Why would 40 years of computer science experience be relevant to predicting how most people behave? If you had said psychology or something, I can see it being relevant.
I'm saying that if you make someone hate your guts, it will be very hard for them to be objective.

And Trump didn't even need to be friends with them, just somewhat neutral. He just couldn't help himself. After an entire life with a flawed personality, as we say in Romania: "only the casket straightens the hunchback".

> It sounds like McKenzie-Scott’s idea of giving is more hands off, identifying teams that had a history of doing good work, and giving them both resources and mental space to execute.

I think there's something to be said for this. It's clear none of those people were in it for the money, the prestige, and are passionate enough about that they would risk their health for an unknown gain (its often very hard to measure whether or not your one night of sleeping less actually made the world better). Receiving a one-time donation of someone of MacKenzie's stature not only gives them breathing room but also puts them on the map as a charity a billionaire "invested" into.

> ...my observation is that about 95% of software developers have a complexity fetish.

Agreed.

Further, I've been ridiculed throughout my career for my efforts to simplify.

Nominally smart people just can't grasp that simplifying is harder. They'll dismiss the result, not appreciating the process.
Well, most Windows applications you have to actually deploy are compiled with MSVC, and historically most OSS libs don’t use cross platform build scripts, etc.

FFTW these days I think has a CMakeLists.txt file, and Visual Studio well supports CMake now but it didn’t used to.
You are right of course about the tuk-tuk not cruising at 90 kph. I used that because consumption at that speed is about the only figure I can be confident of regarding the Tesla; it's hard to find a road where I can travel the requisite 10 km at 22 kph to get a good consumption reading. Perhaps I'll give it a try if I can find a place to do it, I read somewhere that someone did an economy run in a Model S and got a thousand km range at something like 30 kph.

I think that the Tesla probably benefits from an economy of scale both in manufacturing volume and advanced motor and inverter design.

According to our favourite search engine tuk-tuks weigh between 250 and 450 kg so with driver and passenger the smaller ones are about one sixth the mass of my car, the bigger ones a bit over a quarter.

The small motor in the tuk-tuk is probably much less efficient than the Tesla motor even in the middle of its power range. Also I doubt that the tuk-tuk would have especially effective regenerative breaking because doing this automatically requires coordination with the mechanical brakes. I'm pretty confident that no vehicle in the tuk-tuk weight class other than some specially designed research vehicle will travel a kilometre on only 17 Whr, certainly not one carrying passengers. The losses will be dominated by rolling resistance. Or did I misinterpret your factor of ten?

For comparison an electric scooter with a 36 V, 7.5 Ah battery has a range of 25 km, that's 10.8 Wh/km. See https://stayclassy.no/collections/el-sparkesykkel/products/c...

Anyway, none of this is meant to detract from the achievement of the guy with the solar powered tuk-tuk.

P.s. not that it makes any real difference but the roads are Norwegian not US. :-)

The Vermont Food Bank, an organization I support and know well, received $9 million.

“John Sayles, CEO of the Vermont Foodbank said he received an email on Dec. 3 from a philanthropic adviser who said their client was interested in making a donation. Shortly thereafter, Sayles learned who was making the donation and how much it was for.

“And then I just spent about a day in shock,” Sayles said.

The gift is “exponentially” bigger than any other the nonprofit has received, Sayles said. The amount is the equivalent of the organization’s annual operating budget.”

> The PineNote is one of, if not the, most powerful e-ink device available on the market. It shares in much of the Quartz64’s pedigree, sporting the same RK3566 quad-core A55 SoC paired with 4GB of LPDDR4 RAM and 128GB eMMC flash storage.

There's so much opportunity in the e-ink space just waiting for something to crack open. E-ink devices have felt so much like the TI-84 of the tablet world, or inkjet printers 25 years ago - overpriced and underpowered.

There's a lot of work ahead for the Pine community to get to performance on par with existing e-ink tablets. Remarkable's setting the example now, which is frankly quite an achievement on two 1.2GHz cores with 1GB RAM. Pine's twice as many, ~50% faster cores, with 4x the RAM should help.

That's really positive if that's the case -- I was under the impression that some of this had to do with the hardware itself.

At the very least though, aren't they are doing some special stuff with how they mount the screen and where they're sourcing their plastic texture cover from? I thought that offset was one of the big reasons they didn't have a backlight -- which the Pinenote will have I think.

But this makes me feel a lot more confident about the PineNote if most of the latency at least comes down to framebuffer access.
I agree, but then you should focus on hiring people with these specific predispositions, and not trying to teach your developers FP from scratch.

man gets

...

SECURITY CONSIDERATIONS
The gets() function cannot be used securely. Because of its lack of
bounds checking, and the inability for the calling program to reliably
determine the length of the next incoming line, the use of this function
enables malicious users to arbitrarily change a running program's func-
tionality through a buffer overflow attack. It is strongly suggested
that the fgets() function be used in all cases. (See the FSA.)

The scale is the problem, the assumptions you make for a 100k rps system break for a 1m rps system. For example, in a 10k rps system “just shard it and add another replica” might work but at 100x the throughput your replication strategy itself can break.

