Bear in mind, that many subconsciously are unhappy with their workplace's policies and effects on the world, but at the same time have linked their personal esteem and identity with work.

By threatening their self esteem, their very identity, by validating what the know deep inside them, that they work to do evil, without wanting to, they must strongly reject/defy such claims to reassert and restore their veiled view of themselves.
Jupiter is orders of magnitude too small to be a brown dwarf. The "brown" implies IR radiation generated by gravitic collapse. If Jupiter was massive enough to generate its own radiance it's unlikely Earth would be around to observe it.

The simplistic solar systems and textbooks in grade school are not just misleading when it comes to scale, but they're really really misleading. Few people really comprehend the scale of things in the universe.

Generating test data batches like this is a common use.

The other is for populating "numbers tables" which can be very useful in reporting contexts and/or dealing with certain gaps/islands type problems.

You can even use the techniques dynamically rather than a stored numbers table, if you need it in a DB that doesn't have one and you don't have schema permissions to create one, though this is generally less efficient.

>Economics may well be the dismal science, but it is luminary enough to instruct us that restoring gold convertibility to the US dollar has zero chance of solving problems such inequality and government budget deficits.

Economics tells us that inflation in the current format is a massive source of inequality. The 1-2% purchasing power lost every year doesn't just disappear: it is transferred to the first spenders of the newly created money, which is overwhelmingly banks and financial institutions (which receive it from the Fed). Literally making the rich richer and the poor poorer. Yes in theory that might not be the case if the newly created money was distributed by UBI or something similar evenly to all citizens, but that's not what's happening.

>It actually pisses me off that someone is peddling this horse manure to promote their private money scams, and they have the brass neck to blame all the world’s ills on public monetary policy in order to enrich themselves.

Jeff Bezos doesn't have $50 billion of wealth in cash, he has it in inflation-proof stock. Inflation doesn't hurt him, but it does hurt 50 million Americans with $1000 each in the bank, especially given lower and middle-class Americans have less access to financial products to hedge against inflation.

If Goldman Sachs was granted the right to print US dollars, everybody'd be up in arms, yet when the Fed does it and gives it to Goldman Sachs suddenly nobody cares any more.

Kotlin compile times are killing me.

In a current project, I have fewer than 20K lines and it's 50ish seconds for a clean re-compile on a very decent laptop (less than a year old, 32Gb RAM, quadcore i7, fast PCIe/NVMe SSD, etc.).

Particularly as I'm a test driven type of developer - cycling between running unit tests and adding small fixes is painful. Even when you can trust the incremental compilation, 10 or 20 seconds between making small one-line fixes and the test re-starting means the temptation to check hackernews or whatever kicks in and any chance of achieving "flow" evaporates.

I'm almost considering the suggestion (for Scala) in the article - and moving back to Java.

The only thing really worth it is ripgrep, which is substantially faster than plain grep.
The "I've used for 40 years" argument either amounts to (a) I don't want to learn something new, even if it's improved (which one can respect, but is not a general argument, as others might want to learn something new), or (b) I think the existing versions are the global maxima of such tool design, or close enough not to matter.

Because I want to write scripts with the minimal possible support overhead. That means striking a balance between the lowest common denominator, and productivity. Does (for example) ripgrep give me so much extra speed that it's worth committing to the overhead of installing it and keeping it patched up to date on thousands or tens of thousands of machines? With a dozen or more combinations of distro/version? What if the next guy has his own favourite grep replacement? What if we construct a suite of tools and all of them grep in a different way, and someone else a year or 5 years or 10 years later has to debug it? What if two or more of these tools decide that they are the one that gets to replace grep with a symlink to themselves? Having been there and done that it gets very messy, very quickly.

Note I'm not saying that grep can't be improved - but I am saying that it would be better to PR those improvements into grep itself rather than creating a new and incompatible thing. Or fork grep and ensure that the improved version is fully backwards compatible.

>then bleeding gold 1955-1970, then couldn't cope with the losses so bumped the economic malaise to other parts of the economy.

