You’re assuming the surveillance isn’t a feature.
As a European who immigrated to Canada I will respectfully disagree. Yes house prices are insane but this is true of much of the world now. However, Canada has a friendly society that is open to newcomers. The Europeans especially in the northern and western parts fancy themselves as tolerant peoples but this is just skin deep fakery. Don't fall for it. Even coming from a western country you will never be truly embraced as one of them. What sets Canada apart and the US to a lesser degree is that here if you make an effort you can actually integrate into the society and be considered a real Canadian even if you grew up elsewhere. By that I mean you will be invited to the Sunday game and your kids will be welcome to the sports team and treated as any other no matter skin color, accent or religion.

Also in Canada there is a certain level of maturity and compassion that most other societies do not have. This is well illustrated by the COVID vaccination figures and the whole response to this crisis as well as the previous ones.

No country is perfect but one would need to search long and hard to beat Canada.

Are you thinking of aluminum recycling, which is much easier than aluminum smelting, which is not an incredibly efficient process? I think recycling aluminum requires 5% of the energy that smelting it requires.
U+0007 represents the character for ‘make the bell on the teletypewriter ring.’ This isn’t practically used by hardly anyone today, but it remains a part of the Unicode standard and probably will forever. I don’t want to disparage Unicode, because it does provide a good solution to the problem. But it has its own issues and its own degree of complexity.

This issue is something I’ve been thinking about lately since since beginning to use Gemini. Gemini is a minimalistic file transfer protocol, like HTTP but for transferring plaintext. But it builds on top of Unicode, of course, and so it inherits all of Unicode’s complexity. Suddenly, the most difficult part for Gemini client authors is not implementing the protocol itself, but correctly handling the complexity of Unicode text rendering. (E.g. https://gmi.skyjake.fi/gemlog/2021-07_lagrange-1.6.gmi)

Obviously, I’m not proposing replacing Unicode. But Unicode is complex, and that complexity ends up being inherited by all projects built on top of it. That’s an example of complexity that’s super easy to miss unless you’re looking for it. Which I think is the original author’s point. Unless you actively try to decrease complexity, complexity only increases.

Surveillance is basically how new toll roads are implemented, at least where I live. It's much faster (and better for the environment) to take photos of license plates and bill later, than it is to make everyone stop at a toll booth.
Video games load everything ahead of time and pull user input every frame. Desktop environments tend to be event driven and load stuff as needed. This is a legacy mindset IMHO. Gnome is getting triple buffering in the compositor. Why not just do the compositing every frame as was intended under Wayland? Because reasons.
No read the dome example again. You are wrong. Nortons dome is literally demonstrating there is proof for the non deterministic case.

I've discussed this in other places but the theorem you reference only applies to functions that are Lipschitz continuous. Not all functions have this property globally and the dome and also the three body problem are two examples of things that are not Lipschitz continuous.

Read it carefully. Nortons Dome is saying that the mathematical model described by newtons laws of classical mechanics is in itself non-deterministic.

> Is there a deeper, so-called superdeterministic reality underneath quantum mechanics? Some people think yes, and it has not been disproved, but it is pretty far out of the mainstream from what I can tell.

Never made this claim. Not even Einstein made this claim. Simply put, it felt wrong to Einstein simply because probability is a sort of bayesian outlook on the world. It's an admission that we lack knowledge about a system. Such is the case for much of science but not quantum mechanics?

Hence the quote by Einstein: "God does not play dice with the universe." Either way not saying that quantum mechanics is crap and wrong but this is a possibility the mainstream definitely considers in a very speculative philosophical fashion. The quantum model works extraordinarily well but at the same time it's inconsistent with relativity and you gotta admit something is a bit off here when considered from the Bayesian angle.

