They're not operating at cottage industry scale, they're talking hundreds of acres I believe. Those portable mills are more of a cottage/craft industry (I had one come and mill some of my trees a few years ago)

I suspect owning a mill exposes you to additional risks as well. I know here in Canada a bunch of the softwood mills in B.C. closed a decade ago, I suspect it's big time boom and bust and now you've got expensive equipment you're in debt for...
You're both wrong. If it was dynamicism then why are JS, Python, and Ruby so popular? If it's about being functional then why has Scala got more users?

Languages are driven by the platform. There is no Clojure platform that people want to use, so no one uses Clojure.

If a language isn't bound to it's own platform, it can share a platform and displace other tools like python, go, and rust do with C and C++ (docker is go; docker-compose, dnf is python; etc).

Scala has carved out pat of the jvm platform (spark, kafka). Clojure has not.

A common onramp is command line tools, but Hello world in Clojure takes 670ms to run. This is a total non-starter.

time clj -M hello.clj
Hello world
clj -M hello.clj 1.05s user 0.12s system 175% cpu 0.672 total

Without an on-ramp to take over a platform, Clojure will not gain traction. Language quality is not a significant driver in adoption ; that's why shonky R has so many users. They will suffer a great deal to use dataframes and ggplot2.

If Clojure is so great, where are these cathedrals that people have made that should make it a no brainer to pick up Clojure? Around what are we circling the wagons?
And we should recognize that solar that powers an entire society will be mostly utility scale, because that's so much cheaper. Utility scale solar is installed at ground level, not on roofs.

"almost"

If even useful services are being abused for speculation, it's time to realise the entire space is fundamentally broken. We've already seen massive fraud in the space, it's only a matter of time before people who fundamentally don't understand what they are "investing in" are left holding bags.

Mick West's explanation of the FLIR1 video (the one from the Nimitz incident), that it was an ordinary aircraft, makes zero sense because given the quantity and quality of situational awareness data available to the pilots who captured the video it would require an extraordinary degree of incompetence to make such a mistake.

I'm no expert on naval technology but given my limited understanding of carrier strike group operations this was my intuitive belief from the first time I heard this theory. Since then a number of knowledgeable people have confirmed that this explanation makes practically no sense.

Unless you can match the variety of work and the net value received by the engineer, you can't.

But you're not looking for the type of engineer that will succeed at consulting - these people will in general be more extroverted and will look at he risk/ROI as a life-calculus. You're looking for the less flamboyant and risk averse engineer.

I agree.

But I don't think your example has any parallels too the parent discussion.

Few people outside the US believe the US is concerned internationally with anything other than the expansion of power. So that might mean something.
Sorry if it wasn’t clear (and I can see how I left it slightly unclear).

I don’t see any viable path to paying UBI at those relatively low levels because the tax burden on people and companies is too high. (And frankly, $750/mo isn’t enough to accomplish what the UBI advocates want to promise which is to make work literally optional.)

It would be tempting to chalk it up to marginal storage controllers and/or memory or even flaky power supplies. I've seen all three result in very weird and hard to diagnose issues, which presumably a more critical and checksumming filesystem is simply better at sussing out than a more old-fashioned FS like ext4 or XFS.

But from the impression of the type of hardware you're running, I highly doubt that is the case. And of course ZFS would be affected, too.
Years ago a lived with someone one who loved to watch videos of people getting hit by cars. I watched a bunch of these by proxy. The thing that still sticks in my mind is that almost none of them were jaywalking. It was almost always a car running a red light. The people that got hit put too much faith in the lights.
Sure, but the disconnect seems to be that Mighty is advertised for people who essentially use their browser as an OS (I see Figma mentioned a lot), rather than people who just want to do basic browsing.

I think Mighty has unfairly taken the brunt of a lot of growing discontent with bloat on the web. I'm not ready to fork over $30+ for faster browsing, but I'm glad someone is working in this space, because I genuinely would like to rent a fast virtual computer for the occasional video editing task and think Mighty is a step in that direction.

Good question, what does it tell you?
let me add some extra info, the incident happened 50+ years ago in a village without electricity. So we have no light pollution or devices to distract people. There were 3 witnesses so it was no hallucination, so what could it be ? maybe insects, someone prank , or a rare phenomena.

But for sure I expect to see more videos with such phenomena ,I do not think that light pollution and less people outside in nature can explain the missing of the videos.
Society is losing the opportunity to create a lot of wealth because people are investing in silly proof-of-work (or: energy/resource wasting) ideas. It's awful, and I guess we're only going to see this over once Bitcoin is surpassed by Dogecoin (I'm sure this will happen), and then Dogecoin gets surpassed by any other stupid shitcoin out there.

