Agreed - the startup I work with now uses C# and its been very solid.

The tooling is good, and the lang has never gotten in the way of getting work done.
As an old pragmatic, I believe for a new startup language of choice must be Java/C#.

* Stable, Well understood language.
* Rich ecosystem.
* Fast enough.
* Plenty of developers to hire from.
* Scales well to large projects.

No other language/ecosystem ticks all the checkboxes.

They want rooftop solar. Where I live the roof points in the wrong direction and solar would not work. It's also shaded by other homes and trees.

In large cities with apartments rooftop solar won't even come close to providing enough energy for all the apartments.

I will stick with my environmentally friendly gas dryer and oven, and will avoid the bad for the environment electric version of those.

Maybe when the last carbon and natural gas power plant shuts down I'll consider switching, until then switching to electric would harm the environment.

90K is around half my yearly salary so while it's nice, it's not a great deal of money to me. It's certainly not worth having sacrificed many nights and weekends over the years. The equity is worth a lot more than 90K though, so that's the main appeal of the deal.

But there I have a question. Regarding the "Knight for justice (and hot ladies)" sign.

"not the sign about welcoming “hot ladies” on his MIT Media lab office door, which someone else wrote as a joke and which he removed but not before someone took a photo of it"

Was the sign a one-time joke, someone knowingly did, RMS left amused there for a while, days, weeks, months?

Or was he annoyed and removed it once he got to it?

Or was it part of a smear campaign? Even just happened recently at the time of the attacks, or way before?

Quite different scenarios. I suspect the first one to be true. But I am open to more solid facts, for example by someone, who actually was or is at the MIT.
I have a 7-in-1 USB-C dongle with this behavior. Some of its ports won't work in its natural orientation - logo on top, rubber feet on bottom - but will if I flip it. I remember being amazed and disgusted by this when I discovered it.

safety nit: By using a dryer circuit (30A), you've got the wrong overcurrent protection on the saw. Which means that some failure modes could overload the saw, but not trip the breaker. The proper ways to do this is to run a new 20A 240V circuit, or to incorporate a subpanel with a 20A breaker into your extension cord. I don't think the risk is severe [0], but you should at least know your setup goes against the electrical code. And that the problem would be more pronounced if you did the same thing with a 40A/50A stove outlet.

FWIW if the nameplate of the motor specifies current draw at 120V, you can likely reconfigure the motor to use 120V instead of 240V.

[0] take a look at the gauge of a dryer's internal wiring, which is regulated by UL/CE and not NEC.

I really like go. Its simple in that you can learn the language pretty quick. I might get burned in another comment below but it's the language that feels the closest to C to me. Both are really simple languages that can get relatively complicated pretty fast. Inheritance through embedding for one feels a lot like using -fms-extensions in C.

However I think the coolest part of the language is the part no one talks about. The inclusion of comments as a major part of a program.

// +linux

for managing files for specific platforms is just wonderful.

//go:embed

for embedding files and directories into your program

// #include <stdlib.h>
import "C"

is probably the coolest and easiest ways to use C libraries I've seen. You can write C code directly into your go files and even set complier and linker flags.

//go:generate

can allow you to automate your build process from within your codebase.

I always buy the supermarket brand, even though I can easily afford more. It's not because I want to save a few pennies on each purchase; it's helping to drive prices down on all overpriced goods, helping out those really in need.

Same reason I avoid organic whenever possible. We don't need boutique food.
And the preppers are doing it wrong. They're storing bulk goods (and not enough of them) rather than the means of producing food. Say I need 80 million calories for the rest of my life, comprising macros and micros, how am I going to store anything to last 50 years or more? Two adults would need half a million pounds of corn. Are they going to hide that under their mattress? What would any kids be born eat?

It's totally fatalistic, irrational nonsense.

You probably mean home automation. IoT is connected to the internet by definition.

Home automation is a mess, IoT or not. There are standards like KNX, but the problem is the same as it was 30 years ago when the idea of home automation arose: manufacturers want captive markets and can't agree on a single standard.
As a result, I can't buy any A/C unit, rolling shutter, light fixture and thermostat and just connect them to my home network, the selection of "smart" appliances is actually very limited.

