Well, there is a mass grave of failed private space companies that predate SpaceX so Mr. Musk was entering some pretty hazardous territory, business wise. While the engineering work is of course non-trivial, in this case I would not downplay Mr. Musk's role in creating a company that put payload to orbit before becoming bankrupt.
I'd stay at home if going to a restaurant was like you just described it. Also, you, and many people, seem to forget that the role of the economy is to provide for the people, not the other way. If you automate everything without providing viable solutions you're just pushing people to shitier jobs over and over.

If going to a coffee shop meant going to some sort of self service machine, pushing a few button and getting a machine made Nespresso pod coffee I'd just stay at home and save the money....

What's the end goal of all this ? Automate everything, skip all human interactions, destroy every small restaurants/coffee shops ?

This "automate everything" attitude is so weird, almost like some people want to dehumanise humanity. You know what would be the absolute automation, providing the best experience for everyone, for the least amount of energy spent ? Being in a coma in some form of pod, fed artificial thoughts and food/oxygen through tubes.

Automation only make sense if it delivers us from work, not if it pushes people into worse positions.
If you wind up going the iPad route, I'd recommend looking into running Linux on a Surface. Older Surface's with better-than-iPad specs can be had used for cheap, and they run most distros extremely well. I'm using a Surface Pro 3 with PopOS right now and it's the most powerful tablet experience I've ever had, and it was cheaper than an iPad.
I didn't mean to imply that it was a problem or that they shouldn't be doing it - more that i'm envious of the operational chops to pull it off.
Minecraft servers aren't really great at region-based sharding.

Mojang have not yet added a "transfer packet"[0] which would allow for region-based switching.

For the most part, one would need to re-join the server under a different proxy pool located in their desired region, usually accessible via a subdomain (us.example.com, eu.example.com)

>"Essentially, the idea that economic growth requires growth in resource use is false; rich countries have started to grow while using less and less of the planet’s most important resources."

Service economies rise off the backs of offshoring primary and secondary production to developing economies. None of that stuff exists without the underlying production, which absolutely depends on extraction of biosphere resources.

Good luck growing your university-educated, service economy cities without the raw material and fossil fuel abundance it currently relies on. Being increasing abstracted from your foundations may feel secure but you'll topple just the same when they give way, even thousands of floors above.

You could perhaps make an argument that more layers of leverage could be layered on top of existing levels of productive extraction, but when we're talking about a reduction (by choice or circumstance) in the underlying raw extractive activity, that's insufficient.

>"The kind of massive intention reordering of global production and consumption that degrowthers fantasize about is not just pragmatically impossible to implement, it’s the kind of thing that essentially everyone in the world except for a few very shouty people in Northern Europe and the occasional Twitter activist is going to reject."

Can't disagree with this. But the proposed alternative seems just as untenable:

>"Making a rapid transition to green, sustainable growth will require huge new investments"

Putting aside the energy density and portability issues, and the stuff about rare mineral extraction, base load etc etc etc... Perhaps if the current economic irrationality we've had hanging around since 2008 of an essentially unbounded slush fund of capital that somehow never significantly depreciates perpetuates forever onwards, this kind of thing could be pulled off. I'm unconvinced that we've entered some kind of calm water beyond our historical cycles of boom and bust, rather that we're in an extended period of irrationality yet to come down to earth. Still, nice to be hopeful. Just strikes me that both possible futures are equally unlikely, much as either one of them would be wonderful if they came to pass. Certainly better than the (IMO) more likely other way this all goes.

Not sure what is dystopian there.

My wife is dependent on not meeting these unvaccinated idiots because otherwise she will likely be in serious trouble (~die). My child is also seriously sick so he is in danger too. It costs them nothing to protect themselves and others.

If they do not want to do that, then fuck off - if they are sick with COVID or because of something COVID-related then they just die in a corner while waiting for a bed used by someone else. No whining, no drama. Just bearing the consequences of a choice.