The Loopop video definitely had me interested at the time but I think I kind of just got busy and forgot about it. Then happened to have a conversation with one of the guys at Sound on sound and he sold me on it. Right now there is great kit out there for samplers. Also check out the Isla s2400 if a more 1980s sp-12/1200 workflow interests you. Both are essential gear for me now.
This is very hard to make into a progressive tax when you take into account that structurally it will 1) raise prices for all goods and most services, disproportionately impacting the poor and 2) higher paying job categories demand less driving structurally. On top of that, it will significantly change incentives on where people live and work -- rural areas are already very expensive in terms of difficulty to acquire goods and services, so adding a massive tax because you have to drive a lot when you live there will significantly damage an already poor population and wreck property values. This is a correct cost application, but there's massive political power against it, both in terms of the Senate's structural ruralness and the structural rural power inside most states.
Has anyone ever generated a single watt of nuclear power and the bill for its cleanup been paid in full?
I did the questionnaire and it didn't show me its guesses.
Ah, no. I was wrong. It's lite salt. 50% each.
Wow, kind of surprised to see people being okay with this.

- This will disproportionately hit the poor and working class people even more on top of the pandemic impacts they are already suffering from.

- Rich tech workers for example who get to work from home won't be paying much at all. Meanwhile the poor labour workers/nurses/delivery etc jobs which can't be achieved without driving to/for work will get the burden.

- I am not sure how they can achieve this honestly without adding even more surveillance.

And for what? So more money gets into the pockets of the corrupt and bloated government so they can spend it on wars?

> You'll basically never land an investor at a startup conference or pitch contest or any "my idea/execution is going to be more lucrative than other people that you also don't know" scenario

Every startup I know or have worked at went through a pitch contest that was pretty boring and not at all based on relationships. You often speak to multiple funds, they kick the tires, interview the team, size out the market opportunity, look at revenue or users, or growth or whatever you have, and they choose to invest. My wife's company also had a PE firm invest in her company and they did the same process and are focused on growth. No one is doing favors for anyone else.

What are you basing your answer on? No offense, but it sounds like you're just going off a caricature of how a very young inexperienced person thinks business happens.

> The only thing that is a waste of time is being extremely good at a discipline and hoping that translates into financial investment. It is not an important part of the puzzle.

It’a funny that’s the first (and often simplest and most gratuitous) form of abstraction. What does compel people to start here? It’s like when you read about serial killers, the first thing you find out is that they started with torturing animals.

I almost want to make a simple programming interview test (perhaps a Rorschach test) where the task is to take something simple and create a directory architecture - the more files the better.

I’d only hire the person that doesn’t do the task. If you see dozens of files when the picture is presented to you, then I’m worried.

What if EV owners produce their own solar power or whatever?

Anyway, the whole thing is moot. We shouldn’t be taxing EVs until they’re at least 50% of the vehicle pool. The LAST thing we need is to disincentivize purchase of EVs over ICEs. (Which in many states like Virginia we already do, since punitive higher-than-gas-tax EV fees are applied, have to pay sales and personal property tax on the battery, have to pay regular taxes on electricity… I think policy makers still think EV owners are getting a “free ride,” and aren’t aware of these extra fees.)

Until we have a full carbon tax, we shouldn’t be taxing EVs.
I think this is only true for your Series A and B - that's when actively losing money (and barely having anything to show, like growth numbers or a go-to-market strategy) is to be expected. Although I suppose once you hit a series C you're not necessarily considered a startup.
Thanks for pointing me to the Isla S2400! Just wanted to make sure, when you say "Right now there is great kit out there for samplers", I'm not sure what you mean? Are you referring to the Tracker, the S2400, or something else?

Paying the true cost when you haven’t been previously is understandably inconvenient. I find it absolutely fascinating how much this occurs across human civilization (benefit programs, infrastructure, fossil energy consumption are a few examples) and critiques of it are quietly ignored or pushed aside.

A Ponzi or pyramid scheme aren’t the right words, but it’s closer to a species wide confidence game at scale. Everyone knows it, no one wants to fix it, they just want a chair when the music stops.

