Unsurprising that they use this sort of tactic. SPIE is not a serious journal, instead you pay to submit and they will accept essentially anything. I say this from a background of knowing people who have submitted several SPIE papers (somewhat begrudgingly).
Spreaking of bike routes, personally that's why I prefer Grasshopper over other route planners - exactly because it seems to show the most direct path, often avoiding large roads. Riding a bike along a road with heavy car traffic is not enjoyable.
> thermal storage, and a bit of electrical storage

I'll acknowledge that renewable generation costs have been falling at an impressive rate. However you're understating the problem for storage. Besides cost, there are far more complex regulatory and political hurdles. Just read about the public response to "smart meters" when they were proposed a while back.

We'll likely have price-competitive storage technology by the middle of the next decade, maybe even sooner, but it will take another two or three decades to deploy it thanks to the patchwork of regulatory complexity we're left over with from the 20th century.

I think he has a good point actually.

The word developer itself means someone who builds. So it is natural to assume that someone who enjoys building stuff, even for fun, is a better developer also at work.

As any rule, this has exceptions and it's not universal, but it makes sense to think so. And since he's a manager, it perfectly makes sense for him to think so.

If I want the optimizer to play tricks with inline Assembly I will use C instead.

As for the rest, I am more than happy with VC++ inline Assembly and compiler intrinsics (which then VC++ can play register games if that is what you're after), as another example.

The widespread of GCC hieroglyphics inside strings, is an unfortunate state of affairs in what concerns inline Assembly.

Yes! I hate the fact that iPhones don't update or backup over mobile. My unlimited mobile data is 300mbps compared to my fixed 100mbps. Why, oh why has Apple not allowed me the option of using my mobile data how I want to?

I've got my mom and grandpa on same mobile plans without any fixed connectivity and the only time their iPhones backup is when I visit and hotspot them. It's crazy!
From my perspective, the fact that so much of computing has consolidated around a language that cannot support even the most rudimentary code completion or static analysis tools is deeply unfortunate. As a result of Python's mass adoption, uncountable thousands of hours of developer time have been wasted hunting down bugs that would have been caught by tooling in any statically-typed language.

Unless Python can fix this, by adopting static typing, it's not entirely fit for purpose in the ecosystem niche it has come to dominate. Replacing Python with a better language would be a net productivity boon for developers and scientists almost everywhere.

I think this is simply the recognition that our expectations of what team of developers can do in a given time has surpassed what that team can actually write themselves. We know understand that teams have to lean on open source, or buy libraries, in order to achieve what we expect within a reasonable time.

The reason is very obvious - the most expensive part of most projects is the people. Why pay them to write code that you can just download for free? That's a tremendous waste of money.

The phrase "anything but X" means the opposite of X (e.g. see [1]). So, "anything but pleasant" means "unpleasant". I think the commenter just used it incorrectly.

I ride in the pouring rain (it rarely snows where I love) because I don’t own a car and it takes half the time to get to work by bike than by public transport. It’s also much more pleasant despite the rain because public transport is crowded. You stand for an hour squeezed between other people in their wet coats. For me that’s sensory overload which makes my morning far too stressful. Biking, even in bad weather, is much less stressful than that.
In the age of video conferences, this will also improve your appearance a lot. Soft, indirect light coming from behind the camera… you just build your own softbox.

You're missing the point, which is that if you don't use a nuclear plant to 100% capacity (or run at 100% capacity and throw away most of the energy), you end up paying more for every Joule you actually use.

How much would it cost to build nuclear power generation capacity to meet peak demand, vs. building a grid with renewables, long-term transmission and storage? The levelized cost of solar and wind power is way below that of nuclear power (and that difference will become much larger if you're only fully utilizing nuclear power during the daily peak demand), so the question is how much storage and transmission add for renewables.

Stream Switched from Python to Golang
Switching to new technology is always a big step and this is major when the team you are working has only some people with prior experience with that technology especially when it is a programming language. Stream has Python as their primary language until the year 2019 but earlier in the year they decided to switch from Python to Golang.

Why I thought about this:
I'm using a ~12 year old monitor that occasionally has a broken column of pixels about 2/3 of the whole monitor width away from the left edge and thought it was trying to align with the ever-moving map on the site. It confused me why the actual location wasn't lining up until I realized it was my monitor's fault.

"by definition" always depends on the definition. Tax laws, immigration, I'd say all our reality isn't updated to "people working remotely".

If you detach your job from your (real) environment, this introduces all kinds of issues. You don't pay the share to one of the societies you're embedded into, like taxes. You'd have to be registered as workforce - which you're not, if you're a tourist.

Wayland vs. D-Bus, and the lack of agreement on when to use them
It seems like you’re saying that people are burning wood. It’s worth pointing out that wood burning stoves are not all the same. Here in America our environmental agency (EPA) has mandated that all new wood burning stoves meet their new standards for emissions. The result is that a new wood burning stove can produce as little as 1/15th the emissions of what a traditional wood fireplace would emit. For the 2020 models, a wood burning stove should release less particulate than a car without a catalytic converter, while a regular fireplace is roughly as bad as an old diesel truck.

It’s still nowhere as clean as even natural gas, but even without switching fuel sources you can do a lot to make wood burn cleaner.
> Those concerns came to light last month when a longstanding critic of the project, Phillip W. Magness, noted in the online magazine Quillette that references to 1619 as the country’s “true founding” or “moment [America] began” had disappeared from the digital display copy without explanation.