Err
As far as I understand it, these SiC chips are things like discrete MOSFETs designed to work at hundreds of volts and handle huge power running through them. I think the likelihood of this scaling down to millivolts is quite unlikely. The more likely applications for this are power stations and hooked up to solar power plants rather than in your iPhone I would expect.
How to get clients for software development company?
I started a software development company in the past year, and I am looking for ways to find new clients that excludes tapping into our network (as I have already done that).

I would really appreciate suggestions and advice from people in the industry.
So that users can be at home or on a mobile device without requiring them to have VPN.

But so that you still can ensure data-locality or run a customised instance e.t.c. if you have requirements around that. Plus licensing is approx. 40% of the full SaaS cost at scale so may be cheaper to deploy that way.

I don't think they intend to commercialize it from a tourism perspective, they very much intend to do point-to-point terrestrial transportation via rockets though and that will be a commercial endeavor that carries people and cargo.

I don't know if it will happen in practice, or if it will be successful when they try it but it would be damn cool.
Is there a simple way to test if I've applied the mitigations properly?
Fundamentally exponential growth is not sustainable in the long run.

But more importantly I see some reasonable degrowth arguments as advocating an end to consumerism. To no longer measure the wealth of a country by the extend of it's material consumption and financial transactions. We are optimizing the wrong thing. Imagine a world with a basic income, where someone who just likes to cut hair decides to cut hair for other people as long as they get to be creative while doing it. This would lower the GDP and nominally be degrowth, but not because the scope and range of possible human activities has decreased.

We have coupled status to consumption, money and being productive. I believe that this has become the overwhelming function of much economic activity. Otherwise it's not rationally understandable why people would opt to work 70 hours a week, barely know their kids, in order to make sure they can afford things they don't really need.

I don't really see the article(s) linked contradicting this line of thought in the degrowth community.
I hadn’t even heard of this debate until now, but am already appalled at the polarization: “degrowthers” this, “degrowthers have no idea how..”

It is possible to have sensible debate without immediately putting people into the blue or red team. We can do better than this.
> That's a huge jump in complexity and possibly introducing security issues

Possibly, I have been blessed in not having to directly deal with Jira's complexity in years. On the other hand if it has support for no read, post only ticket type permission for API tokens I see no issue.

> Linting errors should show up right before commits

That's an opinion I do not share. Don't waste my time with linters that can autofix things for you. A linter is different than a type checker. Sure some type checkers are implemented as linters, but a bunch of linters are style preference enforcers.

In short my opinion is: if your linter has a fix option, drop that in your PR CI and have it autocommit.
We’re not going to “degrowth.” Repeat that to yourself as a mantra until it sinks in. There’s billions of people out there whose standard of living is inadequate, and they’re going to try to keep on the development curve.

Okay, so what does climate response look like in that world? I suspect it looks like investing massive amounts of money in nuclear and carbon capture. Developed countries have spent trillions on COVID response to keep some 65+ people alive. That mk eh would have been far better spent on climate technology.
> It is pretty wild when you think about it - not so long ago (10 years maybe?) this sort of thing would have been unthinkable.

10 years ago many people thought it would happen well before 2021. The "first operational Dragon spacecraft was launched in December 2010" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SpaceX) and commercial flights to the ISS were right around the corner (cargo first happened May 2012).
Free memory is wasted memory.

Applications that cache data have to do it on the heap.

Yes, there should be a way for the system to coordinate usage of cache/free memory and coordinate with a VM’s GC. Until we have that, big apps will exhibit the aforementioned memory footprint.
I stopped carrying them years ago. Email sig and an easily-found personal page (for which purpose your Twitter page might be a starting point) and you’re good. What else do you need?
how tiring to argue over this. "Degrowthing" is a means to an end. I don't think many people have a problem with "growth" itself just because they somehow religiously hate anything that growth. It's just that as is we are not exactly making things better and if we do more (without adjusting what we do) then that certainly can't suddenly be better for our planet. If we want to do less damage we have to reduce the damage that we are doing. Certainly selling increasing amounts of "stuff" is not making things better. I you can somehow make it so that any flavour of growth can be done while reducing the impact, great, go ahead.

