People used to think that productivity advances would lead to a 10 hour work week. I worry that overproduction of energy will be effectively impossible. Without some profit motive, extra energy would be likely be diverted to cryptocurrency schemes and the like.
Usually those who advocate unions now are the ones who would be on board with it in all its forms. So far too left to have success in today's Western politics. That's convenient for the people on the other side.

But there's a much larger contingent of people who are on-board with collective bargaining and better worker conditions while not necessarily liking the most prominent unions. There's not much of a voice for these people yet.
Methane is a far worse greenhouse gas than CO2, and a major part of emissions from existing gas turbines is small amounts of methane leaking before it's burnt.

So, even if the methane is derived from captured atmospheric carbon, it still wouldn't be carbon neutral.

Yeah, that's an unambiguous sign you've dunning-krugered your independent thinking ability.
We just disagree then. In my view, most conspiracy theorists actually deeply investigate if the conspiracy is true, they just don't have the tools, knowledge or intelligence necessary to rebuke the arguments themselves so they believe the conspiracy is true. This is more work than most people do when faced with any kind of claim from an authoritative source.

The main reason some conspiracies get more "believers" than others, in my opinion, is because they're contrarian signals, so they'll attract contrarian people, and like with anything, most people will only explore the surface level stuff because that's enough for their contrarian itches.
An idea for lottery payouts that are fun for a lot more people. Set a top-prize limit - say $50M. Now suppose the jackpot has risen to $200M. When someone claims the top prize, pay them the $50M. Then select 150 more winning numbers, randomly picked from the numbers sold, and pay each $1M. Or pay out 1500 $100,000 winners.

They took the opportunity to move some of the infrastructure from C to Racket itself:

Mostly, we did reimplement the C stuff in Racket. The I/O
subsystem, the concurrency subsystem (which includes the
scheduler for “green” threads, Concurrent ML-style events,
and custodians), and the regexp matcher were all rewritten
in Racket. Those pieces followed the rewrite of the macro
expander in Racket.

So there was a slowdown until those pieces matured. But now they get the benefit of having all those pieces in higher level of abstraction and more accessible to Racket programmers.

> Yet it is not always right, and you can give yourself a huge advantage by questioning it for yourself.

Assuming you have a reason to. If the majority assumed the shape of the earth was a cube based on the information they had at the time, and you came along and noticed something to refute that, of course that is valuable.

But if you are refuting that simply because the majority assumed it, that doesn’t seem useful.

People have a limited amount of time on earth, and using the majority’s assumptions is a valuable heuristic for not wasting resources (time) coming to the same conclusion.

"Questioning someone's beliefs" doesn't have to mean "tell the idiot why I'm right and they're wrong in the form of a series of questions".

If you ask with sincere interest and an open mind, and avoid passing judgment on the answers you get (including with nonverbal cues), the person you're questioning will generally feel flattered, not attacked. This is how good journalists get people to open up to them.

I don't think that the OS concept amnesia will happen. Osdev is still alive and well for new hobby OSes, and there are plenty of people who dig through old software archives, so new ideas will keep being discovered and "new" ideas will keep getting rediscovered. What we really need to do is to document the non-written histories, computing cultures, and ideas, to ensure that they aren't lost to the inevitable march of time.
A fun post. I liked seeing some things I knew summarized and some things I didn't know. It is fascinating to me that functional programming techniques and object oriented techniques become intersecting once you know enough about the two. The aversion some parts of the functional programming community have to object oriented is more about how it manifests in particular popular languages. People are dutifully intrigued by the CLOS or Smalltalk. Things that are function like should probably be modeled as functions and things that are object like should probably be modeled as objects.

Visitor patterns are a kind of fold, Functions as Closure objects, the various formulations of iterators and stream transformers. The relationship of existential types to objects was (is?) a hot research topic.

> The second component of independent-mindedness, resistance to being told what to think, is the most visible of the three. But even this is often misunderstood. The big mistake people make about it is to think of it as a merely negative quality. The language we use reinforces that idea. You're unconventional. You don't care what other people think. But it's not just a kind of immunity. In the most independent-minded people, the desire not to be told what to think is a positive force. It's not mere skepticism, but an active delight in ideas that subvert the conventional wisdom, the more counterintuitive the better.

