None of us are morally above reproach. Sure. But we all feel like we draw the line somewhere and say, yep, too far, won't do it.

> In fact if the Sgt Pepper recording that sounds so right to you is in stereo (which has been the default version since 1968), you yourself aren't listening to the original canonical one.

Just to add for neophytes-- audio improvements over the past 100 years have no discernible relationship to the pace or quality of video improvements.

I say this because at least in the U.S. it is a highly visual culture. If you look at leaps from black and white to color to digital to hidef to 4k, etc. (and especially increasing framerate), you get a sense of monumental improvements in quality. New shit looks so good that the old shit is ruined now because it looks blurry by comparison and can even be pain-inducing to watch.

So one might think, "Gee, stuff in stereo must be twice as good as old shit in mono!" But even paxys example of Sgt Pepper isn't pedantry. It's not just that mono versions are the canonical ones that the band actually help mix and approve. It's that they sound great. A listener doesn't have to do the aural version of "squinting" to hear what the Beatles were doing in that album.

>100% it can be modelled somehow in theory.

The entire premise of modelling something rests on the fact that the behaviour of what you're trying to model in the future depends on its behaviour in the past.

This is not true for all systems, it's not even true for most systems. John Kay differentiates between 'resolvable uncertainty' and 'radical uncertainty'. Modelling a volcano eruption is resolvable because it's a reasonably predictable system and you can make confident stochastic claims. Complex human systems are chaotic, have 'unknown unknowns', are simply subject to chance or non-linear behaviour that completely throws any prediction off.

You cannot model something that is subject to forces you cannot even know at the point of making the model, and this is true for any complex human system pretty much. Modelling Covid as if we have access to Hari Seldon's psycho-history was always a terrible idea.

I found the article kind of misleading: using memcpy for c-string is generally a bad idea, unless string length is bound with string buffer like std::string. Otherwise it will make code review very difficult.

In our team c-string is prefixed with sz_, e.g. char sz_name[13], and we always use a safe subset(or a safe replacement) of strxxx functions with these sz_ prefixed variables. Using memxxx with sz_ variables is explicitly forbidden, since it may break the NULL-terminating contract.

The sz_ prefix convention is by no ways like the hungarian naming nonsense. Suppose that you have "char sz_name[13]" in a structure of configuration parameters, sz_ tells the guy changing the field to keep it NULL-terminated, if they don't, it's their fault. On the other side, users of this field can safely use printf("%s", sz_name) without the risk of crashing the program.

For safe replacements of strcpy, I recommend:

Starting a company is a crucible in every sense, brutal but transformative. For some people, they come out the other side a better person in almost every sense, with a much stronger identity and mental fortitude. For other people, and I might argue most people, it is destructive in a very real way and I know of many examples. People who haven’t done it truly underestimate the level of pressure across many aspects of life that entrepreneurship entails, even if you are vaguely successful. It isn’t to be envied per se, though I’ve done it multiple times and would place myself in the former category.

It is a calling. I don’t recommend it for almost anyone but some people are compelled to do it. There is little to recommend that lifestyle. Society won’t reward it one whit unless you are spectacularly successful.

But… There is much to be said for the opportunity to take that risk nonetheless. You can’t do that everywhere.
The problem in this instance is that the percentage is very high on one side and very low on the other, meaning there's little incentive to avoid civilian casualties. Considering that the risk faced by American civilians is approximately zero, the risk to those civilians in other countries that America is at war with should be zero likewise.

I am interested because I am one of those people whose "reaction will probably be the same". I think I do appreciate cultural and historical differences between different groups of people, but I don't understand how having a more interesting story behind [insert injustice] would lead to a better outcome for everyone.

These days I tend to avoid real life discussions about these issues with people because whenever someone pulls out the "you don't understand their culture and history" card it's pretty much the end of a conversation or just an argument between beliefs.

I remember having it on my ipod touch way back in 2012 when it was only around 7gb.
Because Tesla doesn't have LiFePO4 (which, technically, is a category of lithium-ion, just a less exciting variant) production, and isn't using them in their cars, so they don't have a bunch around. They're using a low-cobalt variant of NMC, last I checked, though that may have changed to NCA at some point. They're not nearly as exciting as LCO (lithium cobalt oxide, high energy density and really, really happy to come apart at the seams), but still can runaway pretty happily if they get hot enough.