That's literally want happened. From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exorbitant_privilege: "As American economist Barry Eichengreen summarized: "It costs only a few cents for the Bureau of Engraving and Printing to produce a $100 bill, but other countries had to pony up $100 of actual goods in order to obtain one."[2] In February 1965, President Charles de Gaulle announced his intention to exchange its U.S. dollar reserves for gold at the official exchange rate. He sent the French Navy across the Atlantic to pick up the French reserve of gold and was followed by several countries. As it resulted in considerably reducing U.S. gold stock and U.S. economic influence, it led U.S. President Richard Nixon to end unilaterally the convertibility of the dollar to gold on August 15, 1971 (the "Nixon Shock"). "

> In October 1967, the officers and crews of all fourteen ships met on the Melampus to found the "Great Bitter Lake Association" which provided mutual support. Crew members continued to regularly meet on board their ships, organized social events, founded a yachting club and held the "Bitter Lake Olympic Games" to complement the 1968 Summer Olympics in Mexico City. Life boat races were arranged and soccer games were played on the largest ship, the MS Port Invercargill, while church services were held on the West German motorship Nordwind and movies were shown on the Bulgarian freighter Vasil Levsky.[2] The Swedish Killara had a pool.[3]

> In time, it was possible to reduce the number of crew members on board the ships, and in 1969 the ships were gathered into several groups to further reduce the number of crew necessary for their upkeep. Those crew that were left to maintain the vessels were rotated every three months. In 1972, the last crew members of the German ships were finally sent home, with the maintenance of the ships left to a Norwegian company.

They even introduced a postal system!

At this point the term has been abused by the right-wing in its persecution complex narrative so thoroughly that literally any disagreement, criticism or social activism which can be interpreted as "progressive" is interpreted as "cancel culture."

I've never travelled through Suez, but did some other canals like Panama and Kiel. Autopilot won't be used there I'm sure. Canal Authority requires having a Pilot onboard and he gives commands to the Helmsman.

Even on the open sea I've never seen that the autopilot actually steers the ship, it will only keep the heading, and sound an alert when there is time to change heading. So the watchkeeping Officer will set new heading and steer the ship in a new direction.

>I really hope that there isn't external pressure to go down that route now that they're going public.

They are not. As they have repeatedly stated. ( Even on HN ) They are chasing the market that is being neglected by all HyperScalers. Which is the small medium market. Simple Pricing, Simple Terms. And some managed services to quickly get product off the ground. ( Which is one reason I make the case why Amazon should have bought Heroku )

They are leading the pack as far as I am aware. Managed DB, CDN, Storage etc ( Although I do think it is getting a little complicated / messy as shown on their website ).Linode, UpCloud and Vultr are catching up.

Not entirely sure about the TAM and profit margin though. I haven't look too closely on that.

And the Pfizer production relies on Lipids that are produced in the UK, along with other products produced elsewhere.

Moderna is made in Switzerland and then goes to Spain for finishing does that make it an EU or Swiss export?

We all need to cooperate to succeed.

Given the relative country sizes it's weird that the EU seems to have comparatively less vaccine production

And if the EU really wants to 'put the issue to bed' why don't they just publish the export numbers but vaccine type and country?
It seems rather petty to criticize the use of uint64_t in the 64-bit versions in multiple places when the original does the same:

32-bit version:

const unsigned b = 65536; // Number base (16 bits).
unsigned un1, un0, // Norm. dividend LSD's.
vn1, vn0, // Norm. divisor digits.
q1, q0, // Quotient digits.
un32, un21, un10,// Dividend digit pairs.
rhat; // A remainder.

So a properly adapted 64-bit version should use uint64_t and a 32-bit number base.

I did not attempt to follow the author's arguments why he advocates for 32-bit variables or why that deviation from the original would be correct. Using 64-bit does not seem to be any bottleneck at all here, so why bother.

Slang happens. By planting your flag you're relegating yourself to history. Yes, these matters deserve more nuance. Yes, many of the people speaking authoritatively are in fact missing important details or fudging the facts to fit their bias. Unfortunately, that's just the state of things. I don't have a better solution cooked up, but trying to cancel is a word is just plain laughable. (Obvious exceptions are obvious)

Somehow webpack/JS/React has way faster build times than Java/Android apps.
That's the main reason we completely abandoned fully native apps in Java/Swift in favor of webapps with a tiny native wrapper app for the few only-native calls we need.

And to move forward this trend, new bundlers are appearing in JS like esbuild/snowpack that are even faster than webpack.

This is why the web will always win in the long run.
While the Android team in working on their tooling and Apple on other tooling and Windows on other tooling on the web all tooling is shared. You don't need the OS/platform gatekeeper to come up with faster bundlers. You just need one company/opensource team to make a breakthrough tool.

Finally this is the point why I believe TYPES ARE NOT WORTH IT. Types make the whole development slower. To me is better to be able to try and run the code faster in development and try it manually several times than to wait longer for type checks. Typing is overrated in my opinion.
True, but it is hard to get the scale of some ships until a real world item people are familiar with is close enough for a comparison.

Heh, yeah.. the article is strange. The magnetic fields infographic includes "Palm of Person Emitting Qi - 400 Nanotesla" without any context.
