Australia is addicted to coal, both in consumption and export. It's been a politically hot debate here for 20 years, with mining and resource companies having a heavy hand in our politics.

With Australia's commitment to the Paris Agreement and rapidly dropping prices of wind & solar generation (LCOE now less than coal derived electricity generation [0]), I hope this will change very soon! Also worth noting that China, where Australia sends a lot of coal, has committed to becoming carbon neutral before 2060 [1].

Plenty of reasons:

By "music files" I assume you mean the records that you can buy off the shelf in a record store.

1) Bandwidth. The file size would grow proportional to the number of separated tracks (less silence in the audio file).

2) Probably low demand. Beyond music nerds and audio engineers, I don't think too many people would be interested in hearing the separated files.

3) It undermines artistic intent: Giving people the ability to remix a song that is outside of the artist's control would probably run counter to their vision of what the song should be. Artists and engineers spend a LOT of time perfecting every detail, and anything that works against that intent may be unwanted.

4) IP concerns. It takes control of the music away from the creator and the business interests once alternate versions exist. It's common for record companies to release "special editions" with the instrumental or acapella versions included as a bonus. By retaining these, labels can have extra revenue opportunities in their pocket for later.

Native Instruments tried to establish a standardized music format a few years back called "Stems". It's a file format that allows the listener to listen to the entire song or to any combination of it's four constituent stems (Drums, Bass, Instruments, Vocals). It was designed with DJs in mind and people who want to make their music easier to remix. As cool and as welcome as the idea is, it had low-adoption and there didn't seem to be a large enough demand for such a format.

As others will no doubt mention, you can procure the multi-track recordings for a lot of famous song sessions if you know where to look online. Audio engineers also trade these amongst themselves as they are leaked because it allows a detailed look into the craft of a finished recording. Like the source code leaking for a piece of software.

I think we don't have a good way to transport energy which makes green energy slightly impractical as the main source of energy.

If we find a way to connect the world on a common electricity grid, we might be able to skip nuclear and go full green (ofc this ignores the cost of producing/disposing those green energy generators)

>He already said/implied, an international committee or coalition, representative of the world, while possibly still headed by the US. Unless you're seriously arguing ISIS would be a potential alternative to US control of domain names, why even mention them?

I mention ISIS simply to demonstrate that power vacuums can lead to unintended consequences. ICANN has issues, but will pushing the power of domain management to an international coalition be good for the health and openness of the Internet? Hard to say.

>Even within the US, authorities regularly and routinely confiscate the property of American citizens, without charging them with anything. So the idea that the US is the greatest protector of liberty for people outside the US is not credible.

You do know civil asset forfeiture doesn't happen for no reason at all, right? That said, you're right that many local law enforcement agencies started stretching the law to excessively seize assets and thereby fund their departments. You may be interested to know the Supreme Court, two years ago, held state and local law enforcement are also subject to the Excessive Fines Clause, just like federal law enforcement [1]. While there's plenty of work to do to enact limits for each state [2], the foundation for future efforts to restrict civil asset forfeiture is now established.

Look, I get that hating on the USA is in vogue these days. All the cool kids talk about how much the USA sucks, and anyone expressing otherwise is not worth the cool kids' time. But consider that the US Consitution is the oldest governing document currently in force. It works damn well, and perhaps so because it protects liberty extraordinarily well, even though the costs of liberty are high.

Definitely cool, but seems to be missing some data. Even in areas that they seem to have coverage. They have PJM covering the Mid Atlantic region, but none of the actual local companies doing it. Dominion Energy has ~1.5GW of Solar in VA alone. But doesn't seem they take it into account. I am sure this is because Dominion doesn't offer the numbers, but it seems like there is incomplete coverage in areas they are showing coverage for.
This is why, according to GDPR and CCPA principles (it is not written as is in the text) we need to include API neutrality for users, as the right to have an API access to 3rd party applications to exercise users' data portability regulations. All of this without the possibility of the company to revoke API access. Like the net neutrality, but for APIs.

