If I could snap my fingers I would just copy the strategy by the anti-nuclear movement. As an strategy, theirs were both a great success, market friendly, easy for politicians to support and economical.

First step is to forbid creating new fossil fueled power plants for increased capacity. This has zero impact right now on the grid, but sets the road for the industry. Projects created before this date is not impacted.

Second step is to set a deadline where existing plants need to be demolished. The date get set around the time of existing plans for investments to be recovered. This makes current investors happy, while we also get a definitive date where the plants will be gone.

At this point we are done. New investors will look at the market and see an opportunity for increase demand for energy down the road, and at the same time see old capacity that will need to be replaced. There is no tax nor tax politics involved. No decisions regarding pipelines, trains or ships. Just two political decisions that has zero impact on anyone right now.

There’s a close enough to fixed amount of money people have to spend. Advertising doesn’t make them spend more (or less) of their budget, it just trys to convince people to buy your widgets instead of mine. When I need a phone, or a pair of sneakers, or a bottle of vodka - I’m going to buy one. Your flashy ad may convince me to buy your brand, but it’s not like I’d choose to not buy anything just because nobody advertised it to me. That even works of discretionary spending and impulse buys - I have a limited “uncommitted budget”, so maybe your ads could convince me to buy a new set of golf clubs instead of taking a trip to Vegas, but it’s all the same money that gets spent.

Even if you fully believe that privacy invasive targeted advertising is “the most effective” advertising, if it goes away the second best form of advertising will then become “the most effective” and will eat the lions share of the advertising spend. Or perhaps the market will dictate that instead of “targeted ads”, the most effective strategy will be to split the old google/Facebook ad spend across a combination of older (or newer) ad forms.

Toyota still want to sell Corollas. TAG still want to sell watches. So long as there’s a form of advertising that’s better than not advertising at all, the aggregate of all competitive sales teams will work out how to soak up all my budget somehow. Something will still me the most effective advertising. They’ll still spend their money to get more of that.

(If it turns out to be billboards or movie product placements or something, that’ll suck for web people who’s only possible way to sell advertising is banner ads, but that’s a different argue,ent...)

> Being the developer of Rails and ActiveRecord and fostering and milking that

It's not entirely fair thing to say as DHH's rise to fame was really on both fronts in parallel, actually I remember that one of the selling points for ruby/RoR thing early on was that "the basecamp was built on it". Most of people (me included) never even heard of Ruby before they've made it popular, and they could do that partially thanks to having an already very popular product built on it and big following of fans to their approach to business and software. It was before "the lean" ideas got popular, so it was all very new and revolutionary.

Agree, but these are not just demoscene fonts, for example I also found the fonts from the original Lemmings game(s) (https://github.com/ianhan/BitmapFonts/blob/main/lemblue.png) which were of course part of a commercial project. But as the games themselves are available as "abandonware" on various sites and Sony (who is sitting on the rights to the Lemmings franchise and not doing much with it) hasn't objected to that yet, I wouldn't worry too much...
Write a simple shell package with resholve
I get it, the author wants to make a political statement and was trying to find a target to use to write an article. You can say that technology to realistically render hair and skin is currently limited as it can't accurately represent other ethnicities yet. Or you can maybe even say it's biased as people who created the technology made it represent people like themselves. But saying that technology is racist it's beyond ridiculous.
It is exactly the same:

Armed insurrections planned on Twitter/Facebook in the middle east (the Arab Spring): widely celebrated in the USA.

Armed insurrections planned on Parler/Gab in the USA: better shut those down completely.

The distinction between these two is precisely political, the view on the legitimacy of the conversation is premised on whether you view the government as legitimate or not.
We had shutdown hooks on our preemptive VMs, but we often had cases (at least weekly), where it looked like they failed to run (failing to unregister from cluster). Any explanation?
You have no idea what I am talking about because you don't engage with upstream Xorg and seem stuck in a "works on my machine" fallacy.

Your attitude to the problem is a big contributor to Xorg upstreams demise.

The biggest is, of course, that none of the maintainers wanted to deal with that dumpster fire anymore and jumped ship, and no one in the know is dumb enough to pick up the torch. But, a delusioned userbase is very unhelpful in recruiting new blood.

