That is not the point I was trying to make here. I was talking about extreme cases of faulty code which luckily are not that common. I meant that as long as you couple with sane libraries and adhere to standards in your own team extreme measures such as a debugger are not necessary.

Note that much of the waste probably comes from thermal / fossil power generation, which is unavoidable even in theory (cf. Carnot efficiency).

That is, unavoidable unless chemical energy is turned into electrical energy directly like in fuel cells (these have smaller but still surprisingly large losses), or the rejected thermal energy is used for heating.

Feedback: I was one of the downvoters. I didn't downvote you because you were "criticizing" Google. I downvoted you because your points were non sensical, inflammatory and irrelevant to the discussion.

I have no ties to Google, I don't live in the US, I'll never work in a FAANG and in fact I dislike Google likely as much as you do.
I don’t think that really makes sense. Often in a personal relationship the “action taken” will be innocuous considered in itself. But you may have done it knowing full well that it would hurt the other person’s feelings. In a case where the person’s feelings are totally irrational and you had a strong independent justification for taking the action, it does get more complicated. In general, though, I think it’s a huge mistake to assume that you should never apologize for hurting someone’s feelings.
The problem with PBMRs was sposta be the possibility of a graphite fire. I got the impression that there is fear that nobody actually knows how to put one out. I do not know whether this is still a concern.
That would require the application to support it. Like, "got anything you can dealloc?" "Oh shoot, now you mention it..."

What exists already in the Windows VMM, and I assume other OSes VMMs, is a distinction between allocated and committed. That's likely to be the best that's realistically achievable. The win VMM also has a last-accessed strategy for paging to disk, and de-duplication of shared pages.

For ITER money has little to do with it. The problem is mostly politics.

For example, take the Vacuum vessel. Currently there is only one section on-site. The other sections are in various stages of completion in different countries around the world when they are due to be on-site already. Instead of one contractor manufacturing each of the nearly identical sections they are each being made in separate member countries for political reasons.

The governments involved don't have a problem with spending the money, but they want a return on that investment so they look for that return in jobs and contracts for their engineering firms.

The international collaboration isn't working. If ITER was only an EU project, it could probably be complete already.
Everything in this post is factually correct, and it is presumably getting downvoted for ideological reasons.

I bought a smart watch that tracks my sleep. I then focused on having all nights green, which usually meant I was really well rested. The tips from the app, reminders and all of it combined helped.

It's the ScanWatch from Withings - they have cheaper models too, and probably any other smart watch will work although I am not sure their app is compatible.
I disagree. There are so much code out there that nest loops and become accidentally quadratic, where a little knowledge would have helped make it perform well at scale. Knowledge about the time complexity of algorithms isn't valuable only for people implementing libraries. Every single time you iterate over things or partition things by a predicate you are using the building blocks of algorithms to make a new custom algorithm, and knowledge of the theory will help you avoid bad performance.

All nested loops are harbingers of algorithmic doom, and should be treated as such, and they come up all the time in real code.

Yeah, well, um, is reading HN with the rulebook open in a tab a thing that people actually do?

And why did they then upvote the person who called my argument "stupid" right below? Isn't that a more blatant rule-violation?

HN users do seem to upvote a lot of calls for government crackdown on freedom-embracing technology, so I wouldn't be totally opposed to "yes, there's people who strictly abide the rulebook, they like rules here", it's just not my style of interacting with humans. I just try to be honest and avoid being completely rude.

Again, it depends what you're looking for. If the real world problem is "we need a fast optimising compiler that runs on our embedded platform" then hiring someone who is great solving problems but knows nothing of compiler theory is going to be very inefficient.
I think you need both. Formal education is great for "basic skills". Most people won't invent calculus on their own. Most of us learn reading and writing in a formal way. But equally, formal education is only half of what is needed to be good in a field of work. Then there comes the experimentation, the practise. All the knowledge that can't really be taught by a book. Sometimes a good teacher or mentor can help on that side, but real excellence comes through your own tinkering.

The anecdote of Feynman shows this actually well. He gained a lot of knowledge and inspiration for other problems solutions by working out the motion of the plate. But he did so by using the calculus and tools of theoretical mechanics. Those were what enabled him to do the theoretical description which then yielded the insights.

Thanks for replying here then! :)

Well, see, that's interesting, because even if I had known you would consider what I would say as "inflammatory" before I wrote it, I would have brushed that off because:

Google is not only inflammatory as well but actual full blown cancer on our society, isn't it?

They are absorbing insane amounts of control over what humans consider as the truth. They willingly coax users into actually building a database on how they browse the web - complete surveillance.

They also basically own root access on a large percentage of surveillance devices which almost everyone has in their pocket.

So perhaps "inflammatory" isn't the 100% perfect word, but Google certainly is something worse than "inflammatory".

Hence my threshold for stopping myself from bashing them is very high.

I hope you can understand what I mean?
> If you are writing your own library then your best bet is to define your own Error enum in each module

This is exactly the path that my SNAFU library takes. It’s a procedural macro attached to an enum that generates the From, Display and Error traits for you.

This way, consumers of your code don’t need to know anything beyond the fact that you implement Error and any inherent public methods or traits you choose to expose. The implementation provided by SNAFU is internal to your code.

> even though in reality I will do tests like this to a tiiiiny percentage of repos over the next decade

So...contrary to what you suggest in your first paragraph, all you need to do is send out a handful of warning emails at the appropriate juncture. What’s the problem? For sure you shouldn’t be submitting malicious code to a project without forewarning. That's just a basic ethical no-no. Even if you were right that this kind of unethical research somehow had beneficial results, the ends wouldn't justify the means.
IMO, both wrong. Hotz right. :)

Regulation can't be true, because escooter rentals boomed and busted in hundreds of cities around the world. All different regulatory angles tried.

