Maybe that's just me but in college my brain was high frequency [0] but low clarity. Some people might have wiser approaches (I've seen a few I believe, where they would be calm and try to see large and abstract without rushing). 10 years after college my thinking changed and instead of sweating hard I started to understand things at a higher level without this hectic feeling. It requires less efforts and at the same time let's you reach more creative, larger solutions. (pretty counter intuitive when it started to happen).

[0] and I've seen this on dev discords where 20yos goes into all directions trying to apply all configuration of 'lessons of the day' in random ways and high stress. Very different brain activity.

ps: this brings a lot of questions about the psychology of learning.. how much do you learn because of youthful ego, social status desire, peer pressure, elder validations, future anxiety versus joyful and creative ways to see things and discuss ideas.
> Now if you have physical server and you want to use it fully you want to run ALL kinds of apps on it. What is hard is that running multiple apps, you run into issues with dependencies. Ideally you run each app on different server or separate OS then you don't have that problem, but that is costly and if one app sits idle you waste money you spent on the server.

I mean yeah, it was sortof a problem on late 90s x86 kit. But its not been a real problem for a good 20 years. virtualisation solved that issue. Modern processors (well not even modern ones, any xeon from the last 10 years) will have virtualisation optimization in them.

Docker allows you to not be as disciplined when it comes to your build environment. This means that you can let developers ship any old shit. This will give you a short term productivity boost, and longterm tech debt.

> your server does not need to have any special config for your special app

yeahna, thats not really true. You still need to manage secrets (docker has no real security bits built in, barring cgroups) you still have to manage volumes, and you still have to manage connectivity. Not to mention resource discovery.

The biggest lie that K8s and docker told us is that you didn't need a coherent plan for your infra. To be efficient, you need to make your apps work on the same dependencies, same platform, and re-use as much as possible.

> This is one reason that I only semi-facetiously say that, to the many forms of prejudice we’ve all been alerted to (racism, sexism, ageism, lookism), we should add “voiceism,” a coinage that refers to the destructive stereotypes and preconceptions triggered by the way people sound when they speak.

We should add an infinite list to that.

The truth of the matter is that few men care as much about “discrimination” or “præjudice” as they say they do. Rather, they only care when it's based on whatever category they've arbitrarily taken an interest in.

Yes, accent is one of those that often goes unnoticed, so is height, æsthetic value of one's face, haircut, depth of one's voice, and an endless lists of things I can mention.

That the auctor of this article focuses on accent in particular, suggests a particular interest in accent above al the others.
YJIT: Building a New JIT Compiler Inside CRuby (To Be Presented at MoreVMs'21)
i had the same sentiment about partitionmagic, which managed to draw a very convincing windows 95 gui lookalike running under dos: https://winworldpc.com/screenshot/c2a66b5e-6e28-3811-c3a7-c2...
It seems like you can only make this mistake if you assume that Intel CPUs always use the frequency from the CPUID name for timer ticks, which seems like a dangerous assumption even today (I'd love to see someone test this on a CPU with an overclocked BCLK).
So, I just checked, during the past ~6 months I got the following:

- Clubhouse invite

- A security code from a trading exchange

- My mobile internet provider telling me I reached 80% of my monthly data budget

- A few codes to validate my phone number when creating new accounts on platforms

And that's basically it.
I won't pretend to be an expert in the matter and, therefore, I won't share any opinion whether magic mushrooms should be legal or not.

What bothers me is the way people argue about such problems.

The common argument goes like this:

---

1) alcohol is as bad (worse than?) as X

2) alcohol is legal

therefore per analogiam:

3) X should be legal.

---

I'm fine with this reasoning, but one could also reverse the argument:

---

1') X is bad as alcohol

2') X is illegal

therefore per analogiam:

3') alcohol should be illegal.

---

Both stances are consistent and depend on other views. I believe the discussion should rather focus on the role of the law in the public life. Maybe "everything should be legal", but with some age clauses / agreement of a medical doctor? Maybe the law should be replaced with other measures?

What really saddens me though is when people advertise recreational use of possibly dangerous substances. It applies to all kinds of recreational drugs. There always will be person claiming that X solves problems/takes your conscience to next level/cure COVID/whatever. In case somebody attacks their stance, saying there is no valid research on the topic (but rather other way around), they will tell you of a conspiracy in the research community/government funding/whatever. Even if there is such a conspiracy, it doesn't validate the argument.

Please don't advice people to take drugs (or drink alcohol BTW), even if they work for you.
WebAIM's WCAG 2 Checklist
Throw the first stone. 20 years ago I wrote code like this, probably some is still in use.
The demand for lisp in emacs is overrated by a vocal minority. Most people using emacs do it for the things which are not lisp-specific. The features, the plugins, the community. All that works without touching elisp as a user. And even the swallow elisp-contact that most user have when writting their init.el could be done with any other language.