You can get LFP to runaway as well, it's just a lot harder, requires far higher temperatures, and doesn't release nearly as much energy.

LFP is good for grid storage, though depending on what you're doing, if you don't mind a bit of watering (or catalytic recombiners), flooded lead acid is pretty darn boring. Not the most efficient (though if you run it from 30% to 80% SoC like lithium, it's quite efficient, and the newer lead-carbon combinations resist hard sulfation pretty well), but it lacks the exciting failure modes of lithium.

Especially if you have flooded lead acid, the battery just doesn't have the energy to boil all the water out. The only real risk is hydrogen buildup, and that's easy enough to mitigate by giving it "Up and to the outside" path - it goes up really, really well and a bit of fresh air plus a path up mitigates just about all hydrogen buildup issues.

There's no particularly good reason to use a high energy density lithium cell for grid storage unless that's just what you have laying around, which was obviously the case for Tesla.

And, apparently, their cooling system can't handle a runaway as well as they thought.
I've been thinking that if I have a "power wall" I will want it outside a good distance from the house and in its own cinderblock bunker.

I wonder if it would make sense to install these larger batteries over concrete "basements" or pits and have mechanisms to "drop" them — maybe flood the pit with water.

> A lot of jobs have been replaced but new jobs have been created and society has absorbed the increased productivity.

Not in every case. You can look at workers in the Rust Belt. Their well paying jobs with benefits were "replaced" and new jobs never came, unless you think working at Walmart for close to minimum wage is one of those new jobs.

Even when, say, manufacturers come back and produce domestically, they've reduced what used to be a 1,000+ person job to one that requires 40 engineers and a handful of maintenance people. It's not like any of those factory workers who were laid off in the past were later rehired as engineers, either.

It isn't "society" that's absorbed absorbed increased worker productivity, but employers and those who own the automation. Worker productivity in the US increased dramatically over the last 20 years, and even more over the last 40. Despite that, worker compensation hasn't increased, and has roughly remained the same over those same 40 years[1].

It’s only used by many because it’s the only scripting language on the web browser, and not due to anything intrinsic to the language.

So it’s popularity tells us nothing about the language, and more about the fact that it’s the only language on the most popular platform.

That's a good question. I suspect in this case it's a matter of Tesla having a large supply of a certain kind of cell at low cost, so that's what they used in Powerwalls. If someone else can make a product that is cheaper, safer, and lasts much longer by using LFP cells, then there won't be any reason to buy Tesla's product. In the long run I expect LFP (or whatever supersedes LFP) to win in the end.

I don't know if there are any LFP-based Powerwall-equivalent products, but I assume they must exist at this point and are probably being deployed in utility power storage projects. I just don't see why you wouldn't use LFP unless you either can't get them for a reasonable cost, or these things are being deployed in unheated facilities that experience below-freezing temperatures (LFP generally can't be charged in sub-freezing temperatures).
In the current climate of marauding twitter mobs in constant search of food for their outrage cycle, I think I'd better not give them more information than necessary.
One upside for companies is that the unions are better able to represent the interests of the employees than, for example, the HR department would be able to, simply because of the incentives at play. This could attract more talent to the company, improve retention, and give the company more insight into the employees' needs.

Really no to that, where is this coming from? Stripe is Stripe and yes perhaps a couple of huge companies here and there may give Sorbet a try (although I believe Shopify didn't go this route, neither has Github afaik), but as a community Ruby is a dynamic community. And also, Ruby is much more characterized as a tech for small-mid teams (where types are arguably not helpful) than as an enterprise tech which is mostly typed.

The sad irony today is that it would literally take any group that is discussing this topic 10 minutes to collectively google, wikipedia, and summarize some real facts to lead the discussion to something higher level than historical facts that almost no one knows.

This phenomenon isn't limited to this topic by any means. Lately I've been noticing how so much of conversation is filler by people attempting to figure out readily available facts by sharing anecdotes and making generalizations from those. Not to mention when people get upset because they're both convinced they're right, when a quick search could clear it up instantly. Do people genuinely enjoy this part of socializing or is everyone still not used to the idea of having infinite search power in the palm of our hands at all times?