I mean, home installation is thought out on the scale of decades, because renovation is a pain. People want something simple and reliable, that is the reason why some taps, switches, sockets, etc... are 10 times more expensive than others while looking the same and people still buy them. It is the complete opposite from what Silicon Valley is pushing.

Kotlin is a “better Java”. Scala is sort of a tug of war between a better Java and a worse Haskell.

> [...] writers who can command a paying audience have heretofore been significantly underpaid.

I don't know for sure, but I suspect the writer-paid-monthly model is straight up more effective at pulling money from readers' pockets than the magazine subscription model.

I mean, I can pay £34 a year for a fortnightly magazine with quite a few writers doing quite a lot of investigative journalism, and even mailing a paper copy to me. I can pay £10 for a novel by a bestselling author who takes several years to write each novel.

But with the market positioning of "$10 per month" it turns out you can sell one person's writing for £86 ($120) per year.

Strange that the output of one full time human writer could be priced so differently, even when every example is award-winning and well known. Perhaps the future of writing is a return to Dickens-era serialisation, and the next J. K. Rowling will be posting two chapters a week on Patreon.

FOMO and PR. I have friends that have plenty of money and read the latest reviews/gadget magazines. They assume whatever is in the recommended area you should be buying it or your neighbours will have it first.
That’s not necessarily the truth. It’s more of a hypothesis or opinion.

In any case, enforcement of anything will require boots on the ground (or boots programming and building the drones). So you’ll have to convince the unwise 99.9% of something. Unilateral climate rescue by the enlightened 0.1% is, to me, a fantasy, as is anybody listening to threats by the Chinese government. They already do a lot of threatening.

In my opinion, this line of thinking will inevitably be hijacked to commit genocide so some group or groups can stay in power.

Would be nice to find another way.
“Exploiting” is the keyword here. You need to exploit the niche. A better example would be someone like 3Blue1Brown. You have to keep at it long enough and keep improving. Go check Grant’s first video and the latest video, the difference is just night and day. On the contrary, although decent in terms of the content, Ben hasn’t improved in ways measureable. When you use these mediums, you are trying to communicate while being engaging. If Ben indeed is providing engaging content that is deep and valuable, and you’re not just extrapolating from n=1(because you learn something from those videos), it should’ve worked out for him , no?
I suspect that within the next 5 years we will see an incredibly sophisticated deepfake of some rising star politician saying something abhorrent.

Did Wordpress provide an index of all the websites? They don't appear to now? Also the fact that every site could be themed meant that many sites looked really quite different and so the website brand was stronger than the Wordpress brand.

Article from Wired on why algae isn't the silver bullet it's marketed as: https://www.wired.com/story/carbon-neutral-cows-algae/

Essentially, it's only useful for pasture raised cows (soy and corn fed feedlot cows already produce a fraction of the methane) and there's no practical way to add algae to pasture raised cows' diets. They also speculate that cows' microbiomes will adapt to the algae.

That's fair enough. The language that's there originally came from the fact that we see many teams where engineers are left out of the loop when it comes to the early stages of planning initiatives/features. One of the benefits teams have told us they get from Kitemaker is getting the whole team involved earlier, rather than PMs doing too much of the planning themselves and then just splitting tasks out to engineers.

But we'll revisit it!

I get what you are trying to say, but we don't have a carbon budget, nor a methane budget. Maybe attitudes need to shift gradually to make other people feel more comfortable, but the fact is that we need to make radical changes to all areas of human existence in order to deal properly with the magnitude of the crisis. It seems like...smart...to be rational, and weigh costs and impact and supposedly choose the smartest strategy and all, but it's mostly just a vehicle for one sector to shift the blame on another and try to make it someone else's problem. I know you specifically aren't doing that, but the end result is that nothing will ever get done, as we will be in analysis paralysis even as it all comes unraveled.

Because unless your investment expectation in greater than the deflation value, you won't invest. Loans become too expensive and the default rate will be higher since there is less investment. And no more thing such as buying on credit. And if banks don't loan money and credit become a thing of the past, the money supply disappear.

Also, unless deflationary money is decoupled from production , production will crumble and you will enter hyperinflation quickly.
What we need is a reasonably priced dongle that you can plug into an arbitrary USB-C port and it tells you what that port supports.
If the value of your currency kept going up people would be incentivized to keep it in their bank accounts rather than spend it and invest in their economy.