The other points (infrasture, convenience, etc.) are not relevant. Scooter rentals didn't fail because they were unpopular. They were popular, whatever the shortcomings. Demand exists.

The problem is the business model. Maybe it can be run sustainably, but it can't be run very profitably. It's not going to generate enough cash to fund exponential growth and profit margins are disciplined by a market.

There's no shortage of desire to bring tech's business models, funding models, norms and mentality to other areas. Why not bus companies? Why not wework? There has been a lot of this recently.

Inevitably, these companies encounter some difficult realities. The localized monopolies, zero marginal cost and zero capital of software businesses are requirements for many of those industries' norms. Those norms often don't work, once standard elements of "perfect markets" are brought in.
Thanks for expanding. I had forgotten about the painting anecdote.

As others have pointed out, a lot men in that era seemed similar in a way. I'd been assuming that going through all the changes that happened in the 60s as a middle aged man must have had a certain effect on them. Seeing expressions of sexuality go from being something very private, something to be ashamed of, to being something that the younger generation is much more open about.

For example, I remember reading Asimov when I was a kid. His earlier books were all very buttoned up, with highly intellectual and in depth discussions of galactic politics or robots. Then his later books are full of sex. I gather that Asimov in his later years gained a reputation for being somewhat creepy too.
Comparing France to Canada with respect to the EU and their sovereignty relies on those assumptions. Hence:

> Canada "clearly yes" still a sovereign state so you seem to agree that sovereignty is not binary.

is not you pointing out something to me, nor likely anyone else but yourself.

> To remain in the game…

To that entire paragraph, again, I have to point out that it's irrelevant to the points being made against the statement “We do know the UK has kept its sovereignty”. It strikes me rather like someone who's trying to persuade an opponent by shifting their "gotcha" arguments as they are challenged and fall instead of sticking to the point, especially considering the decision to leave and leaving are done.

When you find a trade agreement that means another state will make law in the UK and have its law supreme, then you'll begin to have a relevant point about what's being given up for immigration or whatever. Keep in mind that bit about game theory, they have scoring systems ;-)

> Finally note that UK was not forced to join the EU. It did so by choice as a sovereign state.

And undermined its sovereignty to an enormous degree that actually threatened the constitution. From 22:31 of Vernon Bognador's talk[0] at Yale:

> When Harold Macmillan sought to join, he encountered fundamental difficulties, difficulties which probably have never been resolved, and the essence of the problem was one of fitting Britain into a continental system whose assumptions about constitutions, politics and economics was so different from those held in Britain.

> The most fundamental problem, perhaps, was that of fitting a constitutional system based on the sovereignty of parliament and the absence of a codified constitution into one based on a written constitution, the separation of powers, and subordination of the legal systems of the member states to superior system of European law.

Vernon Bognador is British Research Professor at the Institute for Contemporary British History at King's College London and Professor of Politics at the New College of the Humanities. He is also Emeritus Professor of Politics and Government at the University of Oxford and Emeritus Fellow of Brasenose College, Oxford, and has written several books on the British constitution and Brexit. He voted to remain in the EU[1].

And to this:

> While in EU, it was a major member of the club and could and did steer policy and legislation to suit it's own needs.

I want to underline, as I wrote above I'm not particularly interested in hackneyed arguments for remaining in the EU given that they are moot and not relevant, so I'd ask that you save them for your friends and try to keep to the point with future replies.

> I think it's more a matter of the pitch not being entirely constant

In modern popular music at least, it's not desirable for the pitch to be constant. You typically want to tune the resonant head (the one at the bottom) a little higher in pitch than the batter head so that there's a slight descending pitch shift.

My experience is different. One thing I looooovvvveeeee (I can't emphasize that enough) about Werewolf games is that it enables emergent narratives. The story writes itself, even in the one-night variant. Narrators, just write down the proper order of role callout each night. Waking one group up before another is what can spoil a game/round.

I even used to not like being the narrator because I'm not in on the thrill. But knowing exactly what's happening and seeing people blunder, or take advantage of confusion, or whip up an alibi out of nowhere, is just as much a roller-coaster!

There was even one time as a narrator, had one of the players been capable of reading micro-expressions, they would've had a huge leg-up from seeing my reaction to an in-game "day" event.

This is why while I toy with Rust, I can only see it replacing C and C++ (long term), in the context of kernels, device drivers and real time scenarios where any kind of memory allocation is a no-go (MISRA style).

For anything else, it isn't worth the productivity drop of automated memory management (regardless in what form) coupled with value types.

Heh so this thread also got flagged.

Guess a point has been made by that?
Deprecated HTML tags are relatively rare though, especially more recently. You can pretty much categorize every one of them into tags that are purely concerned with styling, frame support and applet type things. And in all cases, the deprecation took a long time, long enough that it would outlive most apps.

And nowadays, even if dialog happened to be deprecated, you could always continue to support it using a custom element if you really needed to (which probably wouldn't be the worst approach even if you were building it from scratch, to be honest).
It's a fair point that specs evolve, and that sometimes includes deprecation. I do feel slightly aggrieved about the `scoped` style attribute being spec'd, implemented, and then dropped shortly thereafter.

But overall I feel this approach has worked well over the years. With jQuery for example, I only learned enough to get by working in those codebases, but I committed to internalized all of the standardized DOM methods and Array methods and naive XHR workings. Now in these modern times, jQuery still _works_, but whatever I came to know of it is no longer very useful to me, day to day.
