Those scare quotes are kinda rude, and whatever you're trying to insinuate with them is wrong.
Yes. It's a rebranding. But I've used the term before myself when trying to highlight the two classes of web that exist today. http://superkuh.com/blog/2020-02-22-1.html
Drupal 7 Extended Support: What you need to know and how Tag1 can help, Pt. 1
for those wondering why more applications do not source metal as a fuel, burning metal is frighteningly difficult to extinguish.

metal fires often burn at more than 5000 degrees F. That’s hot enough to disassemble water into its component parts, and one of those parts is hydrogen gas, which is not only flammable but explosive. any uncontrolled release of liquid into the fire would be catastrophic. Metal fires cannot generally be quickly extinguished in an emergency or uncontrolled accident.

metal fires also release toxic gasses and byproducts that often require more consideration than electric or gas.

as an update to a few questions: NEVER add water to a metal fire. it will cause an explosion.

depriving the fire of oxygen works, but only insofar as it remains deprived until the fuel source cools from 5000 degrees, or it risks spontaneous reignition. it generally has to be monitored similar to a crucible as it cools.

most accidental metal fires do not have a cogent or quick option to deprive the fuel source of air.
I was going to mention this. The point is that Apple and AMD buy more wafers.

It’s rumoured that Nvidia’s deal with Samsung was for working dies, not total wafers.
On the other hand, I don’t think any of the numbers Tesla gives is of direct interest to those who buy such large trucks (with the exception of the D energy consumption, which implies “cheaper to operate”, but what fraction of a truck’s cost is spent on fuel?)

Volvo’s ‘fluff’ at least hints at “this truck may be allowed to enter city centers” and “disability payments to drivers may go down”.
> Metal fires cannot generally be quickly extinguished in an emergency or uncontrolled accident.

what happens if you spray a fire extinguisher into a metal fire?
1) A node _could_ run arbitrary code, but unless it trusts the code's provenance then it should use a white-list as you mention.

> why not just settle on a fixed-but-extensible list of hashing algorithms that are known to work well today?"

Sure, that's what a whitelist will be, but with one major difference: each node gets to pick its own whitelist, there's no built-in centralization via the "one true source code."

2) Yes, miners will choose hashing algorithms that are easy for themselves and hard for others, but the nodes get to value each block from their own perspective. If they think a miner is using a weird hash function, they can penalize it or just blacklist the function.

Everything you've said in your post is fundamentally wrong, and more importantly, legally wrong, so I won't bother with a point-by-point this time.
Great - I'll look out for it.

We have had automated GUIs generated for command line utilities since PowerShell 2:

That’s downselling Scandinavian aesthetics or upselling the law of Dante.

Maybe.
Tesla is the last company I would look to for advice about the future of the market for haulage. Weight is one point against battery packs, but easy refill/swap and maintenance are two points in their favour. When you start to deal with volume commercial vehicles the cost of maintenance and repair adds up and is considered a part of doing business. If you try to tell me that your load-bearing conformal battery packs that are critical to making the truck move are an item my depot mechanics cannot touch or repair I am going to show you the door.

If my truck are loading/unloading they are probably doing it at customer facilities so charging is unlikely to be an option. If they are loading/unloading at my facility then I can swap the battery pack at the same time.

Not gp, but I know plenty of other languages and I still love it.
That sounds good in theory but I think in practice, at least in the relatively broken representative system in the US, I'm not so sure.

Consider that politicians often operate against the will of ~49% of their constituents. As long as they can maintain a majority, they don't care as much about the minority. I don't think a company, operating in a healthy non-monopolized marketplace, would be as willing to lose 49% of their customers.
> Metal fires cannot generally be quickly extinguished in an emergency or uncontrolled accident

In the case of a furnace, couldn't you simply cut off the oxygen supply?
At best nothing, at worst you spread the fire around by moving the burning metal.

Rarely does SCOTUS reverse course like that, even when the justices change. The risk, while not zero, seems very slight.
It doesn’t seem obvious that such a scene has any value, so I’m not sure that the assumption that it does is a great foundation for an argument.
It can also emit swagger/OpenAPI v2, so you can then consume that API easily!
Telescript Technology: Mobile Agents (1996)
There is a huge hole in functionality of IPv6 in most common networking equipment. I have a Mikrotik and the IPv6 functionality is signifiantly worse than the IPv4 one:

- There's no caching DNS and I can't set static DNS entries for IPv6

- There's no way to use DHCPv6 to give out addresses.

- Because of lack of DHCPv6, there's not way to give out static addresses to devices on LAN and manage them centrally.

- Because of lack of DHCPv6 and static addressing, it's really annoying to configure firewall to allow outside access to services on LAN devices (on IPv4 you either have static entries or NAT-PMP).

- There's no fasttrack functionality so IPv6 traffic will max out CPU and prevent me from fully using my Gbit fiber line.

- There's no UI way of announcing DNS to clients via DHCPv6 - you can set some option amanually but it's far from setting a nice UI entry like for DNS.

And yes, those are all holes in my routers Firmware, but it's been YEARS and they're still lacking. Other SOHO routers aren't faring any better, I haven't seen these features configurable on any of them.