I've found quite a lot in my career that often people mistake understanding someone elses line of thought as acceptance of such a thought. This invariantly upsets someone that to be quite frankly isn't mentally equipped (and no I not using that a euphemism for stupid, I mean they literally cannot have conversations about ideas and that maybe due to a number of reasons that have nothing to do with their intelligence) will become upset and then you end up in an argument and the conversation is derailed.

Also simply examining pre-conceptions of why a problem exists also seems to upset some. Normally because you are undermining their authority in one manner or another or they have accepted the initial pre-conception cannot be incorrect because it is normally considered to be inevitable.
Having a well defined "fixed" environment (i.e. container), which you can also use to "tryout" some stuff without needing any installations on your system makes this already worthwhile.

Yeah we got our rooster from a gentleman who got him from a fancy poultry breeder here in Ontario. ("Precision Plymouths"). He was a show quality bird and absolutely stunningly beautiful, but also the guy had done some "training" work with him. He was very timid with people, and not aggressive at all. And he had come from a farm where he was just one of a few roosters and just seemed pleased as punch to have a few ladies of his own without any competition :-)
It's not. We also teach teachers how to teach, for instance. No one is born with all their skills and knowledge. Critical (or independent) thinking is a skill just like any other.
A lot of attempts being independent-minded end up just being contrarian. It is after all much less of an investment. It gets really tiring to talk to such people after a while.
The Evolution of Thin Client Computing: From Mainframes to Zero Clients
One could score very highly in these metrics without actually getting an ounce of work done. The inverse is also true. Scary.
This is wholly bizarre because these are in no way productivity measures. These are measures of software usage, which is being (wrongly) used as an correlation for productivity.

I wonder what the real motive is, because surely no one who implemented this actually believes it measures productivity?
re: Amazon's union-busting efforts.

This is one of the reasons I feel the pendulum has maxed. That said, this takes us straight to the familiar for/against discussion, just with a sharper edge. The union busting debate needs to be had too, but it doesn't tell us much about the type of union they want to build and what that means.

The linked article (thanks) is another case in point, I think. It talks about union busting. Ways in which (like your quote) working conditions aren't good. ... OK.

I don't mean to disparage... IMO, the elephant in the room isn't being addressed. What would a "union win" in amazon (or other young megacorp) mean? More pay, how much more, how would that work?

Let's compare to another field: sports. The UFC is currently experiencing player union agitations. What a "union win" looks like is fairly defined. Other sports leagues are unionized. The realistic range of outcomes is understood.

Forget the conflict side for a moment, what's the goal?

OT: But wouldn't be surprised to see Docker Desktop for Mac running on M1 in 3-6 months.

Been without a personal laptop for close to a year now, mostly using my work laptop or personal desktop... and have been considering the M1, but likely won't pull the trigger without better Docker support. I've found WSL2+Docker support to be excellent and hope to see similar levels of integration with OSX before too long.

Using the CLI to connect to a VM isn't so bad, did this a lot before Docker Desktop was even a thing, though I generally just ran an SSH shelled into the VM full time. With VS Code's remote extension, it's roughly the same either way.
>It's not a power source. It's a different battery.

It's also (sort of) equivalent to exporting oil, in a sense. Some country recieves it by ship, pumps it into a tank, and uses it as a source of energy.

Obviously it's generated from cheap electricity rather than pumping geological deposits, but I suspect that hydrogen will displace LNG.

The fraction of people in the US who genuinely believe that Biden is a communist must be in the single digit percent. The fraction that understand he isn’t but use that as an exaggeration for rhetorical effect is higher, but still not the majority. However, jokes like “let’s ask ‘Americans’ to distinguish these” implies that conflating Biden-ism and communism is a mainstream consensus opinion, which is absolutely wrong.

I see a lot of stuff about Reichsbürger and similar movements in German media; should we conclude anything from that about “what Germans believe” ?

But the US being signatory to something does not mean that everybody else is a signatory too.

The closest to that I could actually find is the World Intellectual Property Organization for trademarks.