In short: It's not that I hate cars, I like cars, I like driving. But in order to not break the world we live in we need to make fewer cars and drive them less. If you can suddenly make a car that does significantly less damage or negative damage then PLEASE make it, I will buy it. Growth Yay!
Silicon Carbide is extensively used in Power Electronics. It's just that there is a very small group of people that are having to deal with kilovolts on a daily basis, so I suppose it is not perhaps widely known.
i'm swiss. i think it's interesting to contemplate that, in 2021, being a pacific climate activist, namely sitting in front of a bank with massive investments in fossil fuels or that sort of things to attract attention on the science, will result in you getting the full treatment reserved to terrorists.

I’m 30, with sleep disorder that fits exactly what you are describing. I’ll share my own anecdote.

I've taken melatonin in 0.3mg sublingual doses, it worked perfectly. It’s incredible the control it gives me over my sleep after having none for decades.

However it leaves me unmotivated the next day, like I don’t want to get out of bed and if I do, I don’t want to get out of the house or do anything. I thought it was coincidental but it’s systematic. Very annoying.

So I stopped taking it. I now only take it on days where I know I’ll be doing nothing the next one anyway. Curious if anyone has had a similar experience.
This feels all over the place.

Is she ranting against "clever" code ?

Or is it about "wicked, nasty, complicated, Klein-bottle-wannabe tricks", which wouldn't fit a "clever" category IMO ?

But she mentions "how far they read into the spec", so these are language features she doesn't know about ?

Oh, but "Nobody will ever have more state about the code than the original author" so it's not about syntax or tricks, but code states and complexity ?

What is there to take from this rant aside from her not liking her coworkers' code each in every possible ways ? I am really not sure to get it.

FWIW, this view is normally referred to as [cornucopianism](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cornucopian): this debate has been raging since at least the 1960s, and there are some interesting links from the Wikipedia page.
If you’re among those others, I’d be really interested to hear a critique of the article. It seemed pretty convincing to me, as well as constructive by suggesting that green investment is the right path forward
> So the idea here is that we don’t need degrowth; instead, we can keep raising everyone’s standard of living without exhausting the planet’s resources.

Well, we haven't been able to pull that off. Quite the opposite.

Asia is a dumpster now, their rivers are black stinky waters, trash is everywhere, climate is changing at an alarming rate, we have lose 60% of all the insect species, oceans are emptying, full of micro-plastic and with great current disturbances, extreme weather events are occurring more and more and the amazon forest is getting eaten.

But sure, tell me how your magical theory matches practice in your dream like land.
Yeah, obviously the correct grammar is "Meeses".
GPUs may be better, not just faster, at training deep neural networks
What is your opinion on Azure as things stand now? Do you think it is worth getting deeper into?
I don’t think that’s true (being pedantic). If your build doesn’t depend on the value of the time in any way, then it’s reproducible (assuming it doesn’t use/doesn’t have other irreproducible inputs), even without passing in an injected time. The value of things which don’t affect the output don’t matter for reproducibility.

But it’s a one-way implication. If your build DOES depend on the time, it can be made reproducible by setting it to a constant fixed value.
Let's be honest, the media is just giving the people what they want, people subconsciously want bias news, its not pleasent to read news that disagrees with your own views. Why do you think facebook modified their algorithms for this? This applies to both on the left and the right politically.

Yes, and what's more: We have still high population growth rates in many areas of the world. Take Sub-Saharan Africa for example. Even countries like Afghanistan, where the population grew from 20mn in 2000 to 40mn in 2020...
> IANAL, but I have a hard time seeing how young people squatting buildings in Paris is an extreme criminal case. In any case, I have an issue with this lack of transparency from ProtonMail, if any police service can ask them to log IP addresses, that is not anonymous

(Quote from the Twitter thread, by same author.)