The load isn't the only issue either you also have availability SLAs you need to meet that force you to design the system to tolerate faults at that scale or else half the internet gets taken down. Your system has to be broken up at a granularity where many engineers can work in parallel to diagnose and mitigate an issue when your service does get taken down to minimize downtime. “Scale breaks everything” as they say.
I agree it's definitely value based. I've own a hydroflask which is a fairly expensive water bottle and I got it for free, so I value it pretty highly. I think I'm more likely to lose my wallet of plastic/replaceable credit cards than I am my water bottle. Plus it's just a big object, so it actually takes up (virtual?imaginary?) space in my mind.

The skepticism is warranted for any bleeding edge technology. I wonder if there's another version of a Turing test when a technology can be considered sufficiently advanced when it's indistinguishable from a fake version you've seen in sci-fi. E.g, the Boston Dynamics' dancing robot video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fn3KWM1kuAw) still looks fake to me because it's at the level that I would expect to see from Hollywood CGI rather than a real tech demo. If I saw the video anywhere else but on the BD page, I would have enjoyed it and forgotten about it since it's an average CGI video.

I’ve always found it interesting to consider the simplest possible spec you could give 100 programmers and receive no bugs in return.
I've recently bought two used cars -- one from Carvana (about 2 years ago) and one from a dealer (in the last month).

In both instances, I paid with a certified check, so financing complications did not come up.

In my experience, Carvana was a substantially easier process. I picked the car out online, "ordered" it, and they showed up a few days later with a flatbed and put the car in my driveway. I signed some paperwork and we were done in less than an hour at my house.

The dealership took almost 3 hours to get me out of the door even though we had done a fair amount of work up-front to avoid having to spend time at the dealership. I suspect a lot of this could have been mitigated by the dealership if they were better with paperwork and interfacing with the DMV or doing some work ahead of time.

In the end, however, I'd rather not buy from Carvana again. You have no room to negotiate and their customer service is not great. Their prices generally aren't better than the dealer's prices BEFORE you negotiate with the dealers. If you're buying a newer used car (I usually buy cars that are 2-3 years old), the certified warranties that the car manufactures offer are a really nice bonus that Carvana can't offer.

For example, I just picked up a certified 2019 with around 19k miles. It's basic warranty will now run until 2025 or 100k miles. And the manufacturer warranties, in my experience, are substantially better than after-market warranties since the dealers' service departments work directly with the manufacture on servicing them and the dealers are more aligned with your interests than the manufactures' since they make a lot of money off doing repairs. Whereas third-party warranties are more like insurance and you better have your ducks in a row if you actually need to make a claim and expect to have it paid.
I've never used or looked at Typesense (I've been perfectly happy as a Meilisearch user), but your characterisation of interacting with Meilisearch is so alien it makes me wonder if we've been looking at the same project.

Across the assortment of Meilisearch repositories, I've raised two PRs (one accepted, one rejected), five issues, one feature request and pinged one issue for an update.

Every single time the Meilisearch team has been responsive, communicative and generally a delight to interact with - there are very few projects I would consider better.

Just thought I'd throw in my experience.

I appreciate your response, above. For me it is less about employers and more about clients, and it is less about frustration and more about an open challenge.

So your advice can maybe translated as "fire your customer".

And I partly agree. There are two sides though. For one, as I'm growing and learning, I see more potential to make things better, more robust, more usable and long lasting. On the other hand we (small team) have a principle that we don't sell things our clients don't need, and we make that very clear and have said "no" in the past to adhere to that principle.

So it is really a balancing act of really understanding and communicating what technical and design quality means vs. understanding how providing it will positively impact our relationships and their goals.

I've been thinking more and more about this issue in recent years, because I realized that I/we cannot compete on quantity or speed, but rather on trust and quality if that makes sense.
I made something similar myself, although it's only printing.

Why was the US there for 20 years?

I suspect that the main objective could have been achieved quickly and we might be back to exactly that point (Taliban in power but with the understanding that they should not cross red lines).

But if the objective was to somehow change the country and make it more 'Westernized' then then that was rather arrogant and that did not end better than in Iran...

There were real pushes from the early 70s on to combat pollution from many sources. One thing that many Americans will remember from then (or from seeing it later) is the "Crying Indian" ad from 1971. Pollution also made it into songs about little things like the 1969 Cuyahoga River fire that provided a lot of push for the passage of the Clean Water Act not long after.

He forgot a big one: Massive use of fossil fuels, whose long term effects are, depending on where you live, threatening to undermine that very standard of living.

The challenge of this generation will be trying to figure out how to improve and that standard of living while undoing it's fossil fuel dependency. That may in turn require redefining what a high standard of living is.

By law, the water from the tap may only contain 1 microgram pollutants per liter, and the water companies usually set themselves stricter standards (and stricter than the standards for bottled water, IIRC). Assuming you drink 2 liters per day that is 0.066 grams over the course of a 80 year life. If the cause of the illness of your family is is the tap water, then it is very likely a problem with the plumbing in or near your house.

However, even that is very unlikely. Even if the plumbing in your house is lead, that's not likely to make you ill immediately (but it will over the long term). If the pipes leak, then the water is more likely to go out than pollution getting in, due to the water pressure. Given that several members of a family get ill, the overwhelmingly more likely explanation is either a contagious disease, or food poisoning.

That’s awesome! I walked into a highly regarded area dealer, ready to buy, and the guy pulled out pre-printed four-square sheets. Took about five minutes of that before I walked out and got online, coincidentally with Carvana, where I found exactly the trim I wanted at a better price than any of the local dealers.
