Thanks for the insights! I agree that baking is a good gateway.

I think it would be even more persuasive if you could come up with some calculations, to show how much CO2 can be saved individually and collectively by following the recommendations.
I'm kind of interested to see what bfloat16 sounds like (for audio DSP). I'd expect it to be good enough for a large number of algorithms so long as they are properly stable, and if we have decent performance and reduced power use, i'm all for that!

Buying enough 16tb drives for an efficient raid array is an expensive way to save money.

Something that's easy to overlook with larger drives is that their rebuild times are worse.

"Shucking" drives throws the economics way off even if it means having to do some hacks and losing warranty... Usually the drives that come in enclosures are smaller.
It appears that the motivation behind the concept of portals was to eliminate perceptively slow page transitions, and allow a developer to create a multi-page experience that behaves like a single-page app.

Given this motivation, portals are a single solution to two problems. In my mind, it would make more sense to divide the concept, and create two separate, complementary features:

1. A way to eliminate perceptively slow page transitions, perhaps with an approach like turbolinks: https://github.com/turbolinks/turbolinks . Require minimal changes to existing markup, and allow <a> to use the new, more-seamless page transitions.

2. A new UI element that is like a modern take on the iframe: the <portal>.
Very immature, just have a look at its extensive absent documentation. The best bit that describes the state of things: "If you're a programmer or fairly technical, you can probably get it up and running and get some utility out of it".

So much to show off for 7 years of development, I'm pretty skeptical of its future. But some of the ideas are pretty cool, like composable blob servers.
> The comment tried by introducing "strokes" to distract from the topic: dexamethasone which helps intubated patients.

The comment is about what causes strokes: Is it the virus itself, or the cytokine storm? If it is the virus itself, that would be rather unique. The comment argues that it is the cytokine storm.

This is relevant because there is a hypothesis that COVID-19 is uniquely dangerous because the virus itself directly attacks organs and causes strokes.

Furthermore, if Dexamethasone helps with the cytokine storms and the cytokine storms cause strokes/organ damage, it only follows that it also helps with the strokes/organ damage.

Therefore, nothing in the comment suggests that Dexamethasone wouldn't help patients, regardless of age. To the contrary. You appear to be fighting windmills.
These days curl should probably default to https. Or at least give you an environmental variable where you can define the default protocol (libcurl does offer something similar: https://curl.haxx.se/libcurl/c/CURLOPT_DEFAULT_PROTOCOL.html)
You would have to read up on the science of anaesthesiology for a full understanding. I'll describe just a few of the subtleties I've encountered. About two decades back, I was a medical researcher who did all the vetinary qualifications for animal research including general anaesthesia, all the different types of analgesics and dissociatives, and I subsequently spent a few months working with mice and injectable liquid anaesthetics.

You're playing a fine balance between keeping the animal under, and killing it. You have to continually observe and balance the degree of anaesthesia which you can test with pain reflexes and core reflexes, and adjust the dosage accordingly. Too much and you depress the core functions to the point breathing stops. Too little and the animal retains consciousness along with pain reflexes. With larger animals you can use similar equipment to what you would use with humans. Small ones require direct physical observation.

There's a simple dosage rule: n ml anaesthetic per gram bodyweight. So you would weigh the mouse, calculate the dose and then inject it. Sounds easy enough.

Not so. It also depends upon the percentage of fat tissue. If the mouse is fat, the fat tissue will absorb the anaesthetic and then slowly release it. This changes the dynamics of how fast the anaesthetic takes effect, and how deep and how long lasting the anaesthesia will be. Skinny mice would go under almost immediately. Fat mice might take 10 minutes. But if you topped up the dose, you would risk the dosage reaching fatal levels a few minutes down the line as the fat tissue released its stored anaesthetic. You would learn to adapt the formula by experience, but this is just one factor to consider.

Now imagine how difficult this is with obese human patients. Or anorexic patients. Or sick patients. Patients on various drugs. Or patients with different metabolic rates. There are dozens of factors, making each case unique. Anaesthesiologists have a huge responsibility, and taking great care and skill to keep their patients alive. We think of this as routine, and it is, but that doesn't make it simple or easy to do. This stuff looks simple on paper. Doing it in practice is far, far more difficult and demanding.

