certain circumstances. There are also peer discovery mechanisms that are designed to work on local networks. Of course none of this matters if you mess up (and someone externally cares enough to take your data), or if your client doesn't support any of this stuff.

I remember asking this question on agda subreddit a while ago (maybe 3 years ago? I don't know) and they told me it's not possible. However, they implemented Cubical type theory and a few other stuff (universe levels? Has it been implemented last couple years?) so maybe it's possible now.m

I love doing algebra proofs with agda as a hobby but I'm by no means, even remotely, experienced in everything agda capable of.

Snir David writes well. One point that I think is missed in the "chats and video calls" is that you don't have situational awareness of whether the other person is busy like you do in person.

It's the same as the problem with taking phone calls when driving a car as compared to talking to people who are in the car with you. The people in the car with you can see when you're in a tricky traffic situation. The caller, not so much.

Consoles are very different from phones. Consoles sell at a loss and make the money back in sales. The 30% cut to the console makers goes towards paying for the lower price of hardware. Google and Apple do not sell phones below cost.

The certification process for consoles is also a lot tougher and more expensive.

hot, yes, and another important factor being: fun!

the combination is anomalous in SF since the demographics do not select for it, so the evolutionary pressures are non-existent.

but here and everywhere you see them on dating apps and they don't see you at all and won't respond to you at all on the gram as this is their way of passively increasing their follower count and engagement. But when you show up with a lot of the thing they value? It is disingenuous to find this perplexing. Its wealth, social proof, and ingenuity in a tough market all in one. This has been attractive to our species for a very long time.

The profiles can be about anything even scantily clad women (maybe not actual memes though, but maybe), and they don't even know what I look like and they come through at least to the cafe. No different than any other date, just all the exceptions you ever wished for, and with fun and hot people that otherwise ignored you. Its more about getting a response than anything and recognizing that you are incapable of being the strangest or most precarious circumstance that many women have ever been in, just offer and invite. You are already rich, in followers, and recognize that this is a currency, just like they do.
Often the bad salary is why something sucks, but raising it isn't enough to fix the problems that salary stagnation caused.
People are so focused on $$ when it comes to (green or other) energy. The real problem is not $$ but Joules. Building any type of a power plant costs energy itself, and unfortunately unlike capital, which is just a concept that you can argue with and win, there is absolutely no arguing with physics:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energy_return_on_investment#ER...

The energy amortisation time of green power generators (the time it takes to pay back the Joules) is orders of magnitude higher than any dirty energy. This problem is well visible once you count all of the world's energy usage and just plot it. The rollout is anything but fast:

Google Authenticator is not tied to your account. Unless you lose your phone at the same time (or have remote wipe enabled and someone who gets your Google account wipes it), your Gmail account is not tied to access to Authenticator.

You should also backup authenticator codes on paper in a safe place.

> The United States can deliver 90 percent clean, carbon-free electricity nationwide by 2035, dependably, at no extra cost to consumer bills and without the need for new fossil fuel plants, according to a study released today from the Center for Environmental Public Policy at the University of California, Berkeley. The study also finds that without robust policy reforms, most of the potential to reduce emissions and increase jobs would not be realized. 2035 Report: Plummeting Solar, Wind, and Battery Costs Can Accelerate Our Clean Energy Future is the first study of its kind to show how recent cost declines for solar, wind, and battery storage allow the U.S. to dramatically reduce generation and emissions from existing fossil power plants, while retiring coal and reducing gas generation by 70 percent.
Bro. While technically true, $99/year is actually less than nothing if you really think about it.

Edit: do the math -- $99/year x 1 developer account versus even $1 for the app for a modest number of users. you're dealing with a fixed price versus a scaling factor.
“Cancel culture” is making it worse for everyone. Say or do the wrong thing on social media at any point in time in history and you can lose everything.

Social media has become a groupthink bent toward disorder. I just pick up on a lot more hostility than I remember from even 10 years ago.

That pretty much going the opposite. The Euro is in real trouble, the pound can't because the UK economy is too small, and no one trust china with any power.
I see your point, but I believe your goal is to be visible, not invasive. You are trying to help people along a path that they want to be on, not force people on a path that doesn't feel right to them.

For me, texting is a path I won't walk. Email is a path I walk multiples time a day. Talk to me there, I'll see it, it will be injected into my life.

If old people have been criticizing young people for acting dumb for thousands of years, maybe that means old people are always wrong, or maybe it means young people always tend to act dumb.

