The sibling comment from jeffbee is essentially correct, depending on which part of the "petroleum infrastructure" you're referring to in your comment: the price of extracting and burning fossil hydrocarbon fuels does not reflect the cost of their externalities, primarily climate change driven by CO2 emissions.

However, you are right in the sense that taking advantage of our current hydrocarbon distribution infrastructure would save capital costs versus switching to, e.g., an all-hydrogen or all-electric energy infrastructure. The trick is to get those hydrocarbons from non-fossil sources, which is a solved problem from a technical perspective but very much still unsolved from an economic perspective.
Pinterest has a huge user base. They don't need to look at the source if they have an account; the link will work fine.

And, no, most people don't bother picking a site before searching. Why would they artificially limit their results? People don't even visit amazon before searching for Amazon products.
>Reporters report on war crimes,

The reporters then face prosecution or assassination, see Assange, while the war criminals receive promotions.

>people take their leaders to account, politicians are voted out.

Which sounds nice, but "taking account" means cushy private sector jobs, and both parties carry the same general foreign policy backed by generations of state propaganda.

The "Democratic society" argument isn't much better. Two parties may lead to better treatment inside the country, but as a worldwide force it's just as flawed.

Methane doesn't seem very practical for an airplane, storing the pressurized gas in tanks seems heavy. Would you store liquid methane? Liquid methane and liquid oxygen are used as rocket propellants, not sure if that makes sense for an airplane compared to conventional liquid (at ambient temperature/pressure) fuels.

I keep hearing voice transcription is "solved", but both where I see it in consumer products (e.g. YT auto subtitles) and in dedicated transcription services I've tried it's far from solved.

Even the good translation services will randomly produce garbage, struggle with content that's not in nicely fully formed sentences, and are severely limited in language support.

If fusion power ever works it could be a useful base load source to replace coal and fission. But fusion is unlikely to ever be cost competitive with solar and wind, so I expect those sources to be used for synthesizing liquid fuel.

I don't necessarily subscribe to this point of view (I don't know what I believe; I need to think more), but allow me to play devil's advocate consider: most of the people who die from this disease are old people who have already lived their lives. The young are giving up the opportunity to live their lives by staying home to stop the spread, when they predominately aren't at risk of death. Should the young give up their lives to save the old? The young already sacrifice substantially for the old - in the United States by way of Medicare for example. The lives of many young people are completely on hold: they cannot go to school, cannot have weddings, cannot have fun, all to stop a disease that for most not-old healthy people is similar to the flu or even milder. If you're a young person you might not find this to be a worthwhile sacrifice - sacrificing years of your life to save people who have already lived "full" lives (that would be longer if not for COVID, but have made it to old age).

The vast majority of deaths are people over age 55: https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/nvss/vsrr/covid_weekly/index.htm#Ag...

Santa Claus is clearly the Great Beast spoken of in Revelations, secret Archon of the Global Leftist New World Order.

He dresses in red, the color of Communism. He has occult powers traditionally associated with witchcraft, like flight, animal familiars and mind control. He receives offerings like a pagan deity. He routinely disregards national borders and private property, making a mockery of the sovereignty of states, the rule of law and individual liberty. He distributes goods not in exchange for the profit compensation of labor as determined by a capitalist free market, but through a determination of a child's "wants" and "needs." Clearly indoctrinating children into accepting Marxist propaganda.

And finally, SANTA is an anagram for SATAN.

I mean, wake up sheeple!

Euler's identity comes from Euler's formula and that's just a way to rewrite your number into a more convenient base but it's still very much a complex number? Euler's identity just happens to give 0 for the imaginary part, you can't do that for all imaginary numbers.
To be fair, if it was true, no investigation would publically uncover that either. It would come out as some sort of lone wolf, x or y supremacists, anti-vaxx, anti-5g, nutjob.

If you allow for conspiracies to exist, it becomes harder to judge truth since all facts become subjective.

Obviously if the NSA is involved, the results won't be "NSA did it," even if they did (which they almost certainly didn't).

