I'm not the person you're replying to but I can put in my two cents on what I miss often in modern designs:

- Information density. This is especially a problem with communication tools, which for some reason are all copying Slack and leaving very little screen space for the thing you actually want to see - the text that the other person is writing. Messages go off the screen very quickly and a lot of screen space is spent on decorations (user icons, names, speech bubbles, padding) leaving it with basically the density of comic chat. Graphic background images with semitransparent visual elements on top are another similar trend which uses a lot of padding to not obscure the background too much, and the transparency makes contrast and readability worse.

- Affordance discoverability. Many modern user interfaces have a lot of functionality hidden behind catchall elements like a user icon, a gear icon, or a hamburger menu. This may be a misguided attempt to make the user interface "cleaner" but it makes it very difficult to find what functionality is available unless you go exploring. This is especially bad for context-dependent functionality because there's no visual indication that the hidden contents of the catchall have changed.

- Delineated targets. A lot of modern designs have flatness as a design concept, meaning the click or tap targets are not clearly separated from the static parts of the interface. This makes it hard to know that they are targets (as it's common to have nonclickable decorative graphics too) and hard to tell where exactly they start/end so it causes extra cognitive load in order to hit them precisely.

- Non-gigantic targets. This is related to the low information density mentioned above. More and more designs target smartphone displays, which used to be very small and require big targets to ensure they could be mashed with normal human fingers. However, this gets reused on tablets, modern gigantic smartphones, and even desktop, where none of this makes sense.

- High-contrast targets with identifiable icons. Low-contrast or monochrome targets have become fashionable. Clickable items often have simplified, highly abstracted icons with thin-line monochrome content, frequently implemented as fonts, which is less distracting from the visuals of the design but is also hard to understand what it's supposed to represent. Another common one is having said elements in grey on grey, making them very difficult to read for people with less than perfect vision.

- Less modality. Many modern designs will have modal interface elements that prevent access to the rest of the user interface until interacted with and/or dismissed. The "blur the content and put a tiny dialog with a huge button in the middle" is a common tactic, and is often user-hostile nudging trying to get the user to do something they don't really want in order to get rid of the thing that is literally blocking their access to whatever they were actually doing.

This is basic human-computer interaction design stuff, but somehow it's all gotten lost.
What I’m more worry about those Renewables stuff is their ressource footprint , when you look at how much « rare earth » « composite » material is needed to build just one its seems like a nonsense to use wind their are many documentaries on this topic. Today the vast majority of those turbines are not recycled.

On top of that wind being intermittent you need gas power plant to provide.

France power provider RTE estimated that if the country moved to 100% renewable it would need 12 times its gas capacity or 10% of ALL lithium available on earth for battery.

1st gen renewable are far from a panacea.

For those wondering, usually you can't reuse solar panels for anything grid-tied in the US as resellers typically remove manufacturers labels, which means they won't pass inspection.

Additionally, any new solar installs have to use the newest standards, which means a per-panel rapid shutdown module, meaning you want the biggest capacity panel you can get, and used panels are typically 30% less sticker capacity than whatever sells as new.

Off-grid usage is another story entirely. There, used panels make a lot of sense.

Simplicity does not contradict architecture. For some (me included), it is even the essence of it. Leave out the bells and whistles. This is why JSON is so successful, even though we had XML long ago. Technology should be more of that, and I would consider it superior architecture.
The key idea: Optional[T] is more ergonomic through pattern matching, because inside the matched case, we definitely know whether it's carrying a value or not. The whole problem of nullability gets an elegant solution.

The fun premise from the beginning is that booleans do not need their special type, they are effectively Optional[Void], or for FP-heads here, Optional[Unit]. That is, it just does not need to carry a value. But when an Optional does carry a value, a lot of if-then-else logic for handling that value just gets eliminated, replaced by a pattern match that combines both the boolean aspect and the value-handling aspect.

Depends where you are. In my state in Australia the wind tends to be more negatively correlated with daylight (i.e. it's more likely to be more windy overnight) but down south it tends to be a bit more the other way.

Then there's offshore, where there's a higher likelihood to be more consistently windy just generally.

Your general point on the luxury of choice stands, but I think it goes much farther back than the industrial age. It's ultimately a question on meaning which is not new.
Oh okay so basically your argument is 'my premise is certainly true and the counter example you provided is simply an exception that I didn't mention'
I would say Unix is a system designed to be simple and powerful. It takes a lot of thinking to achieve a system which is both simple AND powerful. Whereas things like XML and Multics are powerful they can do everything but they are not simple. In the end that limits their power because they are hard to learn and things built with them are difficult to understand, because they are not simple. And when something is hard to understand it is also error-prone, and such a system is fragile.

It takes "astronauts" who think hard about the architecture to come up with systems that are simple and powerful at the same time.