But afaik copyrights and patents entirely depend on separate registrations in the individual countries, the only thing the WIPO helps with patents is simplifying the patent application process by filing it in multiple countries for the applicant, but those filings can still be denied by the individual countries. [0]

In that context I just find it a bit curious how American "trademark" theft of EU PDO is handwaved away with "no jurisdiction", yet the American government still insists that its patents, trademarks and IP be respected everywhere around the world, even in places where it too has no jurisdiction.

>Optane in consumer devices is in a weird place. Write durability does not matter, SSD manufacturers reduce rewrite count with every new generation in the name of the cheaper prices and users are happy to accept that downgrade (see Samsung 980 Pro vs Samsung 970 Pro for a recent occasion).

The odd thing about rewrite count is that it shrinks very quickly the bigger your drive is. In the past you used to have a 128GB boot SSD and install a few games on it. This meant that you constantly deleted and reinstalled games on that low capacity SSD increasing the rewrite count.

Nowadays you can get 500GB SSDs for a decent price. If you can install every game then you might never have to rewrite data on it through uninstallation/installation. A lot of files are only written once and then never changed. With greater capacity you can have more "write once" files.
The Vulkan drivers should be at least as available as OpenGL on both Windows and Linux. So it would make sense to target Vulkan and thus benefit from a shared codebase.

And if their Mac client base is not big, it should make even more sense to experiment with MoltenVK (lower risk).

Anyway, they probably have good reasons for that choice. Just wondering what those are. Perhaps Oracle is not big on relying on community projects like MoltenVK?
World War II wasn't much of a fight over "values" either, that was largely a propaganda device. Certain powers simply wanted more stuff than they already had, and other powers disagreed. Britain declared war when Germany took a Polish port, not when Hitler got in power or when he started rounding up Jews.
I find nonconformist thinking rather isolating and open-mindedness rather helpful, but it does sometimes invite naiveté. Therefore I like his advice to secretly think through if a statement is correct. But I suspect there is more than one kind of "thinking for yourself", because it's not always useful. Perhaps one has to think for himself BUT at the same time be very tuned in to what the others believe in order to have ideas that have potential?

If I remember correctly General Mills had a songbook that was even more insane.
This is kind of what I meant by pendulum swing.

In recent generations, unions have been mostly receding. Being on board regardless of form is a feature of this. Union politics was largely concerned with holding some ground. Getting specific about form is something you do on the way up, moreso than down.

Why would you want to talk about how each individual is multi-faceted, complex, and full of contradictory beliefs when you can conveniently categorize them into conventional and independent? Ah, I know the answer: because hackers come in only one flavor: independent; and everyone else who doesn't fit the description is a conventional thinker.

It allows me to write synchronous code and execute it asynchronously. The mechanism is different - but the purpose is the same. I'm not endorsing the implementation. But I do use it, because it is way better than writing asynchronous code.

I would hope that most people's production images are being built & pushed to an image repository in CI, not from somebody's laptop.

A lot of the official base images on Docker Hub are dual architecture now (both x86-64 and arm64), so if devs on M1 can build arm64 images locally from those, develop on those, and then have CI build the production x86 image, things should be more or less fine.

Of course, I'm sure a lot of people rely on 3rd party base images that are still just x86-64. So I expect there's going to be a pretty painful transition period where Docker works on M1 Macs but a lot of popular images don't.

Or maybe Docker's official response will be a Docker for Mac release that still runs x86 in a qemu VM or something, and arm64 Docker on M1 Macs will remain an oddity for a while. But I hope they lean into improving tooling for dual-architecture support, because I think we're increasingly moving into a dual architecture world, and not just because of the M1: as ARM becomes more popular in production, I'm sure more people are going to also find themselves in the opposite situation with x86 workstations & arm64 production servers.
No matter what might be added to fill in these gaps, you will always need something more.

The Two Second Website
PG had lots of terms, e.g., independent minded, and lots of proposed connections among them.

Okay, for some approaches to science, the next step is to define numerical measures of the terms and then to state the proposed connections mathematically. Then gather a lot of data and test the connections.

E.g., not from PG, but as people rise in organizations, do they become more conservative, e.g., in PG's terminology, more conventional minded? Pursuing just that one question scientifically was my wife's Ph.D. dissertation.

Point: Addressing scientifically all of PG's proposed connections would be a lot of work! And my guess is that many of the connections, including ones seemingly nearly obviously true -- would be very tough to settle scientifically.