How else can you get good at security? I guess you could read, but at some point you'll have to practice. And I never said you need to practice with sensitive information.
You can observe the world. I'm assuming you're not locked in a room somewhere and handed a set of first principles that you have to use to reason out what the world is all about. You adopt beliefs that explain observations and successfully predict future observations. When beliefs fail to do that you abandon or refine them. It's in this process of refining beliefs that you watch out for fallacious reasoning to try to ensure that you are correctly understanding what you observed. I don't know anyone who just picks some first principles and goes from there. I agree that seems silly.
Part of it is indeed internal compartmentalization — sharing certain things on a need to know basis. As an example, I was one of two engineers in our team who had done early work making our software little endian ready (possibly without even our manager being informed; I don't recall). But I knew the work was not complete, and no further work was asked from me for more than a year. So when a MacWorld keynote rolled around, I was convinced rumors of an Intel transition could not possibly be true. What I did not know was that for the final stage of the little endian cleansing, the engineering team was further reduced in size, and on our team, the other engineer had been tasked to do the rest of the work without my involvement.

Part of it is also regular training. And that training does not just involve sticks (You can and will be fired for leaking) but also carrots — leaks hurt Apple's stock price, and since most people in a position to leak own stock, you'd be taking money out of your own pocket (and your colleagues').

Once a product has shipped, you can generally talk about it to some extent. The article linked here seems to be talking more about research, which is more problematic because it's not really tied to a specific, shipped product.

1) How would teaching people a language that compiles to JavaScript help them to avoid issues with JavaScript's stack and tooling?

2) JavaScript has an elegant and simple subset based on closures and functions that return functions. You can avoid much of the language's complexity by avoiding prototypes (except for special cases needing performance optimization), constructors, "class", and "this" and focusing on that subset instead. Teaching students this subset would cause a problem when they are exposed to codebases that heavily use prototypes, constructors, "class", and "this", but wouldn't this happen with ClojureScript as well?

I probably just need to know more about what the quirks and problems are, more specifically, that Chris Oakman is trying to avoid.

> For example, one thing that Git handles poorly is large files, and it doesn't do well with large repos, either.

To be fair though, it's a source tracker which are usually small-ish text files. It's not really meant to be a Digital Asset Manager, say.

Git can do a shallow clone as well for very large repos. Much of that deep information becomes probably useless over time, unless you're doing code archaeology.
Back when I worked in a CO the engineering goal was to be able to run the building load on gen for at least 24 hours straight before getting fuel trucks. We had weekly gen tests to validate things were working as expected.

It could be that they had to de-energizd some equipment to perform inspection and work within the facility. I know our facility had a number of procedures on how to de-energize parts of the building and inhibit the generators from feeding that area (a lesson learned in the Hinsdale CO fire years ago).

During Hurricane Katrina a number of us had to invent a procedure for de-energizing non critical equipment to reduce power load in order to keep critical services running for an extended period of time since it was clear we werent going to get utility and resupplies for awhile.
> At this point I basically view preoccupation with fallacies, presenting arguments in formal format (premise, premise, conclusion), etc. as a proxy for immaturity. That isn't how people are persuaded, that isn't how people ever were persuaded, and that isn't how people ever will be persuaded.

Escaping the rhetorical tricks that facilitate persuasion independent of the merits of a position is actually the point; the approach you are attacking is a tool for doing this for abstract systems of ideas, empirical science provides the same thing for fact claims.

> Western philosophy has been incredibly effective at tearing apart everything that exists, but utterly ineffective in building anything back up from the ashes.

The practical knowledge and technology built on the back of empirical science, a system itself built on the back of Western philosophy—and specifically an outgrowth of the exact aspect of Western philosophy you are attacking—is, more than a little “anything” that Western philosophy has provided the tools to build up from the ashes of self-delusion that it years down.

Where I am at (Austin, TX, USA) it is a sliding scale. Depending on a number of metrics (eg, rate of infection, hospital occupancy), the percentage occupancy allowed in restaurants goes up or down. And yes, when it is at stage 5, it changes to zero occupancy, allowing only to-go orders.

I have zero worries that this is part of a power grab by evil overlords; they have nothing to gain from this, unlike the power grab to make encryption have government accessible backdoors, or routing all internet traffic through NSA scrapers.

> jailing of mask violators as well

Where are they being jailed? None in the US that I know of. I'm sure there are a few people who have created such a disturbance that they had to be removed by police, but that is ancillary to the reason they are getting nabbed, such as the guy at a Costco screaming at people and threatening to hurt them because they told him to put on a mask. He was arrested (but not jailed) for threatening people, not because he didn't wear a mask.