I have a LAN which has a PiHole and a Synology NAS at home + some entertainment devices. Configuring IPv6 to allow access to same services as IPv4 from WAN via public DNS has been practically impossible, undocumented and huge pain. For pretty much no gain and loss of bandwidth.
I was about to say, I'd like to know which language juniors don't make a mess of.
I disagree. I find both the Azure and AWS CLI more discoverable than their web UIs.
Intellij sucks! It forces you to buy the latest macbook if you want to develop for Android normally.

VIM is the best. VIM uses less than 2gb ram. Be like VIM.

I guess for stupid rich people point and click is nice, but don't force me to use slow crashing Intellij. I did not even know the beach ball was still a mac feature until I used intellij to write Kotlin.
Gas stations, refineries, pipelines, loading ports, bulk tankers and of course oil wells & rigs represent trillions of dollars of infrastructure & investment that have to be built and maintained. So I think we're just shifting the investment from one kind of infrastructure to another (one that's hopefully more efficient and less environmentally damaging).
I like the look of the Cybertruck. It's like the truck Automan would drive!
I've seen designs for renewable energy storage that use gravity. These are often with water, but I've also seen designs using cranes and regenerative braking. I've seen designs like this that use load shedding for generating some useful feedstock material.

What I haven't seen is many people doing both at the same time. I might have seen a desal unit powered by green energy, which tops up the water towers when power is cheap, but not much beyond that.
> it’s not just about finding a way to cope with the constraints it imposes; it’s also about thriving within the constraints it imposes

This is an extremely important point! Most people try to make a language act like another language, rather than try and embrace how it does things. "When in Rome(, do as the Romans do)"

It's like when people try and make C into another language by abusing the macro system, you get a horrible mess compared to if you embraced what the language likes to do normally.

Personally, I think Rust's memory model is quite high level, and coupled with its ownership semantics, I cannot do many things such as custom allocators. (Not a singular custom global allocator)
I don't know if what Intel has been doing are so much strategies as whatever can be done to hold market share. They could claim single-thread performance or smaller process nodes having lost throughput or power efficiency. Then added the rarely beneficial AVX512 as a differentiator.
Wow that's bad. They seem to post similarily pathetic comments on GitHub: https://github.com/Xmader/musescore-downloader/issues/42#iss...

Out of curiosity, then how did you become a good software engineer? Doesn't programming follow that exact trajectory?

Excellent comment btw.

Gobuffalo is close but it's been a while since I've looked at it. What you said is has been my experience too.

Here I go about the batteries included vs micro thing. People pick Flask because it looks approachable but then DIY features in. The same thing happens with Sinatra+Rails. If the python ecosystem grows and other communities come in, maybe they will bring their culture and standards in.

Take poetry for python. It's basically, "hey ... cargo/yarn/mix/bundler all kind of figured out these ergonomics". Poetry's "why" section in the README really resonated with me. Cross pollination of ideas across tribes is _good_.

But then, I'm biased/blub-paradox of course. And it's definitely in line with the productivity/DSLs/rapid vs types/verbosity/slower modes discussion.

It's a very odd system. If you can prove you usually charge clients $1000/hour, then you can probably force the other side to pay you that fee. It therefore follows that if you think you have a very good chance of recovering legal fees, you may want to actively seek the best and most expensive lawyer possible, both to help your chances of victory and to punish your opponent if and when you win. Of course, this option is not available to people who cannot already afford the most expensive lawyer.

When the President got his legal fees paid by Stormy Daniels, his most expensive lawyer was charging about $850/hour. The judge cut it back, not because the lawyer was too expensive hourly, but because he felt the lawyer had billed too many hours.
It's frustrating because the RIAA is not just requesting that the "infringing" part of the tool is removed. They want the entire tool removed, even for the parts which there is no question of infringement. For example, the 100's of other websites that it works with.
Wow, a ~38k words essay about the command line.
But that's the point about two party systems. You are asking people to be ok with things that they might feel strongly against.

With a multi-party system, the focus goes away from these extremes to things that actually affect the congressional district.

This, when used with representational electoral college (aka, not first past the post in a state), pretty much forces all the parties to moderate down on everything. It becomes very hard to have extremist positions.
The First Amendment deals with the government, not private companies.

But if the government passes a law allowing private companies to SLAAP other parties into silence, that's a-okay, huh? Hey, it's not the government (directly) doing it!

Huge momentum in the BPF space. This is welcome news indeed. Minimizing "adoption drag" is unique in BPF's regard in that I can't think of any other major Linux initiative that has been coordinated as effectively over a relatively long period of time.

This is probably a terrible idea:

"Our ambition is to convert the first coal-fired power plants into sustainable iron fuel plants by 2030.”

They make it sound so clean with the ability to recover and reuse the iron. But if you replace coal with iron you'll need more than one coal fired plant to produce the energy to recover the burned iron. You can use wind or solar to power the electrolysis instead, but then theres no need to bother with the iron at all.

I bet they're hoping to just sequester the rust in a landfill or something.