> Things like org-mode and gnus are a distraction: emacs core should focus on programming modes

Emacs can and has been doing both of these for a long time. Emacs is unlike anything else out there because it empowers the user, who does not need to be programmer. The popular Helm package is maintained by a mountain climbing trainer for almost a decade. We want more of such users. We want more casual users who, during their Emacs journey will get encouraged to start tinkering and then become programmers.

> on using a non-free platform like Github/GitLab, and on supporting MacOS.

MacOS is already supported, as I understand. Github/Gitlab advice zounds nice, but we have to zoom out on this. Emacs is older than most programmers out there. It is older than git and bazaar. Using Github/Gitlab sounds nice, but it locks you in. Besides, Email is ubiquitous. If you have a network connected device, it can probably send/receive email.
This goes too far for me. There's nothing wrong with trying out the tech of the week and learning from it. Just don't go crazy needlessly rewriting old code or adding new frameworks to things all the time.
in programming, a good abstraction is kind of like automation. programming is automation, and creating abstraction is automation of programming. (on the stupidest level, think C++ templates). if all programming is automation, automation of programming is still programming. (there’s no real difference between a program that will automatically write program out of my specifications, and a DSL). so programming is the fixed point of automation, kinda like exponent is the fixed point of differentiation

in reality it works in a negative way. programmers hunt for un-automated stuff to automate. it’s like the state violence, that hunts for other kinds of violence. if you destroy all non-state violence, you end up with a lot of state violence to constantly perpetuate. if you automate all that is not automated, the only not-automated activity will be the activity of automation (programming)
The article states the the type of roads you drive on will be a factor in your cost. Large semis taking highways will be charged less than small state roads that crumble under the weight.
From a sysadmin perspective, I'm afraid this would lead to containers lying around with random unsupported versions of various software -- you need to rebuild the container after every bug found, and upgrade the runtime (if it isn't LTS from the upstream) periodically, right? (however, I quit sysadmin job some time ago, so I'm not sure what the current trend is)
Problem is you're going to have a VERY hard time tearing away a senior elixir dev because the dev experience is good enough that it smooths over the pain of working with a crappy codebase/crappy domain problem [0], and senior elixir devs with elixir experience are in very high demand right now.

For OP, can't say for sure if that translates to learning elixir as a career choice.

[0] note that crappy domain problems also often pay relatively well because they aren't sexy and less people want to be working in them
To progress I have to learn then to practice.

For any "applied" discipline practicing imperfectly lets me memorize bad form.

Therefore a (as much as possible) more advanced practitioner than me must periodically check my practice. He must understand that some parts of the discipline may have to be adapted to each practitioner (his 'perfect' practice may not be mine)...

For anything not completely theoretical (is if even possible?) this is a can of worms.

I don't qualify for a gasoline tax exemption for my usage.

Edit: For more clarification, gasoline is not taxed in my state based on usage but on sales (though the distinction may not be significant in this case). If mileage is taxed based on usage, it seems reasonable (though perhaps not feasible) to tax it only based on usage of roads the government controls. There is also a number of people (though very unlikely to be a high portion of the population) who have registered vehicles that are rarely used on public roads. You might see this with street legal race cars or street legal off road vehicles, both of which may be mostly trailered except in rare cases. I certainly have no issue paying for what I use, but it can get burdensome when I'm penalized by the governemnt for not using government products or services.

Trusting the people in power now wouldn’t make me any more ok with this. To find constant tracking of everyone acceptable, you would have to be naive enough to believe not only that your current masters are benevolent but that all the future masters would be too.

You would think recent experience would be enough to teach Americans that sometimes untrustworthy people win elections. Maybe don’t hand them absolute power ahead of time.
Agreed. The bug report was one reporter and a maintainer discussing a bug for 2 months back in 2015, and at the end the maintainer says he believes he’d fixed it. Then no more messages. After 5 years of no complaints after a likely fix, closing it is very, very reasonable.

The difference is not the size of the stones, but the quality of workmanship. You could imagine the competent masons doing most of the building, and leaving the top bits for the apprentices to slap together in a hurry, but it would be a stretch.