Way back in the day I read either the 1st or 2nd edition of this book: https://www.amazon.com/Computer-Graphics-Principles-Practice...

It's a classic in the computer graphics field, like Knuth is for algorithms. I'd recommend it alongside the OP's new book.

EDIT: But for anyone who is reading this wanting to learn about practical computer graphics, CG:P&P is NOT the resource to use! Learning the low-level rasterization algorithms used in computer graphics is an important thing to learn at some point, just like learning assembly language provides valuable insights even if you never touch a line of assembler again. But if you actually want to write graphics code on modern hardware with GPUs, I'd highly recommend Real Time Rendering instead: https://www.amazon.com/Real-Time-Rendering-Fourth-Tomas-Aken...

In my case I'd spin up a virtual box with DOS 6 installed and a copy of QBasic, because hacking away at the GORILLA.BAS source code to try make my bananas more explosive was how it all started for me at a very young age.

I've wanted to attend FOSDEM for years, but because I'm usually short on time at this time of the year and the logistics I haven't so far.

I'm glad that I'll finally be able to go, but am still unsure of the socialization story (my main reason to attend conferences). They say there will be chat rooms for each track, but will there also be (official) voice/video chats? Text seems like it would be pretty cumbersome and non-personal and my online event experience has shown that official Jitsi/Mumble/BBB rooms are the nicest.
I hate how programming has become just another business process
One of the things I love about personal projects is that you don't need to explain what you did to anyone in a standup. You can devote your energy to the programming instead. I understand in a business context that it is helpful to explain what you did to someone else but let's face it, it also robs some of the joy of the process. Am I wrong here? Isn't programming a more creative endeavour than we think?

Choosing Between Object and Block Storage
Economists clearly articulated last year that governments should buy capacity, not doses directly. Because that just pushes prices up (and we see the conflicts about fulfilling orders).

Furthermore. Since the process of vaccine development and manufacturing is closed, done in the shadows, no one had any idea where the bottleneck will be. (Yes, some companies bet on their vaccine and started expansion while the development was ongoing. And Derek speculates that the supply chain is at full capacity, but ... we don't know, and again, we could have been expanding that too exactly since a year ago.)

That's a weird area to to want to de-socialise costs! If trucking costs go up to cover wear, urban end-users probably won't notice much cost difference (bit of change to last-mile infrastructure at most) while remote communities would be bled dry then cutoff (where the "last-mile" location is impractical for tracks). And probably the same fate for small and medium agricultural concerns who won't necessarily be able to privately link up to the network.

Graphics was somewhat more complicated back in the day. In the days before we had enough memory to hold a full screen framebuffer, there was a lot of magic going on with cathode ray tubes, video signals, dedicated hardware sprite engines, memory access clock cycles, using interrupt handling to "race the beam" and so on.

It's not like modern display panels and HDMI signals and digital protocols are simple, but you don't have to go into the details to understand how pixels and framebuffers work.

If you're trying to explain how pixels work, going back to 1980s era technology is a detour into arcane technical details that aren't really relevant any more. They're pretty cool to read about if you're into retro computer technology but they don't have much educational value or relevance to the modern day.
Add to that the fact that weimar republic inflation of the 1920s was a factor behind the rise of nationalism, and every country is printing money right now at unprecedented rates.
But probably true.

Though the real screw-up was not being more responsive to complaints of faulty hardware. It was unreasonable for developers to expect retail product levels of reliability from the DTK, but it was even more unreasonable for Apple to expect it. Therefore Apple should have expected a high fault rate and been ready with a low friction, no-excuses exchange policy.
Sounds very good and no catch(?):

POWERPASTE thus has a huge energy storage density,” says Vogt. “It is substantially higher than that of a 700 bar high-pressure tank. And compared to batteries, it has ten times the energy storage density.” This means that POWERPASTE offers a range comparable to – or even greater than – gasoline. And it also provides a higher range than compressed hydrogen at a pressure of 700 bar.

> the US regulatory environment is less relevant than the strictest regulatory environment in which you do or hope to do business.

I would really recommend that you become more informed on the issue of EU anti-trust enforcement. I just did a bunch of research myself.