Though, it's true that the many elisp-code around usca heavy burden. But how much of that is actually still used? And how fast would a propsering community replace them really? Hacking-friendly tools tend to have a wild growing ecosystem. Emacs itself is not shy of having many clones of similar featursets and regular new implementations of old but still popular features.

In that view I don't thing a new language would a real problem long term for the prosperty of emacs. It might be even a benefit, as it mixes in new blood, more people and a broader ecosystem from outside the emacs-scope.
until you start doing stuff to disk, then everything starts getting hard.
Keep in mind my hint at costs was purely descriptive, not normative: As we talk about market economies, neither of which currently is interested in nuclear proliferation, the LCOE of each energy source is probably the most important decision factor.

The same is true for your scenario, though: Why should the rich countries export one of the most expensive energy sources to the poor countries, when e.g. onshore wind is right now already on par with brown coal?[0]

> Rust code is just very big. This seems to come with the territory.

As someone that uses Rust every day to program STM32s with 128KB of space... i... disagree...

Rust is the only high level language I know that allows me to customize the language run-time at will, allowing me to provide my own unwinding, threading, memory allocation, ... runtimes, to be able to program tiny machines as if I was just programming any normal one.

With other languages either I can use the standard library implementation, or I can't use the standard library and some language features at all.

With Rust, I can't use the standard library implementation for desktops, but I can just swap its backend by an embedded one, and am still able to re-use all the high level code, libraries from crates.io that use it, etc.
Pretty much none of the cookie notices are legally valid, or we'd all have been trained to just click "no" on all of them (as "no" has to be as easy, or easier, to use than "yes")

And while you may be able to block cookies, are you able to block canvas fingerprinting? IRL tracking? the gdpr also applies to every bit of life, to the third parties a doctor can use to process your medical data, to the third parties having access to surveillance cameras in a parking lot, to the legal notifications required when your covid 19 test data or contact tracing data might be breached.

not advising just sharing my opinion that it's super refreshing to get out of reality using LSD/shrooms once every 2-3 months. Been doing this for years and noticing much less side effects than with alcohol/cigarettes. everybody is different though.

You're correct that I didn't just drug myself with mushrooms, but they certainly didn't help. Marijuana was the main cause. And I likely would have stopped myself sooner if it wasn't for ignorant people telling me I couldn't and wouldn't get seriously ill from taking these substances.
Not even niche web services. Yesterday Amazon insisted I tell them the code they sent to a phone I haven’t owned in 5 years.

Yes, the forced shift to a lot of remote working and thus meetings has worked out a real divide between those who understand and care about not being annoying in an online meeting and those who don't.
Since PSD2 every German bank I know moved to 2fa mobile applications instead of SMS, I expected the same for the rest of the EU. I'm quite sure that delivery company also work with emails (at least that's the case of DHL, UPS, DPD, etc, they always send me notifications via emails).
Kids orient you to poop in a whole new way. I wouldn’t even think about it. Grab it, wash hands, wash phone, wash hands again.
Lack of VC money makes starting a sufficiently successful startup a bit difficult. There is a reason there is only one silicon valley.
Did anybody experiment using Twillio (or similar) to receive 2FA SMS?

There are a few service that I use that mandate or only provide SMS as a 2FA. Using Twillio seems rather ideal since they have stricter control to porting numbers. The message probably is harder to intercept as well since it goes to their servers directly. And finally the phone number is harder for an attacker to find out since it's not my day-to-day number.
> There are some important aspects of voiceism that the author does not address. There is indeed an aspect of prejudice and stereotyping, but accents and dialects intrinsically hinder communication to someone who is unfamiliar with them.

Perhaps if it be quite far off from one's own, but in many cases it does not hinder at all.

As a more interesting example, consider that intelligent characters in U.S.A. cinema have a statistically high probability of having either a received pronunciation, or German accent, — given that the target audience is one of the U.S.A., one can assume that either, especially the latter, would hinder communication to at least some degree, however marginal.

Yet, both accents impart upon the listener an impression of intelligence. This was even referenced in The Practice, in one scene, where a lawyer for his expert witness specifically picked an expert with an English accent, on his experience that an R.P. English accent leads to U.S.A. jurors' holding the expert more credible.

I'm quite sceptical that communication is truly hampered in many of these cases. It is certainly not difficult by any margin to understand what Eliza Doolittle is saying in My Fair Lady, but the story of course highlights the absurd degree of accent discrimination that permeates British society.
Nice write up on your experience in YC, thanks for that.

Much more likely that there will be PV in the desert to produce green ammonia, which can then be shipped. We'll need plenty of that, and it's far easier to do than building a several thousand kilometer transmission line.