Of course this is certainly less of an issue than hyperinflation, but neither is great.
> You said that already[1], this is unsubstantiated and you declined to answer to my rebuttal.

How would you propose to measure the concept of "programming language complexity"? One metric could be "how difficult is it to write programs that do not contain certain classes of bugs"? By that metric, C is indeed incredibly complex. An alternate metric might be "how long does it take the average developer to learn the language well enough to write reasonably effective programs"?

In the absence of formal studies we just have to go by our intuition. Personally, I kinda hate the "I'm not smart enough to write C, so I write Haskell/Rust" argument. It comes across as incredibly condescending to me. What I can tell you from my experience is that I spent a month trying to learn Rust on nights and weekends, and by the end of that was able to write some extremely simple programs with a lot of effort. On the other hand I was making nontrivial contributions to Zig itself within a week of learning the language. So to me, Rust is much more complex than Zig.

Import to Excel was my way to go, but since the file was not a standard CSV file (e.g. also had sections like an .INI file) it was time consuming: first just select a subsection from the file, save to a different file, import to Excel, modify, paste back, etc.

Suggestion: have you considered learning to use Vim? I imagine most Vim users are reading your example wondering what the big deal is.

Not to take away from the spirit of your post, though. You have valid questions.
I like this policy, but I wonder how long it'll take for it to become controversial. After all, it's the logical compliment to "cancel culture". It goes like this:

1. Money is fungible.

2. The one who decides what to do with a dollar is the holder of it.

So, a dollar from a good person and a dollar from a bad person are the exact same thing: a dollar. What only matters is who gets to decide how to spend it. So based on this, the rules for creating moral pressure through economics are:

1. Accept money from bad people. Spend it on ends opposed to their interest.

2. Refuse to give money to bad people. Doing this prevents them from spending it on ends opposed to your interest.

And #2 is pretty much textbook "cancel culture". Eg, don't buy books by Orson Scott Card, because he might spend that money on something unfriendly to LGBT people.

Also, #1 is a bit of a tricky position to take in practice, because it's hard to prove to others what you spent your dollars on, but being friendly with the wrong kind of people easily gets interpreted as being on their side.
Be honest and give a short list of experimental approaches that you wanted to do and couldn't be done on Java. What did you want to do and couldn't?

And, let's ask Rich Hickey. What language was it he used to experiment with a new s-expression language? Why wasn't RH scared away? You want the brutal honest answer? Because he is smart and can grok the complexity of the Java in toto.

What sort of experiments can you not do on a virtual machine based language, with open byte code/vm spec, open class loaders, and compile and runtime instrumentation and meta- capabilities?

I used to do the switch the superclass at loadtime to experiment with adaptable programs. This was circa late 90s. Loads of fun (npi).

What scares many away from Java is that it is now a very huge mental object. But not wanting to admit this, they simply pass along FUD.

I don't see how this time is _not_ different.

In addition to the bad actors (these are the same throughout time) themselves, they now have capabilities that _are_ different:

- They can be heard at will be heard by millions to billions of people

- They can track in real time whether their messaging is working, and adjust it for maximum effect using everything we've learned about human psychology in the last century

- They can target their messaging at scale, varying it to match what will work best for a given narrowly-defined demographic

- They can do all of this with an iteration cycle of hours, instead of days or weeks

Where is the historical parallel that invalidates the premise?
Quote: "It took 24 years of battles in court, untangling bureaucratic loops, and finding the proper documents in archives, but he finally took possession of the decaying building in 2007"

Considering the Romanian Revolution happened in Dec. 1989 and probably the earliest he could request to have the building was 1990, I'd say math is either wrong (2007 - 1990 = 17 years) or the date is wrong (1990 + 24 = 2014, not 2007).
HA is not the easiest system to get into, but once you are there is is fantastic.

It is a state machine that I also use for some other software, not to mention that it has tons of integrations.

I use Zigbee and it took me 10 minutes to have it successfully running (via MQTT autodiscovery, or via the ZHE module (which I tested byt keep with MQTT)).

It certianly is not something would suggest to my parents, but someone who is technical (especially with software, and especially-especially with Python) it is not difficult.

The main issue is how the docs are organized, it takes quite sometime to understand the way the whole thig works. After that it is downhill.
