> The "fancy coffee" craze was just a blip on the radar in the mid 90's but gaining momentum.

Friends premiered in 1994, with The Central Perk being a major set piece of the show. I mean, yeah, its New York City and not North Carolina, but college towns anywhere are going to be early in trends.

A latte in 1994 seems plausible to me. I remember getting them from a Gloria Jeans in my local suburban mall around 1990 or so.

You're not wrong about the shape of the trajectory, but all throughout the 80s the coffee shop/latte trend was slowly building steam (heh) before it went hockey stick in the mid-90s.
You are not exactly 'covering the landscape'. See https://www.withouthotair.com/c24/page_161.shtml for some of the math for the example of Britain.

See the calculation starting on this page https://www.withouthotair.com/c24/page_166.shtml

> Land use

> Let’s imagine that Britain decides it is serious about getting off fossil fuels,
and creates a lot of new nuclear reactors, even though this may not
be “sustainable.” If we build enough reactors to make possible a significant
decarbonization of transport and heating, can we fit the required
nuclear reactors into Britain? The number we need to know is the power per unit area of nuclear power stations, which is about 1000W/m2 (figure
24.10). Let’s imagine generating 22 kWh per day per person of nuclear
power – equivalent to 55 GW (roughly the same as France’s nuclear
power), which could be delivered by 55 nuclear power stations, each occu-
pying one square kilometre. That’s about 0.02% of the area of the country.
Wind farms delivering the same average power would require 500 times as
much land: 10% of the country. If the nuclear power stations were placed
in pairs around the coast (length about 3000 km, at 5 km resolution), then
there’d be two every 100 km. Thus while the area required is modest, the
fraction of coastline gobbled by these power stations would be about 2%
(2 kilometres in every 100).

The book also has sections about the economics of clean up. About fast breeder reactors and thorium designs.

Seems to me that MasterClass is basically the Great Courses except much slicker and is funded by venture vultures. We'll see how long they will last until it get ruined.

Beside, I don't really care if the company is really selling X or Y. Clearly, their product contain real valuable knowledge.

However, if you're in the pursuit of knowledge, just watching it will likely result in jack-squat retention. I know this because I watched a whole lecture about the industrial revolution, and can't retain anything beyond the basic overview, if at that.

Master Class appears to have workbooks and exercises, so retention are going to be much better than one of the series in the Great Courses.

Still, 90% of the value is gained by learners doing the work and putting in the time.
> The only improvement is if you somehow directly exchange keys with the vendor out of band with no web pki intermediate step and then verify the signature on the software you're installing... yeah.

Which is what Apt has done for 20+ years - packages are gpg-signed, developers sign with their individual keys (and have to have their identity verified by at least one other developer) and even someone who controls a root CA (which is most national governments and many large corporations, let's be fair) would have to mount a dedicated attack to subvert that process.

Nope because nuclear fuel energy density is 2000000x higher than all chemicals the land footprint is tiny. Like 450x less than wind total system.

Nuclear can load follow but chooses not to for economics reasons. Markets are human constructs and can be adjusted as needed. Also nuclear works fine with all forms of energy storage.
means it is used in big enterprises and shown success ?

New JavaScript code generator in Idris 2
The CPU and the von Neumann architecture itself is procedural. High level code is mapped to assembly code, which is then mapped to binary machine code.

Given that, then higher level languages are merely another layer of abstraction. C is procedural, and while it can be functionally separated, it still maps down to assembly, and then to machine code.

Same goes for Lisp, or Haskell, or any other functional language. It still follows the chain down, and maps to assembly and machine code.

Given that, then what is the ability for a purely functional language, like Haskell, or whatnot, to utilize the full feature of today’s multi-core CPUs?

For example, a common functional approach, is to use a map() function, and apply a specific function, against a set of data. Say, you have a list of 1000 strings, and you want to capitalize it all, and return the new list of all capitalized strings. Then, you’d have another function called upper() that will apply to each element in that list.

So, your function call might look something like:

capped_list = map( upper, my_list )

And your return data, capped_list, will contain the list of all strings, capitalized. Simple enough.

So, the question is, do functional languages automatically have the ability to take this instruction, and spread the data over multiple cores, or multiple processors, in order to return the final answer, in a faster or more efficient process than a regular procedural language?
Taking power away from the users and putting it in the hands of upstream maintainers is pretty bad, but putting it in the hands of distro maintainers is even worse in my experience. Upstream maintainers are at least the people who develop the software directly and deal with the bug reports.