Yes, the shutdowns are having bad consequences for a lot of businesses. There is a pandemic after all, and pandemics cause negative consequences.

> mounting evidence that mask mandates don't work and/or make the problem worse

I'm sure such studies exist, but there are plenty that contradict your claim, and I do not believe there is a trend in your direction. There are also people who believe condoms not only doesn't reduce the spread of AIDS but makes it worse [1]. Otherwise smart people can believe also sorts of outrageous stuff if it comports with their existing belief system.

There's good reason to think life is not going to arise on planets around M stars. Our sun is quite bright compared to the typical star, is already gone through about half its time on the main sequence, and as the Sun continues to brighten the Earth will become uninhabitable in about 1 billion more years.

Moreover, life originated early on Earth. This suggests either that more than one extremely rare event is needed to get from life to us, or that the conditions for OoL do not persist for very long (ammonia, for example, is rapidly destroyed by solar radiation.)
The company isn't a charity. If a search change demonstrably has a negative effect on company earnings (even if users like it) it will almost certainly be reversed. I don't think they run an experiment once every three months, I think they are testing continuously, including A/B testing (some users get the change, others don't,).
This is a great point. Heat is always an issue since our Mac minis are always racked up. Depending on the theatre location, it can get quite hot in the pit. We’ve had some computers die in the past from suspected heat issues, so the relative coolness of the M1 Macs is a welcome improvement.
> No we can't, because what do people do in this scenario? They make a new commit that fixes the tests, but leaves a long chain of previous commits broken.

Same thing will happen with merges -- one can try to argue (as you have done) that with merges it will be less bad, because you may on average end up with fewer broken commits -- and I don't think that is implausible. But that is basically just saying your existing way to bisect is not fully reliable and you fear using rebase would make it quantitatively noticeably worse. What I am saying is it can and should be fully reliable, and this is not theoretical either.

I enjoy discussing different workflows with people with a different outlook and experience and who have put a decent amount of thought into it, as you clearly have. But I still have to note that there is a certain irony here: you have something which by your own admission is not completely reliable; i.e. not all your merges in master have passed CI and you will have some (hopefully small) proportion of commits that you'll need to manually bisect skip because they are bad for one reason or other and you won't know in advance. You are adamant that rebase-based workflows are bad (partly) because you fear that they will greatly exacerbate such problems and you don't seem to think it's practically possible to completely avoid them to start with.

But I am arguing from plenty of real-life experience with a workflow, which is incidentally rebase-based (but the same guarantees would hold just as well if I moved it to a purely merge based approach) where I a) know that every "merge" to master has been fully tested before it lands b) can reliably bisect over ~years of commits with a simple git alias, without having to ever manually bisect skip bad commits[+]. And by construction, not because I hope that devs will generally have tested their commits sufficiently manually or are diligent about fixing merge conflicts in a way that does not result in intermittent broken commits. So whilst several of your other reasons are perfectly valid (long-lived branches), you can maybe see why this one is a bit amusing to me.

> (Also in a big enough codebase with enough collaborators it becomes impractical to require CI to pass against the absolute tip of your shared development branch before merging, because in the time it takes to run CI there will always have been more changes landing in that shared branch).

It's not impractical at all, in fact if your company pays me for it I'm more than happy to set it up for you :)

Alternatively shoot me an email and I'll be happy to explain the gist of it (including how to completely avoid the problem you mention above).

[+] Of course assuming nothing was broken at the meta level, e.g. no one accidentally temporarily misconfigured CI, so some stuff that should have been didn't get tested.

BOOM! Studios has announced a new Firefly spin-off comic book series, titled A Brand New Verse, that's set 20 years after the Serenity film and focuses on the new crew of the same ship, with a blood connection to the old one. Here's the official synopsis:

Set 20 years after the events of Firefly, Serenity soars the 'Verse once again with a new captain – Emma, the daughter of Wash and Zo !

The old crew of Serenity has gone their own way and now Emma is working to prove herself to Zo , alongside a new crew of castaways and misfits just trying to stay afloat.

But when Serenity takes a job from a familiar face, they discover that their new, living, breathing cargo is far more than they bargained for…and might bring them into conflict with Alliance once again!

Josh Lee Gordon (Firefly: Bad Company) and Fabiana Mascolo (Yasmeen) begin a new era for Joss Whedon's Firefly with First Appearances of an all new cast, new adventures and shocking new surprises!
