I think you are confused. The only thing that contributes to energy usage is mining blocks, aka the block reward subsidy. Without transactions, it would still happen that way. And does, in the form of empty blocks.
People pretend that this is something new. This has been going on for a while and it wasn't in the news because those who are complaining right now weren't directly at the receiving end. The same people who went around championing how it was ok to support "no cake for gay marriage" as it wasn't affecting them.
Very well said! The systemic racism of law enforcement is just crazy in the UK but it is somewhat a taboo. It exists in statistics buried deep and never to be looked at. When I was out with some of my friends that happen to have darker skin they were stop and searched but I was told to just go, as if they thought they kidnapped me? Where are the stop and searched of the City coke heads? The tech industry really needs to pull their head out of their ar$$

> For the record, I do recycle plastic.

You don't. Nobody does. The plastic you "recycle" gets turned into lower grade plastic and so on until it gets landfilled. For plastic, the only way is down.

Steel, aluminium and glass are examples of materials that are recyclable.
Well everything in the US currently is extremely polarized. Very few people on either side are going to criticize groups on their side, as they are spending all their energy fighting the other side.

> Yet at these same companies the majority of each grad scheme cohort tend to be from basically the same five colleges/universities. Are HBCUs one of these colleges??

The resistance of the software industry (and other elite professional industries) to recruit from HBCUs is an indictment of their DIE efforts. It’s not that reasonable name changes don’t matter, it’s that they don’t matter when you refuse to fix glaring pipeline problems like narrow recruiting strategy.

Food for thought: https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2021/02/hbcus-blac...

> Yet more important than their famous alumni is the Black middle and upper-middle class, which HBCUs have almost single-handedly created. HBCUs have produced more than 80 percent of Black judges, 40 percent of Black Congress members, and roughly half of Black public-school teachers. More than 70 percent of Black doctors and dentists earn their bachelor’s degree at HBCUs.

Just before M1 it was hugely uncompetitive. Higher ended macs throttled thermally so bad that using more than browser with 10 tabs and Jetbrains IDE caused them to grind to a halt.
One of our customers brought this up with us briefly when discussing integration of our application into their infrastructure.

I had independently concluded that the complexity probably wasn't worth it, but I hadn't considered shorter sessions as a mitigating factor.

Looks like the sands of time are the best solution yet again. I can easily spin 15 minute sessions as a superior alternative to SLO when talking to a customer. Determinism is the biggest point and I can play that against security & compliance very easily in my industry.
>I have a hunch that the language would be better off being explicit about message passing and keep it separate from "invoke an async method".

What would be the benefit of this? (I haven't read the proposal in detail, but) If you can invoke an async method of an actor, it still has to be run in serial with the execution of messages to avoid races.

Besides, in the implementation I doubt that "messages" will be anything more than delayed async methods (and the implementation notes seem to support this). Actual actor systems rarely treat messages as first-class serializable entities - unless they hope to execute across multiple machines.
Just chiming in to say I love bearblog, it's a fantastic platform! I'd be interested to know how you monetise it, or if it's unmonetised, then how you plan on doing so in the future if the platform grows past a hobby project.

P.S. I understand the "Made with Bear" in the footer is part of the growth strategy and the "price" (albeit a tiny price) to pay for getting your blog hosted, is there option (paid or otherwise) to remove this, say if I wanted to host on my own domain?
I'm in the UK so maybe it is different, but lately "woke" is anyone that is seen as an enemy of the far right.

I am also in the UK and there is lots of hand-wringing about "the extreme far right" but if you gently probe what people mean by "extreme far right" they mean "Brexit" or "not electing Jeremy Corbyn".

I expect in a few months the term "ultra extreme far right" will enter the lexicon, and we'll keep adding superlatives as the term "right-wing" becomes more and more diluted and gradually encloses the entire population except for a few Momentum die-hards.

The quality of most of those is absolutely appalling though, very sparse, inaccurate, out of date, and in some cases not even in the actual language.

I'm pretty sure most people see a huge difference between a old-style MacBook Air screen and a MacBook Pro screen. The Air is a 1080p 13in display. The Pro isn't even 4k, but the difference is extremely noticeable, especially if you are looking at a document or code (even from 24-36 in away). Seeing the difference between Apple's retina display and 4k? Well, that is difficult.

> ICE’s have over a century of development behind them now. I’m not going to miss them

They will mostly disappear from cars, and (more slowly) even trucks, but they are still going to be around for a lot longer in other applications – backup generators, heavy construction and mining equipment, the military, locomotives, smaller aircraft, ships and boats, etc.