Yeah, that is the problem. We don't know who, we don't know why, we don't know shit. All we know is that the request took place. We don't know if the request was or is justified. Those who trust police or dislike climate activism might say 'of course' and those who distrust police or like climate activism might say 'of course it wasn't justified'. Meanwhile, police (Europol in this case) are not releasing details for the neutral readers to make up their mind, because they're still fully in the investigation.

I'm very much pro-privacy, and actually I find the environment very important, but I also want to give Europol the benefit of the doubt. So I suspect a climate activist, using Protonmail, might've gone a step or two too far. And if Protonmail just runs some VPS in some other countries, they'll have to abide by the law in these, on top of Swiss law. That a Swiss company has to cooperate with Europol because Europol has mandate in Switzerland is also a no-brainer.
I am not saying that the set of poor Europeans living in the UK is empty, nor I’m saying that no grocer in the UK ever hired a Spaniard or a Frenchman for 11.1£ per hour while a local would have cost 11.6£ per hour, or whatever the poor earn in the UK, but that’s not a social phenomenon, it’s a guy, it’s at best an anecdote. Similarly EU citizens living under bridges to send remittances home, is not a social phenomenon in the UK, it’s a Brexit myth. You can check the data yourself. Again, you may know a guy that…, but that’s an anecdote. The mythological poor EU citizen that goes abroad to send money home and live in a rathole with 17 other poor souls, assuming it exist, is way better off going to Germany than to the UK. On a side note, remittances from Germany are 2.5 times those from the UK, from France 1.5.

EU citizens living in the UK on average earn a lot more than the locals and are better qualified. So saying that migration from the EU was driving down wages was indeed a lie.

But even if we assume that the UK had been swarmed by millions of illiterate cretins, there isn’t any evidence anywhere in the world that immigration suppresses wages permanently (there may be some temporary short term effects, but before, you say anything, the UK has been in the EU for decades, so we are indeed in the long run).
Not to come off like an ass, but honestly when I read 'rust' I laughed. If you knew how the founders of Sway feel about rust + the difficulties people have had with creating rust wayland compositors (particularly with wlroots), the idea of Sway being quoted as written in rust is almost satirical

My (technically) waterproof electric shaver doesn't work while being charged, too — according to its manual, it's so that you won't try and use it while charging in a shower and electrocute yourself.
I am hesitant to add yet another response as you already have a few very good ones. However . . .

My wife and I like to call the studies that prove the obvious, "no shit studies," because they really aren't surprising. In this specific context, very few scientists doubt that animals have emotions and intelligence. The thing is, you still have to do the experiment to know for certain. It happens fairly regularly that we discover things that seem obvious are actually wrong.
Maybe after the shift from space-grade parts to commodity parts in (some) satellites, this will mean the same for parts of future mars missions. A Snapdragon 801 as used here is certainly much cheaper, easier to work with and powerful than anything space-grade.

I might be wrong but these shavers are generally "water proof", to be used in the shower and whatnot.

Turning off when charging sounds like a way to prevent someone to follow through with the shockingly brilliant idea of doing that while plugged in to the wall socket.

You can do the same thing for native containers by setting up Server Core VM with Docker Engine and the client on host.
I don't understand the argument, saying that US resource usage went down while China resource went up. Isn't this because the growth in the US is sustained by the production growth in China?

This doesn't prove that US economy grew while the global resources usage went down, just that the resource usage was moved offshore.

Growth is an accounting technicality. We can re-define what growth means by introducing other metrics in the GDP, like population well being, and try as much as possible to de-couple it from energy consumption growth. I think energy is essential for good living but we can use it more efficiently and we can switch to cleaner sources.

I am not sure this is true. In order to know what you know you need to have free time to actually follow the changes in bank rules, for example.

A person with a financial education from 20 years ago who is also poor today would not know that the overdraft is optional.
Absorption isn’t limited to soils capacity. A basin in Central Park could have held 7” of rain * 1.3 square miles until it was absorbed by the soil. Change nothing else and there would have been significantly less flooding.