Also don't forget: The Sahara is in a worl region where plenty of people don't have an electricity grid yet. So yes, by all means, build solar power there, but a significant share of it needs to be provided to the people living there.
Why are you quoting AC systems when such a system would certainly be DC? According to Wiki a UHVDC system has losses of 2.6% per 800 km leaving us with a total loss of about 10%.

By making the russian economy heavily dependent on europe, europe gets geopolitical influence on russia.

The US is the worlds Hard SuperPower, europe is the worlds Soft SuperPower.

You'd pre pretty resentfull too btw, if your continent had been carved up by a foreign power with complete disregard for your cultural borders, extracted your resources and the discarded you in a state of chaos.

The african people can't be that hatefull if they try to escape their impoverished conditions by seeking an education and better life in europe.

The european people have a historical responsibility to right the wrongs their ancestors did to the ancestors of the people of africa.

A inter-continental power grid and energy collaboration is a win win for everybody.

Psychedelics should be ingested by people who search for it. It should not be possible to take it accidentally.
It's a rather recent thing, and it's touted as a security feature. To be fair, Japan seems to be safer than most of the world when it SIM swapping (there are pretty strict identification requirements defined by law) and for porting phone numbers between SIM cards. I also never heard of any case of attacks against SS7 or other part of the telecommunication stack in Japan (I'd be happy to know if someone does)

That being said, a certain class of SIM cards (SMS-only cards, without voice functionality) is exempt from most of these strict checks as far as I know, and there are other technical vulnerabilities that are probably just waiting to happen in Japan before they're taking seriously.

I'm a little bit surprised that Yahoo! Japan went for SMS as the only authentication method, since their one of the main sponsors of the FIDO Japan WG.
The point of the article is not to manually resolve all function calls. Understanding the algorithm allows you to see why a compiler sometimes doesn't choose the function you want and fix it.

Charging based on regenerative breaking would probably give a far greater amount of energy than this solar panel approach.
SMS 2FA costs money per message. It's also subject to telecom rules -- you usually need to buy short codes by geography if you're sending at scale, and that involves dealing with bureaucracies at scale, too. Getting a short code can take weeks and cost thousands of dollars. Of course you can always pay to have other people do that management for you. But you're going to pay, nonetheless.

Then you have to worry about fraud, and whether telcos in <random country> have been hacked, or are corrupt, and are leaking messages to bad guys.

I've seen entire (small) countries drop out, too. Usually the way you find out about this is that support notices an uptick in users in <smallish country> complaining about not getting messages, or you notice that the entirety of some geography isn't successfully completing the transactions you tried to protect with SMS. Er, you did consult the (changing) prefix database and phone number parser to (semi) reliably determine a geography from a phone number, right? Isn't parsing phone numbers fun?

It's fractally terrible and expensive, and I haven't even talked about APIs yet.
Is this a joke? Do you actually test your work on a Netscape 2 browser? But why?

Introduction to Design Tokens
I always wondered how it could be legal to automatically send DMCA takedown requests. A DMCA request on a site like Twitter means the post and account are immediately blocked until the situation is clarified, and that can be a big issue for the user, especially if their livelihood depends on access to this account (I guess a bigger problem if their Google account is blocked due to a DMCA on YouTube).

Yet it seems ok to automate this, knowing full well that there will be false positives that could seriously affect people. Sometimes it feels like we eventually got a soft version of Skynet, ruled by robots, except they aren't trying to kill us yet.
You do need automation on any project. At least, deployment automation. It doesn't have to be a full fledged CI with Jenkins or something. Just a bash script that runs on your machine, creates a docker image and deploys it to Google Cloud or AWS. The goal is to be able to clone a repo and run the deploy script right away without any manual actions. If you can't do this - you'll be hunting accidental bugs all the time.

Basic DevOps isn't hard. If you don't know how to do it - go learn it - it totally worth it.

Oh, also, you don't need developerS. Having more than 1 (2 tops) devs working on a project incurs a huge management overhead. I don't know what is your project, but if you need more than one dev for MVP without pmf, then it's the shortest route to run out of money.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cost_of_electricity_by_source#...

• solar PV (fixed) - $1060/kW (utility)

• battery storage power - $1380/kW

• coal (with SO2 and NOx controls)- $3500–3800/kW

$(1060+1380) = $2440 < $3500

I get similar results with KWh costs (i.e. energy rather than power), but the sources are more spread out; it’s still more cost effective than coal even when I make conservative estimates about the number of cycles a LiIon can do.
Every time you hear able to noble causes of financial freedom afforded by Bitcoin, it's good to remember the very 21st century parable of Sebastian. The man who, having invested his family's future in cryptocurrency to get rich quick on the fossil fuel powered gold rush, was blinded by the promise of doubling his riches by someone pretending to be a egomaniac billionaire on social media.