We may well start to lose some knowledge about how to design ICEs optimised for specific use cases, we aren't anywhere near forgetting how to design ICEs in the general case.
Why would anyone spend millions on what's essentially a link to a JPEG file?
I agree to some degree that learning a new language is easy, but learning a new language and understanding its intricacies that could cause issues in a program takes a whole lot longer.

It takes a whole lot less time for an experienced COBOL dev to understand a program than it takes for an experienced programmer who just learned COBOL to understand it in my experience.
The on-disk format you would probably want to use with xarray is netCDF - which is generally n-dimensional gridded data, and some metadata about what those dimensions are, the units of the data, and other miscellanies.

One way to think of xarray is as a really nice in-memory representation of a netCDF file with some pretty powerful methods for manipulating that data, in much the same way that you can think of DataFrames as a really nice in-memory representation of a csv/table with some powerful methods.

I use xarray for working with satellite imagery and weather model grids - it's a million times better than the fragile MATLAB code I used to use.
And it's a big loss to the Internet, because unlike Wikipedia, there's AFAIK no easy way to download all the content despite most of it being under the same license, and because unlike Wikipedia, site functionality is significantly impaired unless you enable their obnoxious Javascript.
'master' is better than 'main' because it successfully conveys the mental picture of the branch from which others are typically cloned. 'main' doesn't carry that connotation.

You could of course have branches that evolve in parallel, even without common code if you want. But what people almost always do is have one primary branch from which exact copies are made, given other names, then continue to evolve either more slowly (stable releases) or faster (speculative work). You could call that primary branch "primary" or "main" or "premier" or "trunk" and they all work, but "master" conveys that expectation very successfully, and that's why people tend to like that name.
The statements are logically consistent. You're incorrectly assuming he meant "only" in the first statement.

Those two statements are part of the same thread and LeCun makes it more clear in that thread. And the article says, right after the second statement: "If you read that thread, you’ll see that LeCun seems well aware of everything I’ve laid out in this post"

I have a Moonlander and a Magic Trackpad. I tried putting it in the middle and you can make it fit, but I haven't found it to be very comfortable. My keyboard is slightly tilted, so moving my hand to the middle also necessitates vertical movement, so overall I prefer it off to the right side. For minor movements I just use a mouse mapped to the keyboard and I want to try a trackball on my right as well.

Fabric seems interesting, it's a shame that it doesn't have a bigger ecosystem around it.

It seems to me like only the platform for large businesses that has managed to get a large integration ecosystem is Magento, which is losing popularity now. The other ones with big communities tend not to be suitable for bigger shops (Prestashop, Woocommerce and depending on the business, Shopify).

Sylius is trying to take over this market but the community is still young.

This should get more attention (& upvotes).
I remember installing software before app stores. Everyone was always afraid of malware but very few people I knew ever suffered from it. Most people used anti virus software, asked their friends which programs they recommended, or did some research of their own to figure out what was safe to download. All that was probably at least as effective as the “curation” that app stores provide. The problem is that now a lot of people implicitly trust apps from app stores and there is the added harm that there are now sanctioned forms of malware that serve ads, steal info and try to sell you exploitative in app purchases.
Nuclear power is a hot button topic for sure, but while I am somewhat pro nuclear myself, I have to admit there are plenty of perfectly reasonable objections to it. "On a par with Exxon" is wing-nut level cranky though.

A similar thing exists in Norway. For auto-payments you have to register every agreement in the web portal of the bank*, and only after that can they withdraw money automatically. You can also set limits on how much they can withdraw per month, and if you suspect that something is fishy you can cancel the registration forcing them to send you an invoice electronically or on paper.

I partly feel the same. I agree with you that identification with a country (patriotism/nationalism) is holding us back. However I do recognize that my upbringing has shaped me culturally and similar in my behaviour. Similarly the 3 other countries I have lived in for significant time, which have also formed my personality. I also do feel attachment to those places, but this is much more due do people and the location, not the nation.
First time I've ever heard of a 4.7B investment fund referred to as "virtue signaling, fake actions and meaningless gestures". That's an incredibly large marketing budget that you're suggesting is for the sole purpose of expressing a morally disingenuous viewpoint with the intent of communicating their good character.

Or perhaps they really believe in combating climate change and consuming only renewable energy given they've made it a primary focus who are about to reach its 3rd anniversary of being 100% powered by renewable energy in all its global facilities, including retail stores, offices & data centres that they are working with their manufacturing partners to ensure all Apple production is powered by 100% clean energy.
The term for this in the general case is Greater Fool Theory - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greater_fool_theory
White guy here, just wanted to chime in and say HELL YES, you nailed it bro. There's more of an emphasis in "tech" toward appearing "woke" than ACTUALLY SOLVING THE FUCKING PROBLEM. You nailed it with "you/they don't see us as equals [...]".

