I like the metaphor technical tax, as it's the cruft that usually permanently sucks up x% of your development capacity. If it ratchets up permanently, after some time you're at a complete standstill.
Fusion is ridiculous. It will make fission look simple and cheap by comparison. Those investing in it are pouring money into a bottomless pit. And this would be true even if the plasma confinement issues were 100% solved.
This doesn't look to be effectively end to end encrypted for album sharing. There is no way to verify the identity of the people you are sharing with so the provider can trivially MITM the keys.
I use anki to document and remember all my emacs custom key-bindings. That might sound silly but it's easy to accumulate useful things over the years in emacs and forget about them.

Emacs is vast and deep and there's a lot to learn and remember.

It also serves the same purpose for key-bindings and functions in various modes and packages.
The problem with nuclear is that we are extremely poor at calculating this number up front, typically by a factor of 2x-5x. Construction starts based on unrealistic expectations of huge profits, then as expenses explode, the hope of profit disappears. Projects will complete if the builders are susceptible to the sink cost fallacy, or if they do not need to compete with cheaper forms of energy.

And if low operating expenses is a good thing, then solar and wind and battery storage are far better than nuclear on that front.
I think by now we can safely say that the influence of TV on society has indeed been net negative.
They're linear coupled PDE s are they not? which allow for a significantly wider range of behaviours that linear ODEs?

As far as I understand, there is no 'closed form solution' for the initial value problem of Maxwell's equations, despite them being linear?

So I'm not sure it's correct to say that "linearity ~ simplicity" in PDE theory. My understanding is the correct analog of "linear" in PDEs is "elliptic" [which is more akin to 'operator with full spectrum'], which Maxwell's equations are not?
I have started a blog about sleep products https://tuckme.in
Currently, building the content and figuring how to best monetize, apart from ad space. Eventually, would be great to grow it into subscription service -> e-comm
Yeah, I guess it can be abused easily, but again... how can we as code monkeys fight these power hungry practices that keep dragging us backward ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I don't get how google can fuck themselves so much closing used products without having a proper replacement. I have bough many albums on the google play music store with the promise to be able to stream whenever I wan't. I don't want to fall on the subscription hype, and used to bough an album each month instead of paying for a subscription. Of course I can download them and se them offline, but for a company like google to be unable to maintain a basic promised service and instead closing it seems like an insult.

I was experimenting on having all my music on my nas and streaming directly from there instead of relying on another subscription service, so I think I will try to move everything to that (currently the only thing I lack is streaming directly to my tv, because i don't have that use case often).

Postgresql automatic reindex identified as cause I think?

Database load spiked and this has dramatically increased error rates and degraded times on responses.
Automatic re-indexing was enabled over the weekend. A re-index of the routes table changed the statistics on the route table resulting in much less efficient queries to the table. A manual re-analyze of the table fixed the issue. The automatic re-indexing has been disabled.

I am more interested in what is automatic reindex, why enable it, how it broke things, and so on. Can someone please enlighten me?
There’s a setting you can tweak allowing you to set smaller intervals like 1 3 7 15 30 minutes until card will be postponed for the next day. Takes a bit longer to learn a new card but it should work. I went from 30% forgotten on each session to 5-10%.
I lived through OnLive -- from beta to shutdown -- and that is exactly why I'm putting zero money into these cloud-only game licenses, unless it's a Netflix-style subscription. When the time comes for shutdown, they won't do the courtesy of granting one free license for that game on another platform, e.g.: Steam, Xbox Live, PSN. The purchases will just be gone and people will point at the ToS.

The only way IMO is GeForce Now-style services, where your existing digital library is honored. That or Netflix-style subscriptions like Game Pass Ultimate.

We never say that anywhere, but thank you for the heads up.

Indeed, you have all the rights to say so, but we both enjoy the liberties to differ on what "security-in-depth" is.

That argument isn't even an argument. "Oooh, numbers are big and scary! Run away!"

The truth is that renewables (well, aside from biomass; that's usually what those arguments boil down to, so don't use biomass as your renewable source) scale just fine. The Earth is constantly struck by 100,000 terawatts of sunlight, and global primary energy demand is less than 20 terawatts.

I appreciate the feedback!

In general I agree with what you mention. I'm explaining my personal path, I don't want to give too much details but I'll be happy to answer any question you have.