The idea of cryptocurrency is interesting, but the idea of having no back at all makes no sense. Wasting energy is not creating wealth.
> Well, in Germany it is common wisdom that stick-frame houses only live for roughly 40 years

As long as the wood is protected from moisture and termites, it will get stronger over time. I have ~100 year old 2x4s in my house and they are nigh indestructible - in a way it's a bad thing because it makes renovations more difficult. Drilling into the stuff is basically impossible. Why would it last only 40 years?
40,000 acres is roughly 8 miles by 8 miles.

It isn't that big an area in the scheme of things. If you try to find a single place for it it probably won't work of course, but it is a tiny little fraction of the developed land already devoted to New York.
This was fun and a lesson to look at the code first before jumping into tcpdump/tracing

Hey! James from Ferrous here. I'm super excited to see the work Fabien has done here wrt the bbqueue algorithm, and pretty excited to see Rust + Ada/Spark working together to build more reliable libraries and tools for both ecosystems :).

I definitely want to give credit to Andrea Lattuada [1] from the Systems group at ETH Zurich, who I worked with to design the algorithm behind bbqueue, as well as Simon Cooke [2], the original author of the bip-buffer algorithm we based bbqueue on (with some thread-safe changes).

Happy to answer any questions (though my knowledge of Ada/Spark is limited), especially on the algorithm or the Rust implementation. I use it super often for embedded systems, and it also allows for ridiculous performance even on PC/Desktop/Server systems.

Artificial Intelligence and edge computing applications in the space industry
> If you cannot have compile time guarantees on correctness, the discipline to not break things becomes a key feature. On the other hand, if you have strong correctness guarantees, you may more easily incur some breakage (and thus actually fix things).

Yes, and the result of that is cabal hell. Types aren't there to help you break your API. Once the API is out and it has users it is rude to break them. The linux kernel is a prime example how far can you get if you don't break your users.
The list of reentered large debris provides a list of 11 uncontrolled examples through 1964-2018. This list is both incomplete and doesn't take into account future known events, such as the one in OP article.

I would prefer more complete data on this but the examples suggest that the largest actors in the space industry have historically contributed the most to uncontrolled large objects reentry.

> For the same reason, I don't find the argument for fixing bugs in C codebases at all compelling (at least if we're talking about "micro" bugs rather than overall architecture issues that might carry over to a future rewrite). Sure, there's a lot of C out there. Sure, a lot of the bugs in that C code are findable. But so what? However many bugs you uncover, you're unlikely to find them all, and even if you did then how would you know? So isn't fixing bugs in existing C codebases just throwing good money after bad? You know you're inevitably going to have to rewrite it all eventually anyway.

You're completely correct! The Linux kernel maintainers should stop bugfixing. It will be faster to rewrite it in a safer language than to add a one-line bugfix :-/

Oracle should also throw away their database code. As you say, it's faster to rewrite their 30m LoC database than to add a few lines of bugfixes.

Wait, hang on ... what about my volvo s/wagen? The various ECUs in it are all written in C! Certainly I don't want them to fix problems and roll out a patch next week. I'll wait the 5 years it takes for them to rewrite the entire system.

Then, of course, there's airliners. You're completely correct that we should not fix the problems in their code; we can shutdown air travel for the 8 years or so it takes to rewrite the system.

Gee, I wonder why everyone isn't as far-sighted and enlightened as you are.
Hi, yeah that would be me, the guy who "skipping content in zones artists spend months building" and you know why?

I do not give a rat's ass about the "artists spend months building" anything, I just need to be there, pick something up or kill something and I am out.

With all respect for those who enjoy the "zones artists spend months building", I am here (WoW) just to beat stuff up in a repetitive & predictable way. Until today, I have NO idea in what zone what dungeon is, or what the background of the story is of that particular monster that lives there. I have never seen a cinematic in full, turn off the sounds and run graphics at to the lowest level possible so I see stuff that is relevant (fire) and am not bothered with cosmetics (grass). And I have been p[l] aying this game (on and off) since over 10 years.

It is just a nice time waster which allows for easy & cheap boosting so I can show up with the same gear as the addicts.
> 16. And my personal pet peeve is that, by and large, most of crypto actually does want Bitcoin to die. Perhaps not in a "I want Bitcoin to go to zero", but in a, "Bitcoin doesn't do anything and so I want its value to be rightly distributed to my project, which has real utility".

This is the most frustrating thing about crypto and has been since at least 2016. Most of the projects with the highest market cap in the space either don't do anything, don't plan on doing anything and don't have any purpose.