The most important word in the term "African Americans", to me, is, "AMERICANS". You're in this with us. You're our friends, our neighbors, our brothers and sisters. We're in this TOGETHER. And this woke-ism bullshit is just that: bullshit.

Changing a primary branch name from "master" to "main" isn't solving the damn problem. Execs want to do this to earn PR points and wash their hands of the issue of a lack of representation and equality in the industry as a result. It's cheaper than actually giving a shit. But the reality is that socioeconomic barriers to entry into high paying STEM roles amongst our African AMERICAN friends/colleagues is a very real problem that needs to be addressed on both a cultural and economic level.

Ya'll are every damn bit as capable as the rest of us and I'm fucking tired of seeing you thrown under the bus in this industry, especially under the guise of "woke"-ism. It's time we start tearing down these PR stunts as the falsehoods that they are and insist on real, monetary, quantifiable and results-driven investments in black communities that are damn well deserved.

And to my colleagues in the industry that are non-black (especially white): it's time we stand up and "get their back" for our black friends, colleagues and family members. We're in this together, and it's well past time we stand up for our fellow Americans. This bullshit charade needs to stop and WE have the power to move things forward into an era of REAL representation and fairness, and as such we have a RESPONSIBILITY to do it. Enough talk - it's time to act.
> in most ways, the core Java platform technologies work like other free and open programming platforms. There are, however, a few parts that are proprietary.

Yes, indeed - so many great lessons and even how they took on Amazon and won.
So, in that page, after you enter the repo name, three options appear.

1. Start the repository by creating new file: it opens a github text editor. I never used this option (what kind of savage uses github's text editor???), but to be fair it creates a default branch named "main"

2. Create a new repository from the command line: run git init, etc. You get to choose the branch name, then push it to github.

3. Push your existing local repository to github. It will get whateber branch name it already had, probably "master".

So the only people affected by the change are those who use github's text editor and chose the first option. I guess not many people do that? For the most common options you get to chose the name of the branch, that by default is "master" (not that there's anything wrong with that).
Then you probably don’t have a suitable internet connection and 2FA is not a concern to you, right?

Also, did you know (tm) that other 2FA mechanisms such as OATH or Fido/fido2 don’t involve stuff arriving anywhere, other than the actual 2fa code? You generate it locally and then type it when promoted by the remote application.

If you need 2FA, you have a computer with a suitable internet connection. If you can’t use non-SMS 2FA it’s likely you also actually have no use for it.

Authenticity how? That the user who created this has a nickname @grumpycat on foundation.app? What if I create a new such user on another platform, and sell that? Is it still authentic?

Is the domain actually-authentic-ntfs.com still available?

Edit: looks like it might be the same people that are running Twitter and Instagram accounts @RealGrumpyCat ... whether or not these are the original owners of the grumpy cat (according to Wikipedia), I've no idea.
> I think most governments would find a way to put the kibosh to this entire operation before Bitcoin became some kind of default currency in the global sense for everyone (not just for its supporters).

Not sure if you're living under a rock, but Coinbase IPO is about to happen. You think they would kibosh anything after so many financial interests depend on BTC? I remind you that even Tesla already went in.

> what governments could do is prohibit exchanges from operating in their home countries

This is the typical FUD argument of government regulation, which everybody is scared about it but: 1) it never happens or 2) if it happens, it happens slowly in some odd countries here and there (which doesn't affect BTC at all unless all governments together decided to ban it, because right now if X country bans it, the other ones are seen as more tech-innovative, e.g. see Japan which is positioning itself as the hub of the future of DeFi).

> I'm sure the tax agency will get very suspicious about the massive windfall you got that you can't properly explain away.

Most people are using P2P & DEX exchanges more, so the surveillance possibilities are getting reduced. Note, I'm not advocating for tax evasion, everyone should pay their taxes, but actually having to pay capital gains deter people from selling, which makes actually the price to not go down (and after your BTC appreciates you can benefit from that without selling, e.g. borrowing against it, or buying small things with bitcoin here and there).

> Climate change being what it is, I would be shocked if governments don't start cracking down on this sooner.

BTC is not environmentally-unfriendly, this point has been long-debunked: see https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25320652 (and even if it wasn't debunked, there are cryptocurrencies which don't have PoW: PoS or PoST don't use so much electricity).

Scott Alexander explains this as a way for upper-class people to maintain their privileges: "The whole point is to make sure the working-class white guy whose best friends are black and who marries a black woman and has beautiful black children feels immeasurably inferior to the college-educated white guy who knows that saying "colored people" is horrendously offensive but saying "people of color" is the only way to dismantle white supremacy."[0]