I attribute part of my earnings to luck because it's what really happened, how do you call withdrawing some BTC before a crash that nobody was expecting?

Maybe in some countries is illegal to hire someone without making a job position public, I don't know but there are plenty of company websites where you can make an open submission. If they end hiring you, is that illegal?

Last clarification, I'm not saying that my algorithm will continue earning 2% forever, I'm just saying that it will provide a good income without requiring much effort. I will try to review these last paragraphs to make the point more clear.

Again, thank you for offering your thoughts, I will be happy to provide more details while taking into account your feedback!
If you have high standards in anything, most people won't get it right. Tools are only as useful as the person wielding them.

I ended up simply printing my photos. This also had a positive effect on the quality - you tend to select the better ones when you are limited.

It's not just about third-party storage - I have a picture of my great-grandmother and her parents from 1898 when she was 3 in my photo album. It survived several wars, regimes, and revolutions. No current digital tech in general can provide this kind of longevity, you have to actively watch the media yourself and transfer it when it's about to expire. (which I also do for the rest, of course)

Of course, but in using multiple I wager we would end up with a transmission rate the same or worse than without tunnelling. Might be wrong, but I'll defer to the actual experts on this one.
> OP's ability to put his learnings into words

Reading this gave me the exact opposite impression - the amount of work it takes to extract takeaways from this writing is IMO one of it's biggest failures. It felt like pulling teeth to try and even get meaning out of some sections. #3 in particular is so nebulous I struggle to find the lesson at all. To me, this seems like a case of bad writing organization. If done better, I bet this piece would be half the length of current.

As to the contentious content: taking time to understand how your company works, great! Needing 6 months before being considered useful? Huge red flag.

> When you’re in a company full of smart people, like Shopify, it can often be quite tricky to resolve disagreements and impasses

Here's another huge red flag for me. The later explanation around having an idea of how the leadership/company thinks? Great. But having that philosophy/approach outlined should make resolution a lot easier. The "full of smart people" excuse could be rooted in a few things, but I struggle to think of a good one.
That's the logic that gave us the PATRIOT Act, the full consequences of which have yet to be understood.
SpaceX and Blue Origin exist because of two billionaires brought up on dreams of space travel. Without their willingness to sustain potentially very heavy losses those companies would not exist.

It's not like there are a variety of startups nipping at their heels. They want to make a profit but they're not doing it because they're convinced they will.

As for the word "current"... well, if the nuclear industry thinks it's so safe and thinks it can prove it to the insurance industry why don't they prove it and forgo their public insurance subsidy? They fought for this subsidy in the first place, they can give it up just as easily.

Why not let the free market decide if they're safe rather than providing taxpayers as a backstop?
the fact that it will be unimaginably expensive is not the point: we don't have a choice.

The issue raised by GP comment is how you allocate that insane expense. As I read it, they are only suggesting we spend on the most affordable technologies available to lessen the impact of climate change, not the most expensive.

Kidding aside, its going to be really tough to wean people off social media. It will be the defining problem of the world going forward. Things only get worse from here. There will be woke people who get off of the internet but not woke population.
I don’t think there’s anything wrong with addressing a group of people you belong to and share common values with. This site is based around such as notion. Statements from a group member carry more weight and you can speak to shared ideals. It doesn’t mean your statement can’t apply to others either. Similar things were said about the other media you list but one can’t deny that there are both qualitative and quantitative differences between those media. The danger I think lies in the replacement of human interaction and is proportional to the amount of time consumed.

> [Bohm/de Broglie Pilot Wave interpretation of QM] is interesting despite being debunked by Bell's, etc

No, the pilot wave interpretation is not debunked by Bell’s theorem. That is a persistent misrepresentation of Bell’s theorem. In Bell’s own words:

“My own first paper on this subject ... starts with a summary of the EPR argument from locality to deterministic hidden variables. But the commentators have almost universally reported that it begins with deterministic hidden variables.”

Look at the Hambach brown coal site in Germany. It’s 45 sq km of environmental destruction. Chernobyl’s concrete coffin is barely 1 sq km. And the rest of the area is returning to nature. Animals, at least aren’t affected by radiation anywhere near as badly as originally thought.
> Rust is too hard to learn

Complaints about Rust's learning curve is something I really do not get.