But... we are having issues right now? People aren't acting because there's no economic incentive, it is only in part due to denial or ignorance. Many of the world's leaders who have to power to shift the narrative are not doing so because it would be a short term economic loss and businesses aren't happy about it.

I mean, many technologies like carbon scrubbers already exist. Why aren't businesses buying them?

This is something we need to decide as a society to act on out of pure good faith, there will not be any profit to be made from the sacrifices that need to take place. People need to come to terms with just... being kinder. It would help if world leaders created jobs for this industry on a budget deficit and helped people get into those jobs.

> Is there anything at all that won't?

Yes. Decline in stock prices or real estate for example.

> People with fewer resources have fewer options in dealing with new challenges, this seems like a fundamental fact.

Yes, that's almost true by definition.

Even in my examples, in general the people who start out rich will still be better off after a stock market crash than the people who started out poor.

Look on the bright side though: by symmetry any disaster averted or condition improved also helps the vulnerable more.
I feel like almost everyone that uses Equinox gets it free from their job. Which is precisely why the prices are so high. I got free Equinox with one of my previous jobs, but honestly, the gym wasn't that great. Maybe the luxury of the locations vary, though.

It's not more nasty than storing some kinds of heavy metals or other chemicals.

Mercury never stops being nasty mercury. It doesn't have a half-life.

Certain technologies, like fast breeder reactors, significantly reduce the volume of radioactive garbage coming out of your nuclear reactors at the end, because they re-use fuel multiple times.
> All of these people who would otherwise have less/no money are now spending that printed money to purchase goods like food, thus driving inflation higher.

This assumes those goods are a scarce resource, so that increased consumption eventually leads to shortage. I can't quote sources, but my understanding is that we have enough food to feed everyone ATM, and any remaining hunger is just a failure of the economy to solve the distribution of currency.

Nope. Most natural gas is produced by fracking; the fracking process produces great amounts of excess methane which is released into the atmosphere; fracked natural gas is approximately as bad as, or may even be worse than, coal.
Most countries have state-enforced debt collection instead of private enforcement like in USA.
Say that 100k truckers making 50k a year lost their jobs to self driving trucks, which cost 10k year. If the government paid those people 40k a year the demand and purchasing power for food would not change for those 100k people.
That's a bit weird? If everyone was expecting higher prices, why didn't speculators make the prices go up already?
This is a great essay, but it doesn’t give me much hope for the US. Our behavior during this pandemic has been for one part of the country to finger wag and disbelieve while the other part suffers, while doing very little to actually fight the disease. It feels like we are so incapable of responding to this crisis that we are simply retreating into fantasy and pretending it’s not a big deal. This is all with a fast moving crisis that is in each of our own neighborhoods, and has already directly impacted about one in every hundred Americans.

When it comes to responding to climate change, I expect we will do basically nothing to prepare, and that we will abandon flooded coastal cities only after they’ve already been permanently flooded.

And Jazelle

Farmland is a good place to put it because rock dust is also high in phosphorous and other minerals and for that reason is often used anyway as a fertiliser, particularly in organic agriculture.

Basalt is one of the types of rock that can react with CO2 to trap carbon.

Purely functional languages make it trivial to get correct parallelism. In all cases, such a 'map' can be parallelised without risk of race conditions. Impure languages rely either on complex analyses to figure out when parallelism is safe, or on programmer annotations.

Whether it's a good idea to parallelise 'map' automatically is a different question. More parallelism is not always better, as all parallelism comes with overhead. Indeed, the entire point of this ray tracing benchmark is to investigate to which degree the trivial exploitation of parallelism also translates to good performance in practice (as that is ultimately the purpose of parallelism).
Or you find a customer base you didn't expect. Which has happened on products I've worked on a couple of times.

Not to mention a lot of markets look like this. Takes a year before they notice you. A year for them to realize you aren't going away. Another year before this buy anything. Another year before they buy in quantity.

Consider those first two years. None of those guys would know your current product is a POS because have haven't bought any yet. And they won't really mind finding rough edges as long as they are convinced they'll fixed.

I'm unsure about industry, but at least for residential use gas won't be going away any time soon in Europe. In the UK 86% of houses use gas as the fuel for their central heating system, and even more use it for cooking and heating hot water. From 2025 in the UK new houses will not be allowed to use gas for heating, but it's still going to be a long time until all the old properties are retrofitted.