I've been reflecting on the ethical considerations of being part of such an industry. On one end, I'm enamored with the huge and interesting problem space that defense entails, and I do believe that the industry is pretty necessary. I see it as meaningful work, something that can be pretty fulfilling in the long run. But squaring up with the possibility that the projects involved on can harm other human beings with great efficiency bothers me somewhat.

I wish there was audiophile equipment for older people that took that into account. Headphones and speakers, say, that only go to 14 KHz instead of 20 KHz. By not needing to design for as wide a frequency range, they should be able to either make them less expensive, or more accurate, or both.
Aside from tiredness, in my experience procrastination is primarily about fear. On a very deep level, I'm scared of feelings and realities that I know I'll have to confront by doing the work. Feelings like "I don't know how to do this" and "what I've made actually sucks and was a huge waste of time".
Nobody can possibly know if it's permanent, of course, but currently it's looking like about 10% of people don't completely recover.

You missed the point - it's not about the work - many developers work weekends and continuously educate themselves.

I do plenty of coding activities in my spare time, my library is filled with technical books, some work related, others that I bought out of interest in a given technology - but I don't think there should be an expectation to have a published game, a large website making a few hundreds of bucks a week or a massively successful open sourced project.
Hey...This is great.

I have this kind of 'fuck everything' moment from time to time. It's satisfying but not last long because the lack of further plan. Still miles better than scrolling through reddit or reading gurus advices all days without taking any action though.

>money that he must get to live

That refered to taxation as a secondary measure, but much less so as it refered to the wage system.

From "What shall we do?", Tolstoy :

-"So it was in ancient times, in the Middle Ages, and so it occurs now. In the ancient world, where the subjugation of one people by another was frequent, personal slavery was the most widespread method of subjugation, and the centre of gravity in this compulsion, owing to the non-recognition of the equality of men. In the Middle Ages, feudalism—land-ownership and the servitude connected with it—partly takes the place of personal slavery, and the centre of compulsion is transferred from persons to land. In modern times, since the discovery of America, the development of commerce, and the influx of gold (which is accepted as a universal medium of exchange), the money tribute has become, with the increase of state power, the chief instrument for enslaving men, and upon this all economic relations are now based." (http://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/38690)

Tolstoy here refers also to the centrality of the state in the institution of wage labour, that he sees as akin to slavery. Indeed, Tolstoy was an anarchist, and thus violently anti-capitalist.
Keep in mind you need to run the non-SIMD baseline function, too, to perform the actual comparison/verification... So, not yet.

I would maintain some hope for municipal fiber. Our local power company deployed one carefully, and was very successful despite repeated suits by the cable-internet provider. Eventually the ISP fought back at the state government level which limited the fiber's expansion, but lots of rural areas launched their own using similar models. Apparently the cable monopolies didn't feel it was worth competing for rural areas, meaning a number of farmhouses, hours away from cities, have better service for cheaper.

I haven't seen a great analysis yet on this report, though I did read this poor piece: https://www.wsj.com/articles/too-complex-to-break-up-is-the-... WSJ: ‘Too Complex to Break Up’ Is the New ‘Too Big to Fail’
Existing storage lithium ion batteries have a minimum of 10 year warranties [1,2], and the Tesla Hornsdale battery has a fifteen year warranty. [3] it’s not as though the batteries suddenly stop working then, they just have less capacity. So 3-5 years of equipment life is not a realistic estimate.

Putting 12 hours of battery storage right next to 3 weeks just makes the 12 hours look suspect too. 3 weeks is just crazy numbers from people that haven’t studied the problem much. Most zero carbon grid modeling selects far far less than 12 hours of battery storage.

But even if we stick with that 12 hours of world energy of batteries, 60 TWh is only 5x more than the 12 TWh of US energy. I apologize for misinterpreting your stats and being off by 5 in the comparison of numbers, but a 5x or 10x or even 100x growth is well within the range of sustained exponential growth.

As grid storage plus solar becomes cheaper than natural gas, we will hit an inflection point that will drive massive expansion of battery storage production capacity, even beyond what is currently being built for EVs.