This perhaps is the biggest indictment of the 1619 project, that the most central and controversial claims were quietly scrubbed, without actually acknowledging these flaws or the project's critics openly. At the same time, all the rest of the content in the project that stemmed from that worldview remains in tact. It is scary to see activists and teachers unions pushing for this content to be taught in schools, given its poor scholarship and purposeful ignorance of fact checkers (https://www.politico.com/news/magazine/2020/03/06/1619-proje...).
In theory yes, although you probably want to declare yourself as tourist in many countries, unless you want to have some fun with local authorities.
The rationale I've seen is that you're contributing less (risk-adjusted) to the country's economy than either a tourist (who would be spending more) or someone on a work visa (who would have a stable job and be paying local taxes) would.

Given that C++ has barely made a dent in some of those domains, after 40 years of trying, any Rust advocacy towards that target market can take a lesson or two from why those engineers are unwilling to move beyond C89 + OEM specific extensions.
There’s also even the option of using hg as a git client since forever, though iirc the extension broke somewhat regularly (though I was using it on OS X which may not have helped).
I had clients who used a three digit versioning scheme: Major version was always 1 (feels more stable than "0"), minor version was iteration number, patch version was spring number.

Glad these alternative versioning schemes now have a name.
I wonder how long would adoption take. The hardware and software progress around sound seems to be way slower than around image. Which is understandable, as thanks to the lower data rates stuff has been "good enough" for a long time.

Musician does not spend 8 hours a day playing music at work and then plays at home in addition to it. Playing music at home is not addition to full time work.

Same with mathematician, actually. I know, because I have them in my family. They do math for work, whether at work or at home. And they do have non-math hobbies.

Writer is not writing 8-5 in work just to come home for hobby writing. Writer either writes for job or has non-writing job.

100% not. Chefs work long hours and when they come home, they want partner to cook.

There were a lot of terms and conditions attached when I last saw the plan. I was in Thailand Mar-Jun and if it was just a 14 day quarantine and then you are free to go where you want I might go back but I read "Applicants for the visa will have to book a hotel or private accommodation for the full 90 days in order to qualify." I'm not surprised that not many people fit with that. I read somewhere they have had 50 applicants total.

Think about a machine in a factory. You have to maintain it and it doesn't generate revenue by itself. It generates the product you then have to sell. The machine is still an asset.
Hydro would essentially be used as a battery, not to produce most of the power. You can generate hydro power when there's a lull in the wind or on a cloudy day.

I'm really talking about biomass, and I mention it because it's more dispatchable, meaning that it can be used to smooth some of the fluctuations in wind and solar.

There are better technologies than lead-acid batteries. Thermal salt storage and flow batteries are two interesting options. Thermal salt storage has already been used in conjunction with solar thermal energy, but it could be used with any generation source. There are some ongoing large flow battery demonstration projects, such as an 800 MWh / 200 MW battery being built in Dalian, China.

5% of the surface of the country isn't so bad. But wind is stronger and steadier offshore, so it's better to line the coastline with wind farms.

The article and the links it references do a good job of explaining the arguments. A short summary:

* Rust's no_std means you can run bare metal with less memory overhead than even newlib based c

* no_std also makes it easier to port to new platforms, as nonportable parts are isolated out of the std lib

* algebraic data types and in particular enums that can carry disjoint associated data reduce the number of error prone magic constants and casts in your code, as well as catching all missing switch cases

* unsafe makes it very easy for you to audit where data races or memory errors are possible, instead of needing to audit an entire c codebase

* The borrow check makes you work more, but in many cases this is justified by it leading you to a less brittle design

The examples, particularly on cliff's blog post, make pretty convincing arguments oo these points imo.

I also wouldn't discount EEs so much. There's plenty of complexity to Verilog and all the other tools they use.
You don't "fight the borrow checker" after a while; rather, you enjoy the fact that it exists. "Difficult syntax" becomes enjoyable as well, and it's all subjective.

> I think this profession is hard enough as it is.

Exactly, I think so too. Don't think I need another source of annoyance like spending days on digging at obscure segfaults and data races caused by logical mutability mistakes.
Yes! A git cli with a good syntax which is the same for every command would be useful. It would not have to do every nifty git feature, just uses a senseful subset: git push/bull branching/merging/rebasing and add some nifty common problems like delete file from history, remove last x commits already pushed etc.

The most popular git questions on stackoverflow tells a story on which tasks are more complex on git because you have to know all the internal tricks.
But you don’t fight meaninglessly with the borrows checker. For me, this was only the first few weeks. Once you know the (simple) borrowing rules, it is rarely a problem anymore. It only rears its head every now and then when you know something is valid, but the borrows checker is not able to infer it.

Another dimension to it is that the borrows checker rules also apply in most other languages if you want to write valid code. They are just not enforced and you have to rely on your own discipline instead (which humans are bad at).
Of course, use whatever you prefer.

But the techniques I listed, which Linux kernel (and other software) relies on for performance, can't be done in C, can't be done with compiler intrinsics, and can't be done with basic asm in the style of DMD and MSVC either.

A feature to add new program-specific intrinsics to the compiler would work, but I don't know of any compiler which offers that, and it would probably look like extended asm anyway.

The GCC syntax isn't pretty. But I can't agree that it's inferior unless someone points to a better alternative that achieves similar results.

I've written programs that were portable to both GCC and MSVC, using the inline asm syntax of both compilers. The MSVC version produced slower code, because there was no way to produce the asm I wanted using MSVC.

What do they do on the weekends? How do they make a living? Do they have internet access? How did they get the materials there to build houses? What do the houses look like on the inside?

Unless you're writing libraries, Rust feels a lot like Python.

One thing that sticks out in a scripting mindset is the various string types, but I mostly accept that as a small price to pay for doing things correctly (OS strings vs. UTF-8 vs. C strings).

Because of the kinds of things I build with Rust, I've had to write quite a few cargo build scripts (build.rs files), which are very bash/Python script-y in nature. Not once have I wished for a different language!