Here is a source from quoting the EU president himself.

https://www.reuters.com/article/us-eu-competition-juncker/ju...

"Juncker said the Commission had only ever blocked 30 mergers and approved more than 6,000."

https://www.jonesday.com/en/insights/2020/06/eu-court-raises...

Source showing how weak EU anti-trust enforcement is

After doing more research, is clear that the EU is doing much less enforcement against merges than even I previously thought, and I am now going to claim that the EU regulators aren't doing much enforcement either.

Really I am quite surprised at how little the EU is doing, and should have looked that up much earlier, instead of taking your initial claim at face value.

Furthermore, I can only find a single example, in the history of EU anti-trust law, of the EU blocking a US merger. And that was in 2001 regarding a GE acquisition.

If there is only a single example, in the history of EU anti-trust law, of the EU blocking a EU merger, a whole 20 years ago, then it is pretty clear that the EU is not doing much enforcement against US mergers.

So my point stands. You concede that the US is not doing much enforcement of anti-trust law. And the fact that the EU has only ever been successful in doing so a single time, 20 years ago, means that the EU is pretty irrelevant to this conversation as well.
well I've worked long grueling hours - but good service is important because if you are paying money for something you don't want to be treated badly at the same time you are paying money - which has been my experience sometimes in Denmark, although I think the service level has improved in the last decade (maybe I just look more important with age)
Stellisoft launches interesting web development tool
Great post!
I really enjoyed reading through it
PS Dont worry about negative comments here
The author makes the point that most, if not all, models developed for modelling and rendering human beings are focussed on 'white people', then calls this racist.

We need to push back on this incorrect and damageable use of the term 'racist', which is a very strong and charged word with a specific meaning.

My take on this bias in computer models is much more mundane: historically this is an industry made of people of European origin ('white') making products for mostly people of European origin, very often inspired by stories of European origin. People tend to reproduce what they see in the mirror and among their peers, and use the stories from their own culture. This is a bias, of course, but it is not racist and there is nothing inherently wrong with it.
In a nutshell, smaller transistors draw less energy at a given operating frequency. According to TMSC the 5 nm transistors draw 30 % less power as compared to their 7 nm ones [1]. Of course the devil's in the details, but a large fraction of the performance and efficiency gains can be attributed to the process.

This article feels more like it's trying to explain why centralization is a thing, and less trying to show why centralization is a good thing. In a way this is still true, centralization will always overpower any opposing force for decentralization, so there's not much of a point in making things decentralized. But the entire article hinges on this one point, which I want to address:

"Technology is a concentrating force. It always has been."

Technology is not a concentrating force. This is a misattribution. The economy, more specifically the economies of scale is a concentrating force. Technology may have the symptom of a trend towards concentration of power, but it itself is not the cause.

What technology does do is provide businesses with unprecedented global reach, and this is the driving force behind the remaining points in this article and the observation of massive centralization under technology. Technology gives you, amongst other things, the power to centralize, but is not the reason for centralization itself.
I think people like tipping because they like this amount of power: enough to feel a bit powerful over other people, but also not so much they have a responsibility to carry.

That's why you're not allowed to tip 0% if the services rendered were worth 0%.

> Art and meaning doesn't come from "efficiency".

Indeed. Efficiency for what purpose and by what metric? We all know that once a metric is applied things not covered by the metric get squeezed out.

Someone on here used the phrase "self-Taylorism" to cover this kind of activity, which I think is very apt. Taylorism was the beginning of manufacturing productivity research, but we've moved on from there.

It's also reminding me of the failures of high modernism and Corbusier's "the house is a machine for living"; the result of which was houses that were neat but inhospitable and inevitably customised in "inefficient" ways by those that actually lived in them to make them livable.
There was a narrative that was pushed by Davos and others that advanced economies should be structured around services. I talked to economics students in Manchester at some point and they sneered at me, when I argued that Germany was in a much better place compared to most places in Europe because it hadn’t lost all of its industrial base. They called that thinking backward. One other reason I can think of is that a large majority of decision makers in Europe and US are non-technical and/or even openly hostile to practical aspects of industry. So everything operates with multiple levels of indirection between stakeholders and technical people.