A Fun Programming Riddle
I think that's a part of it but there's also the question of how they interface with everyone else. IME a lot of these teams end up working in isolation from everyone else. And the patronage of the team usually makes them somewhat untouchable or unquestionable.
Actually, without subsidies, it's around $3500 / month for a family and that's with a $5k - $10k deductible. I have a collegue that retired after inheriting a lot of money and that's what he pays for health insurance.

Most small business owners that I take care of are on their spouse's insurance.

If Americans don't think that the cost of health insurance is destroying entrepreneurship, they're idiots. For example, if you're single and want to open your own garage to fix cars, you may have to compete with the shop down the road that doesn't worry about insurance bc they're on their spouses. So that shop has $3500 a month less costs than yours.
I don't have any metrics to back this up, but I would assume most websites that use these third-party login systems, still pull down your email address and create an account for you based on that. So it stands to reason, you if you used the same email for all Facebook, Google, Apple, you could sign in with any of them and maintain one account.

I suppose that's a huge assumption, but that's how I would do it if I was developing against them. That said, it doesn't help w/ the "Hide my Email" or the default icloud.com email addresses people don't realize they're using.

Roald Dahl recounts this in his book 'Boy'

> I have only one unpleasant memory of the summer holidays in
Norway. We were in the grandparents’ house in Oslo and my mother
said to me, “We are going to the doctor this afternoon. He wants to
look at your nose and mouth.”

> I think I was eight at the time. “What’s wrong with my nose and
mouth?” I asked.
“Nothing much,” my mother said. “But I think you’ve got
adenoids.”
“Don’t worry about it,” she said. “It’s nothing.”
I held my mother’s hand as we walked to the doctor’s house. It
took us about half an hour. There was a kind of dentist’s chair in the
surgery and I was lifted into it. The doctor had a round mirror
strapped to his forehead and he peered up my nose and into my
mouth. He then took my mother aside and they held a whispered
conversation. I saw my mother looking rather grim, but she nodded.

> The doctor now put some water to boil in an aluminum mug over
a gas flame, and into the boiling water he placed a long thin shiny
steel instrument. I sat there watching the steam coming off the boiling
water. I was not in the least apprehensive. I was too young to realize
that something out of the ordinary was going to happen.
Then a nurse dressed in white came in. She was carrying a red rubber
apron and a curved white enamel bowl. She put the apron over the
front of my body and tied it around my neck. It was far too big. Then
she held the enamel bowl under my chin. The curve of the bowl fitted
perfectly against the curve of my chest.
The doctor was bending over me. In his hand he held that long
shiny steel instrument. He held it right in front of my face, and to this
day I can still describe it perfectly. It was about the thickness and
length of a pencil, and like most pencils it had a lot of sides to it.
Towards the end, the metal became much thinner, and at the very end
of the thin bit of metal there was a tiny blade set at an angle. The
blade wasn’t more than a centimeter long, very small, very sharp and
very shiny.

> “Open your mouth,” the doctor said, speaking Norwegian.
I refused. I thought he was going to do something to my teeth,
and everything anyone had ever done to my teeth had been painful.
“It won’t take two seconds,” the doctor said. He spoke gently,
and I was seduced by his voice. Like an ass, I opened my mouth.
The tiny blade flashed in the bright light and disappeared into
my mouth. It went high up into the roof of my mouth. It went high up
into the roof of my mouth, and the hand that held the blade gave four
or five very quick little twists and the next moment, out of my mouth
into the basin came tumbling a whole mass of flesh and blood.
I was too shocked and outraged to do anything but yelp. I was
horrified by the huge red lumps that had fallen out of my mouth into
the white basin and my first thought was that the doctor had cut out
the whole of the middle of my head.

>“Those were your adenoids,” I heard the doctor saying.

> ...

> That was in 1924, and taking out a child’s adenoids, and often
the tonsils as well, without any anesthetic was common practice in
those days.

They're charging "ad valorem" -- relative to the value received. The value that a Substack user with 4000 subscribers receives isn't the same as what someone with 50 subscribers receives. This is a very common fee structure that exists across industries.
Tcl and various scheme dialects were popular, but they have a pretty unusual syntax, at least when viewed from a typical C/Algol-ish programmer. Lua just came at the right time and place and was more "usual" than that, also with a pretty small package and permissive license.

And I would say that this argument still holds true. For extending a game or application, I'd feel pretty bad forcing people to use JS, for example (unless it's EE, where the gloves are off). Wren might be an option, but it's certainly a lot less proven.