And then you have a myriad of projects that are rewriting the traditional finance playbooks. Or blockchain infrastructure projects that are laying the foundations of what could be a fully decentralized and anonymous web. And they're worth a 100th of DOGE's market cap. Granted, they might still very well be grossly overvalued. Especially at this stage of the bull market. But the fact that there's such assymetry with projects that are at best vaporware and at worse outright scams is by far the most frustrating part of crypto.
The question being of course: is that in any way a loss?

Getting Started with Google Colab Using PyTorch
That largely is a case-by-case decision I think. Perhaps via open source work, perhaps via a short take-home assignment.

Since work in most of the US is “at will”, it’s an easy problem to solve if it turns out someone has exaggerated their abilities.

My problem is not with _any_ coding to be clear. It’s mostly the Google gotcha questions designed to make the interviewer look smart, and where the primary takeaway is that the candidate has or has not seen that question before.

Things like “let’s refactor this thing collaboratively and discuss trade offs” are fine - and discussing trade-offs gives you far more of a feel for a senior engineer than whether they can implement some trivially Googleable algorithm for which “use a library” is almost certainly the actual correct answer. This is the style of question I personally use when doing technical interviewing.
Pyston originally started as an internal project at Dropbox and they had a couple of super interesting blogposts where they detailed their approach and findings[0]. After a a year or two, the project got axed, but the devs kept working on it and then released it on their own (I don't remember the details, but evidently the chosen license for the project allowed that).

Last year (I think it was last year, but can't tell if that was 2020 or 2019) they released it on their own, thinking of a commercial model. Now they have switched to OSS+services, which is interesting because it'llopen up more people using Pyston.

I tihnk this is interesting in its own right, but yesterday we got Facebook announcing Cinder[1] -- which is unsupported to outsiders, but significantly faster than Pyston. According to Facebook, they intend for parts of Cinder to be upstreamed (and have already upstreamed a few, apparently) to CPython. So again, and sorry for using such a vague word, it'll be interesting to see how all these things play out in time.

What might attract me, as a contractor who is considering going perm in a new country -

Maybe something to do with stock/shares which become available over time, if that's something you can do. Remote working, some flexibility in working patterns, a good amount of leave each year (30 days is good) - be a good company to work for, which is friendly to family and other non-work needs and sensitive to the balance.

A reasonable amount of freedom and influence on the tech stack always helps engineer satisfaction, though the senior engineer you're looking for will likely want to keep things simple rather than chasing every new framework or language.

If you're specifically trying to attract people away from contracting then something I hear a lot from my contractor friends (and something that is important to me too) - try to cut out the corporate crap. I don't want to write an annual plan detailing my aims and commitments to the company. I don't want to buy into your corporate vision. I want to do good work and deliver what you need, but I don't want to spend half my life in pointless conversation with managers.

Sounds like an effort worth pursuing and that you may be someone good at laying it out/directing it?
I think that corporations may want to force all their users to use Mighty so that they can control exactly what goes on in the browser -- it is easier to pay Mighty to "virtualize" the browser, than it is to keep all computers up to date and without malicious extensions.

Maybe even prevent browsers from downloading files onto the local computer. A full recording of each user's sessions. Integrated password manager that uses the Mighty login to tie them all together.

So I view it as valuable to corporations and thus mighty falls into the B2B category of company which makes software end users hate, but corporations love.

Probably a fair bit of money in that.
Where I live (Texas), the alternative to wood is steel. Finding crews & builders to do custom steel framed houses is harder. Although, the price difference is such that it might make sense, now.

CEO Shoptalk – Initiative
There are too many factors that'll decide whether it'll be success or not. I believe timings and luck are often overlooked.

iPhone certainly not the first touch screen display, Microsoft did have one, I believe. However Apple's timing was perfect, there was increasing adaptation of wifi connectivity and 3g, making it able to browse anywhere. Of course smoother interface and beautiful design also contribute big.

AmongUs was lucky they got advertisement from streamer, at perfect timing that was (is) pandemic and lockdowns.

Tesla can be considered crazy because they try to emerge with unknown product, with unknown market and unknown possibility of success. If we look at the past, Apple's iPhone was crazy too, because it was new product, with unknown market.
> What I don't get is the arrogance of every side about this subject. We have no answers. We have no understanding. The government seems to be about to admit as much. But the true believers are sure, and the true debunkers, yourself included, are sure.

Generally speaking, it seems like good epistemology to withhold belief in propositions until evidence exists to support them. There aren't "two equally unreasonable cults" on the issue; it's unreasonable to believe in aliens absent evidence and it is reasonable to be skeptical of the former group's claims.