I used to have a lot of books. Many of them acquired from cheap bookstores. I used to go to all kinds of book stores and walked out with at least a couple of them each visit. The problem was that my ability to read them was nowhere near my desire to buy them.

I wound up putting my books in storage for years, then taking them with me whenever I moved. I eventually sold all but a hundred of the best books, as I couldn't part with those. But I still only read a tiny fraction. Most of the time they sat unused.

I eventually sold or donated the remainder, as I didn't want to move them again.

I've long since stopped trying to buy physical books, and get them from the library as much as possible. If there is a book I have the desire to read or someone recommends them, I put it on hold in my library. If I really read it (most of the time I don't) or want to read it again, I just buy a copy on my Kindle. If I can't find it in the library, I will buy it on my Kindle. At least this way I don't have to carry them around wherever I go.
The examples in GP deepen and pop the stack before the sentence is over. Your example only deepens the stack-- it's like tail recursion vs non-tail recursion. I think that's what makes it a special case of deeply nested grammatical structure that's easy to understand.

There are no weird sequences of words "hated liked chased" that require backtracking to parse.
Cogeneration. It's common in cogeneration for heat to be a secondary output that makes the overall system profitable, but isn't the primary output.
Totally agree. That's why I mentioned we should have spend more on improving quality of life. Having moved from India, our brains also did this Dollar to INR conversion, that made it hard for us to spend money.

In wood working and software time is used by doing it. If you program software wrong you lose time by having to do it again. In woodworking you lose both time and materials.
You're talking about two different scales: if you're at the stage where you're choosing between selling and building on a daily basis, worrying about your recruiting pipeline is a second-order problem (if not a third-order problem).

Once you, as a founder, have the luxury of hiring (presumably because you've done step one correctly), your time is then a choice between selling and recruiting, and in the early stages of that, recruiting isn't going to be much more than trying to convince good people you already know to join your team. These people aren't going to say no based on your CI system.

Having made the mistake myself (multiple times), OP is 100% correct, and it's one of those messages that can't have any nuance, or people won't do it right. It's a treacherous vortex of failure for programmers-turned-founders: coding is much easier and more familiar than selling, so you find all sorts of reasons to write code when you should be talking to customers.
I just try to use the terms interchangeably in hypothetical scenarios so that there isn't a sense of normal association. Sometimes I use Congressman, sometimes Congresswoman. Sometimes I use Congressperson as well. I think if people are noticing then that's a clear sign to keep doing it, because you probably had a prior bias that the person doing something wrong would have been a man.
Fair point, though you could probably store all non-ASCII characters in plaintext and still get most of the benefit. I suspect UTF-8 in emails is rare overall, at least for sites that don't have certain region-limited audiences.
If solar prices keep trending the way they're trending, then we may have way more solar than we have anything useful to do with during peak sunlight hours in the relatively near future.

Using iron as a big chemical battery seems at least plausible. More so if you get to reuse existing infrastructure to turn it back into energy.

Sounds like a textbook example of why market competition is essential.
I would even say it’s highly likely. For public transport tenders in the richer parts of Europe, emissions are weighted so heavily that many, if not all, winning bids nowadays are for fully electric buses.

Older Diesel cars also are banned from quite a few city centers, but I don’t know whether that extends to large trucks.

Sounds like they bought their way out of a prison sentence?

I wonder if any of the forfeiture got rebated back to them.
Correct. There are a lot of people who considers 24x7 hustling as the only way to build a startup. Worse, many founders and VCs expect that from you. This is mostly the case in US centric startups. The work culture in Europe is much different, relaxed and life centric.
Not as an absolute. Speaking broadly, outside of this specific context, it seems obvious to me that systems which are sufficiently dysfunctional should cede their power to a better system.

In the US at least, this is laid out at the very beginning of the Declaration of Independence:

> That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government

Bringing the context back in to this discussion, I don't have a strong opinion. The power the tech companies wield is scary indeed, but the amount of political dysfunction is also pretty scary.

I suppose, since they are equally scary to me, that I'd prefer them to have equal power to act as a check against each other?
Can you just use Kotlin to avoid Android's Java, or are there instances where you need to dip into Java get stuff done?
Rookie CEO mistake. They are supposed to buy them out and then ice all their progress, move all the employees into some shitty office, increase the turnover rate til no original employees are left, and then finally slowly kill the company. That's the tech industry methodology.
Vision Is Highly Overrated
I keep hearing statements like this and I want to believe. I really, really do. I see the value in Emacs Lisp vs. vimscript immediately, though I feel that Lua in neovim is making up ground there.

I've tried evil-mode a few times over the years. Most recently I tried Doom Emacs twice. I _really_ want to experience the hype of org-mode. I want something like org-mode in my life. I am a heavy notes taker and I can see the value org-mode offers and I am willing to make the jump for it alone... But, I can't figure out how to get a proper workflow in Emacs that gets me to where I am in vim today. I just can't get it to click.

For what it's worth, I've been using vi(m) since the early/mid 2000s and my workflow is almost entirely terminal based for almost everything that I have ever done as a professional and hobbyist programmer. To the point that I feel like I cannot be as productive in ecosystems that are GUI based.