Will there be a massive interchange of technologies and production capacities. Yes, it will be huge, so from one perspective we are a long ways away from our target, but from the perspective of our current trajectory and from the perspective of what is currently being planned just for EVs, an entire industry is being built. It will take a little while for energy guys to wake up to this new reality because they are a slow changing industry, but they will be brought along for the ride whether they know it now or not. There’s a good reason that NextEra surpassed the market cap of Exxon recently, as the market is finally waking up to the new reality too.

I think maybe it’s because lawyers and doctors take on cases/patients by themselves sometimes. If they win cases or help patients that speaks to their ability.

These days many software developers have never delivered software by themselves, so when they say they were “part of a team that developed X” we can’t know if they really did a significant part of X, or if they were just along for the ride.
This is how I feel about writing. I write for work all day, every day: strategy documents, internal and public help articles, hundreds of long-form emails to customers, not to mention the critical commentary that goes in to design and spec reviews.

Wall clock time is pretty much only measured in practice as some offset relative to some repeating process, though (e.g. hours since start of day). Cells certainly have processes that repeat on a daily basis, at different offsets from the beginning of the day; they may not actually be measured by counting ticks (the jury's still out on exactly how they do it, I think?), but the effect is similar.
How is that any different than the average game engine?

It's not that they make it impossible upgrade to a new major version, but yes it's not prudent to switch between major revisions of a game engine deep into development, that's not unique to Unity.

Game engines don't have the JavaScript style churn where your library is dead if it doesn't do something major every month

Unreal Engine 3 => 4 was 8 years?

Unreal Engine 5 is going to launch next year, almost 7 years later

Unity 4 => 5 was 5 years, and then Unity switched LTS releases which are getting updates for 3 or 4 years?

-

The improvements that come with major versions just don't make sense to try and pull in on a game deep in development either

I mean look at this year's releases, a big focus has been the new render pipelines, but are you going to rip out your game's entire graphics stack mid development and redo every single shader and material?

Unless you really have a good reason, probably not...

Yeah, interesting point.

Depending on how granular someone wants to get, you can break a session for any given pop record into upwards of 60+ channels. Drum kits in particular are among the most complicated instruments and can have anywhere from 3-16 channels dedicated to it. It's not uncommon to use three microphones to capture different aspects of the kick drum alone: 1) Inside the kick by the beater, 2) outside the kick by the resonant head and 3) a mic that captures the subby "chest" frequencies that you only feel in your body.

Additionally, certain groups of instruments have interdependent relationships that react to one another. For example when the kick drum hits, the bass might "duck down" out of the way (temporarily) so that they aren't occupying the same sonic space. This dynamic relationship between instruments helps to make a song groove more and have greater impact. Any given song could have numerous dynamic relationships like this that are set up by the audio engineer. Some of the magic or "vibe" of a given recording can go away when you selectively mute or disable certain instrument groups.

Sometimes the only option you have to preserve that exact balance between the instruments is to print the stereo buss. Printing the instruemnts individually can kill the vibe.

I suggest you read the UNSCEAR report. It's collated about 20 years of data into a 600 page report about Chernobyl. I'd suggest it's probably one of the most thorough and detailed such works put together, ever. It covers all manner of chronic disease, excess mortality, and even mental health outcomes of people who believed they were somehow contaminated. That pins the number at 4,000. [1]

At your suggestion I'll read the survey you mentioned.

The most important thing about Unity is to know that the Editor is not the same as the Client.

Assets load differently, in surprising ways. Materials may work fine in Editor but not in Client.

Code executes differently. Timings are different, the Editor shares managed Heap with the Client, and so garbage collection is different.

And so on.

Rule 0 with Unity: _do not rely on the Editor for testing_.
Steam had me select crosswalks for almost 5 straight minutes. I don’t know if my selections were not getting queued on the server (no clue how it’s set up), so it almost felt like they had me in a holding pattern selecting crosswalks until they were ready to validate it.