Yes, it forces you do actually think of what you're doing, which most devs seem to consider a Bad Thing™, but in the mid to long run it helps one enormously and it's one of the first languages of the last 30 years which actually makes lots of things better as a whole, while not being in a walled closed ecosystem.

> compiles too slow

There's definitively room for improvement here, but honestly, it's way faster than most C++ projects, and the fact that I have native support for nicely separating stuff in sub crates or workspaces, which dramatically improve iterative compiling, makes this a non-issue as long as one does not dump everything together as a pig pile.

> hard to interop with C

This is just plain wrong, it's very easy to interop with C - we're doing so with some projects, among other a library interoperating with QEMU, where the rust stuff is async (using tokio) and we can nicely integrate this into the C code of QEMU. Automatic binding generation allows you to do this quickly, albeit not very idiomatic most of the time. But manual binding generation is seldom hard, either already done on more popular stuff or one time cost, which, if one knows the code they want to bind too (they should) is rather small.

> less safe than VM-based languages

Hardly so. One is much more exposed to dynamic runtime errors in those, GC is a PITA and the VM is normally not safer than the rust std lib, as most of it is written in safe rust already and is around, battle tested for up to 5 or even 10 years.

Unless I missed it, it doesn't sound like they have any real metrics on the returns -- how long did most people have the book before returning? If most returns were on the same day then they just didn't like your reading style or voice, versus a week later. Seems like a critical piece of info you'd want.

Personally I've returned only a book or two simply because I couldn't listen to the narrator; usually you can tell if you'll like the voice from the sample, but reading style can vary greatly outside the 30 second sample; I also never finished the first chapter.

I have no idea which is further from a purely pitch adjusted version of the original! The key (no pun intended) takeaway is that virtually all instruments sound different in each key, and just playing higher will sound different to eg recording and adjusting the pitch digitally (or analog-ly).
In my case I don't think it was related to overheating at all as apart from being charged all the the time it was used utmost 1 hour a day for YT although battery did loose its ability to retain charge within couple of months(from being perfect) once I started to use it as secondary monitor.

This happened with my iPhone 5c too, which I used for displaying terminal(But removed before bulging).

Newer Apple devices/iOS supposedly prevents overcharging, that might also explains Sidecar integration with macOS.

At some point I really wished there were a remake (that would be as close to the original as possible just with updated graphics, etc.). Though there are games that borrow some of the mechanics I still think MoM had a great balance of playability, depth and atmosphere.

Correct. Distributing and developing illegal software (as RIAA has declared youtube-dl to be) is a solved problem technically.

I'd like to see a case surrounding software like this actually defended in a court, though. It would be helpful to clarify what is legal and what is not on the modern Internet in terms of fair use and time shifting.

Learning and memory is a complex thing. If you don't learn even after adjusting the interval, I think there is something else.

No I did not. This was some years back before gdpr . They did not deny data, simply asked premium for my originals. I deleted account and moved on, since I had local copies, which took some time to locate among all the hard drives, but I did locate eventually.
> That might sound silly

That’s not silly at all, a lot of people use Anki for things like that. I’ve seen a couple of premade decks but I would avoid these.

When it comes to keybindings its better to make your own deck otherwise you end up learning a load of bindings you’ll never use. I like to add them as and when I need them.

>You could always tax the shit out of fossil fuels and they won't be competitive.

We have technically been able to do this as a species ever since global warming was discovered yet even in the face of an extinction level event we apparently still can't make ourselves do it. Fossil fuel lobbies are just too powerful. Carbon taxes are mostly weak or non existent. It's the species level way of saying "why don't you just give up smoking?". Not that easy.

Yet it is apparently possible to make solar + wind + storage + demand shifting energy cost competitive even without subsidies and very competitive with subsidies. The fossil fuel industry hasn't managed to shut it down. Species level nicorette patches.

One day we'll be able to tax the shit out of fossil fuels - once it is a nearly dead industry without much political muscle. By then it probably won't matter, though.
Any organization you create to manage such a list will be captured by non-programmers with an agenda that is political and stops serving the original purpose. They will play favorites.

If the video is viewed directly on youtube, the majority of viewers will also be served ads which generate revenue that is shared with the copyright holder (note how youtube identifies the music in the video and who the copyright holder is below the description of the video).