Solar is indeed long term cheaper to install but subject to periodic down-time. Wind blows at night and when it is cloudy. Also the nature of our atmosphere is that there is always some wind somewhere. So, they are complementary.

Right now everybody is focused on getting to 100% carbon neutral. However, the question must be asked: why stop there and not go to something like 500 or even 1000% energy generation.

There will be plenty of things we can do with the excess energy. I think this will play out over the next few decades. Mass produced solar will go on any available surface just because we can. There are already some lower efficiency but potentially very cheap to produce solar systems based on e.g. organic materials that can be printed on flexible surfaces (i.e. not glass). Having that stuff put all over the place is going to make an impact.

Solar is already regularly creating surpluses regularly. It's a huge problem for energy providers because they have to shut down more expensive to manage production when that happens. Any time you see a wind mill not spinning, don't assume it is because it is broken and instead consider that there might be too much wind power temporarily.

A structural surplus will create supply of very cheap (often negatively priced even) energy. There are all sorts of valuable things we can do with that.

The turbines automatically shut off to protect themselves, not the system, from my understanding.

They have a max amount of power they can generate per turbine anyway, and I would imagine that's designed around.

> Therefore I suspect that in the long run (10 years? 100 years?) solar energy will be more common than wind energy.

This doesn't follow at all.

Even if solar was 100% efficient there would still be many cases where wind power would be preferred. Overcast days, night, and very high latitudes where seasonal effects means there are months where solar isn't very useful are just a few cases.

Nonsense. It's your choice, as a reader, to refuse to entertain it as an honest discussion, just because you don't like its style. And it's your choice to ascribe bad-faith intentions to the writer just because you don't like its style. (Note that the writer even defined the concept of bad faith as he was referring to it, and was not using it in the way you are.)

It's striking how preferences in programming languages seem to mirror preferences in communication style: You demand that the writer express himself in your preferred style, and if he does not, you accuse him of not writing in good faith. The writer, on the other hand, writes in a liberal style, full of metaphor and references to philosophies outside of computer science.

You only tolerate a narrow range of expression, while he welcomes wide and varied expression. You take offense rather than seeking to understand the intended meaning, while he takes into account others' interpretations and tries to meet in the middle: https://hyperthings.garden/posts/2021-08-30/freeing-your-goa...

Recently read in an article about turbine scaling, that an 18% increase in blade length translates into 45% increase in power output.

Scaling is extremely lucrative. And break even for these turbines is aroun 5 to 8 years, with active life of around 30.
It is useful because the energy produced by a wind turbine at a certain location is proportional to its peak output.
I really love the policy notes:

Microsoft Policy

Remind can be made to run under Windows if you compile it with the Cygwin tools. However, I prefer you not to do that. Microsoft has in the past abused its monopoly position in an attempt to restrict free software, and currently exercises its dominant position in the business computing industry to lock its customers in. I'd prefer you to run Remind on a platform that is not controlled by Microsoft.

Apple Policy

Remind can be made to run under Mac OS X, but I prefer you not to do that. Apple is even more hostile than Microsoft to openness, using both technical and legal means to hobble what its customers and developers are allowed to do. If you are thinking of buying an Apple product, please don't. If you're unfortunate enough to already own Apple products, please consider switching to an open platform like Linux or FreeBSD that doesn't impose "1984"-like restrictions on your freedom.
Tim Bray, a major Internet technology pioneer, said it best in his blog post:

As required by Newsom’s executive order, the agency said it paid particular attention to equity — focusing on areas with high “poverty levels, residents with disabilities, language barriers, residents over 65 or under five years of age, and households without a car.”

Is the same “equity” philosophy guiding California’s responses to crime and homelessness?

How does one apply this rubric to management of national forests in California? I don’t understand.

The next mayor of NYC, Eric Adams, ran and won on a pro-police platform. He won in one the most diverse cities in the US, with the diverse bloc (his highest voter support was in majority black and hispanic neighborhoods) carrying him to victory. I wouldn't say this group is the law and order reactionaries you mentioned. Also, he is bringing back past policies that were labeled as racist. Why do you think he won with such a platform?

Here are some of those issues.

- Bringing back the plainclothes police unit that was famously disbanded last summer.

- Deploy more police to poor neighborhoods.

- Bring back a variation of stop and frisk (stop, ask questions and frisk).

> Today the vast majority of those turbines are not recycled.

I really doubt this is true in any meaningful sense. First of all, I'd expect the majority of all turbines ever produced to still be in their useful service life. Second, many of the materials are valuable as scrap. It would be blatantly idiotic to just destroy and bury these materials, even if your goal is to spite environmentalists. Third, even the unsubsidized cost of wind turbines is not that high. These materials don't just appear out of thin air, they're accounted for in the costs.