For new builds a heat pump + solar is the smart choice - they cost more upfront but the lower costs win in the long term (after 15 years or so, without grants). The problem is older properties don't have the same level of insulation as new builds, so even if there are grants for replacing the equipment it's going to be a long time until it pays off. It depends how big the grants are though, if a government is serious about going green then it's a worthwhile investment.
1) I tried to read the article, but it's badly structured and edited.

2) The SF Bay Area has never had a ventilator shortage. In fact, we gave away 500 in March/April to other states because we have too many.

3) The article mixes up various timelines into an incoherent wall of text - General AI, corona pandemic and global warming effects all have different timelines.

4) The USA is run by oligarchs who have a policy of discarding workers, so that completely undermines the article - the unemployed will not be working on moving cities inland, they will just be forgotten and destitute.

(I hope when Cory is able to focus he can improve the article. Maybe there is something worthwhile in there.)
They've "won" so far because static types languages were cumbersome and unpleasant to use, but this is changing and dynamic languages are learning some type tricks too.

The issue here is with Rust: its strengths are mostly irrelevant for the web and its weaknesses (particularly slow development compared to the competition because of having to pacify the type checker) are really important.

Op is painstakingly beating around the bush, but what they're getting at is that Rust + webdev = mismatch.
I only use my own multireddit, /r/popular and /r/all are cesspools now

To be honest, as a whole the content has slowly decreased in quality. Now I finally understand that a lot of content on reddit is just farming karma for bots, so those bots can be sold for astroturfers. So I have a lot of distrust for reddit in general.

I'm feeling more and more frustrated, and I tell myself more and more that I have little interest going to reddit.

Sure, but the robot truck owners are also getting 40K additional per year, no? Or if they're not completely capturing the marginal difference between a human driver and a robot driver, someone elsewhere is, right?

Maybe the 40K labor savings is actually offset by a 37K a year replacement to the labor force, who also now enjoy lower prices on all shipped goods. (Assuming there is still real competition in shipping)

You don't even need in-house data scientists for that. Just look at the futures market.

The futures market not only gives you guidance for how prices are expected to develop, but also lets you transfer the risk of price movements to willing counterparties. Sometimes for a fee, of course.

I didn't realise that users have avatars now as I am still using https://old.reddit.com/ since the horrid redesign.
I started building https://20-things.com with a rather big barrier to entry (requires SMS verification) in order to discourage racists from signing up, which is what happens when anonymous registration is allowed, as seen on voat example. So far a few hundred people signed up, but I am the only one actively posting content, I use it like my personal bookmarking service. Without SMS verification, registration would be anonymous which enables racism, and in order to go this route, I'd have to have an army of moderators.
yeah, I thought about this. But I don't really have the time (or patience) to maintain an open-source project.
You're missing the point. There is no inflation taking the no automation stage as a baseline.

I.e. the scenario is workers spending $X of their employer granted salaries on goods they produce vs spending $X of basic job salaries that machines produce

That "stuff" is utter lack of scruple and astronomic amount of luck, don't feel too bad. If there was someone like that among you, you'd probably end up like Noah Glass anyway.
That's a fair point, I should distinguish heap allocation from reference counting. It still seems somewhat tricky to replicate the well proven arena allocation approach of Apache and Nginx which avoids memory fragmentation in current stable Rust though.
Jazelle was for ARM, mostly to make J2EE faster. These days, it's more practical to compile all the Java to ARM when an app is installed or in the background when the phone is charging. For server-side applications, you'll either use Graal, or just live with slow-ish startup times and let the JIT warm up.
And if we look at corporations that are privately owned in a large part, IKEA and Valve come to mind.
It didn't figure them out at all, the programmer had to figure them out the hard way and then code them in so that the compiler understands them.

GC is figuring out things mostly correctly and the programmer can focus on other things, at least until they hit a performance problem :)
Go also supports dynamic linking actually.
Their margin rates. I'm not interested in derivatives (don't trust myself not to flub it), I prefer old fashioned margin. I understand it better and it works for me. IB prices their rates with a spread based on the fed funds rate (I think), rather than just grabbing some random number out of the sky.

This stock market upheaval some other brokers are trying to have competitive margin rates, but in the past downturn when I was broker shopping, IB was blowing others away with ~2% rates while everyone was at ~7%.

IB is very much targeting advanced consumers all the way up to small funds and trading shops, so you can do a lot on their platform if you're interested.