Also, there's LuaJIT, if you really need some performance in a small package.

StackOverflow might not be the best source for end-user scripting. (Never mind that I have my doubts about any statistic where Rust ends up winning the popularity contest.)
Hi everyone!

I'm the author of this project. I wrote it because I was very curious about physics simulation, and also because I wanted a reason to study a few libraries that I had never worked with like Qt.

> systemic student and other debt

The student debt problem is due to student loans not being dischargeable in bankrupty; this is certainly not something Hayek argued for.

>by monopolistic privatised healthcare

The cost of healthcare is to a significant degree driven by artificial limitations on the supply of doctors due to the government granting the AMA a monopoly on deciding who gets to be a doctor (and artificially limiting the number of medical places per year). This is also not something Hayek supported.

>fraud/boom/bust cycle that has replaced real game-changing technological progress

A lot of people would disagree that there has been less technological progress in the past decade or two than in earlier time periods. Even a decade ago, it was unthinkable that a machine could beat a human at Go.

I don't think they're off the mark with linking the reckless exuberance about this post to anti-China sentiment. Distrust and outright hostility has grown substantially over the past 18 months, particularly on reddit. It's a mix of anger at Hong Kong protests/crackdown, fears of espionage (particularly involving Huawei), and mistrust with COVID-19.

There was a huge shift in reddit's demeanor (and uses of "fuck China/fuck the CPC" etc) once the Hong Kong protests got going. COVID-19 (and its associated conspiracy theories) seems to be what brought that sentiment more mainstream.
This happens all the time when you get stuff made. It's generally good and useful, but the real challenge is in getting these changes documented, and getting the changes verified against the original specification. The Hyatt Regency walkway collapse was a good example of this going wrong: while the original design was flawed, the fact that it wasn't easily manufactured meant it then got modified, and even though the builder discussed the changes with the designers, the designers did not check that their original calculations still applied and as a result the structure was substantially weakened and collapsed.

Also, making sure this process for exists and is documented precisely is one of the reasons medical devices are so expensive.

Covid-induced precautionary saving in the US
In Norway, it is still illegal for stores to refuse cash. I know of only one store that does get away with it; I believe they do because they are primarily an online shop. Their physical store is merely a convenience for customers who happen to live nearby. Many (most?) stores still ask customers to pay with a card, though. To help out, the banks have raised the maximum amount payable by contactless cards without PIN entry.
Impolite, combative and witty is fine, and there's plenty of that among progressives. It's the step towards destructive and burning all bridges, that I don't like. I also believe in democracy, and want a society that works for everybody, and not just a small in-crowd. Maybe it's because I'm not as young as I was in my punk days. But it's also that I care more about results than about ideological purity. Compromises are unavoidable. Nobody can have exactly everything they want, because you're not the only person in the world, and we've got to do this together.
Heh.

OK, I concede, I gave in to a tiny trollette there.

I've been using *nix professionally since 1989. I work for a Linux vendor. I know my way around.

But for the last 25 years, I've mainly worked with Linux. I quite like Linux, although it's getting a bit long in the tooth and bloated these days.

But what strikes me every time that I try any of the BSDs is how little they have learned from Linux and what has made Linux so successful.

Linux natively uses PC partitioning. BSD doesn't; you have to install into special BSD "disk slices" which must be in a primary partition. (I confess I have not tried on a UEFI box yet. I am sure GPT changes this, but I don't know how.)

Linux natively uses the PC keyboard and framebuffer. It adapts to my screen size. It uses colours. BSD doesn't. I still see '80s nonsense like ^H sometimes.

Linux usually detects and uses all my hardware. Even on quite recent kit, I've had BSD not recognise my network card, or my wifi adaptor, or whatever.

Linux feels like a native OS on PCs and handles PC hardware gracefully. BSD, to me, doesn't - it feels like a 1970s minicomputer OS, reluctantly running on an alien platform.

I started out on SCO Xenix 286 on an IBM PC-AT, when that was still fairly modern kit. FreeBSD doesn't feel much more advanced than that, and NetBSD and OpenBSD are worse.

That is what I am getting at.

There have been multiple efforts to incorporate some of the nice bits of OS X over the years, notably NeXTBSD. They failed completely. It seems to me that the BSD folks don't want nasty new tech. If it worked 50 years ago, it's still good enough.