I think a lot of old people look back on their youth, realize they were dumb, then look at the contemporary youth and see that they're dumb too. Those youth eventually mature, see that they were once dumb, and see that contemporary youth are still dumb. This hypothesis doesn't preclude a general trend of progress; rather it says something about the biological development of human brains. Despite what our modern laws might say, 18 year olds typically still have a lot of growing up to do. There's plenty of evidence that suggests brain development continues well into one's mid 20s.

Harvard has the same curriculum as Penn State honors. Instagram lives are fabulous and fake. Wantrepreneurs start shell companies to put on their resume.

It's all down to our increasing ability to satisfy human material needs. Instead of allocating stuff so people can survive, the economy allocates status so people can be popular. It's an economy of likes rather than an economy of needs.

Not just that, you have to melt coal with quartz to produce the silicon for the solar panels. The entire process relies on fossil fuels. The energy and environmental ROI is probably actually negative/worse than just using the fossil fuels themselves.

https://spectrum.ieee.org/green-tech/solar/solar-energy-isnt...

It’s an illusion that renewables are replacing fossil fuels. The amount or renewables isn’t even replacing the amount of energy that demand is growing by, so we rely more and more on fossil fuels even as more “renewables” are trotted out as a distraction. This is just a sham death cult because people can’t accept reality. Conservatives have religion and liberals have technology they hope will save them. We are a species in denial.

How to Focus Your Brain
If I recall correctly they had different tiers back when this was a MAC only developer requirement (before iPhone).

I was a student and signed up to tinker for about $99/year under that tier for access to xCode (and they sent me a free t-shirt for every new version of OSX.

I think you could spend a lot more money for a full enterprise dev account.

Not that I fault Apple for trying to profit from this creation of theirs but the ambiguity and lack of standardized enforcement is problematic.

This is actually fairly significant.

As a point of comparison, in 2019, Apple did about 50 billion in sales [1], which means they made about $15 billion

In 2018 (latest I could find numbers for) they reportedly had 20 million registered developers [2] so that's another $2 billion. That's 3.5% of their 2019 net income of $55 billion [3] (of course there are costs to running the app store, distribution, etc that aren't accounted for in here).

It makes me think of Costco -- whose membership fees make up nearly all their net income [4]. Don't make money from the thing, make money from enabling access to the thing -- well or I guess in Apple's case, make money from both.

HN is very actively moderated, so I think it might be able to exist. And presumably things like comment sections would generate “consequences” similar to radio stations that pay relatively small fines when live guests on air say “indecent” things.

I think it’s possible that Facebook and Twitter, etc. could not exist under that threat of legal liability. A few years ago I would have said that was unbearable, but now I’m not so sure. The flat earthers and anti-vaxxers of the world worry me. I don’t think they should be prohibited from speech by any stretch, but Facebook and Twitter engagement algorithms lead to echo chambers that amplify radicalism and research has shown how that directly leads to an increasingly angry, divided, polarized citizenry.

It’s one thing if we are angry and divided about truth. It’s another if entire cohorts of the population no longer believe in objective reality because the Facebook algorithm serves them a never ending stream of anti-vax untruth. And much worse the hate groups that lead to “doxing” and worse.

I don’t know what the appropriate answer is, but I don’t think that the status quo is trending in the direction of a better future for humanity, and I think it’s good for us to be asking tough questions and possibly reconsidering whether some of the newer technologies like social media are, on aggregate, worth the harm they cause.

Name of the project: Project Gemstone (Placeholder)

Elevator pitch: Another Linux distribution built from scratch. However I would like it to be a testing ground for technologies from other distros and put them into a more DevOpsy and server / embedded focused distribution. Think of Clear OS, CoreOS (Pre-RH purchase), Alpine Linux, and NixOS / GUIX.

Site/repo link: https://github.com/project-gemstone

Note: It's somewhat bare, there has been few commits lately as I've been working on a new bootstrapping process to get a running system in a private repo. (If you have indepth knowledge of cross compile toolchains that would be a big help!)

Tech/languages: shell / bash, make, C, Go

Expected level of proficiency in the stack: intermediate to expert

Help needed: More than anything I would like some interested parties who are interested in creating a linux system from scratch in different architectures and like the idea of being apart of a project that's creating a new distro.

Best way to contribute: Docs to code or issues relating to bootstrapping.
