There are economies of scale. There are also diseconomies of scale:

Inertia and institutional sclerosis are serious problems for organizations that are large, old, or both.
The single best thing I ever did to level up my knowledge:

I left a (huge) company that I had been working with for seven years, to work for a tiny company. It taught me just how little I really knew.

If you want to level up as an engineer, once your current company runs out of things for you to learn, change companies to the exact opposite. Shift from a large company to a startup. Shift from education-based to finance-based. Shift everything that you can, so that you get completely different problems.
Read "Heart of a Dog" by Bulgakov, or better yet watch the movie. Note that there are several movies under that name, you want the black and white one. The parallels between that and today's United States are plain as a day to see. I'm still stunned that the book got past Soviet government censors somehow. I'm sure US government censors won't make the same mistake when the time comes. It utterly eviscerates wokeness that preceded the Russian revolution of 1917 and intensified after it. Comrade Shvonder in particular is a classical SJW that you could just pluck from there and then and place here and now, and he'd be in his element immediately.
Seems every time someone applies that to hardware with a wider compute path, other complexity creeps in.

Would be interesting to make a 32 bit Apple 2 style computer. Include a ROM for a means to boot, and leave everything else simple, with some nice slots. Could be a great development / learning machine.

Sorry, I didn't realize the author submitted the piece, so I apologize if my comment came across as harsh.

I think the issue for me is that until you get to objects you're listing things that classes are not designed for and in most languages wouldn't be used for anyway.

Each point sounds like:

* Don't use classes for functions, use functions for functions.
* Don't use classes for top-level statements, use statements for top-level statements.

Which while true, was only ever a thing to begin with in Java which made a pretty weird design decision and forces your hand. So the whole piece reads as a criticism of Java mislabeled as a criticism of classes in general. Yes, Java's weird, but that's Java's problem, not OOP's.

The park about this theme of OOP criticism that irks me is that there's a lot of irrational class hate out there and writing that classes aren't the best option for things which classes aren't intended for just adds to it. Yes, classes are not replacements for all functions, they never were.
Exactly, that's the issue. This is a RT*A scenario.
The correct way to wire them is so that turbo "on" means full speed and turbo "off" means slowed down. Different motherboards implemented it differently. Usually downclocking the FSB or inserting waitstates for memory access.

They originated with "Turbo XT" class machines which ran an 8088 but at 8, 10 or 12 MHz -- faster than a real IBM PC/XT. Turbo on meant a faster machine, and turbo off meant 4.77 MHz -- fully compatible with timing-sensitive PC software.

Later, in the 386/486 whitebox PC era, some machines had the buttons wired wrong and now it's a meme that turbo made the computer go slower, but that was never true for systems built correctly.
wow it sounds bad, but then you watch it and it's even worse lol. Poor Shatner.
It'd be interesting to see a source for that although I don't doubt that similar things have happened. I'm just saying that such a rule would not just untangle Kape, but would also unravel most larger media companies.

Depending on how it would be written things like a youtuber reviewing a pixel phone or one TV show talking about a different TV show might be illegal.

Restricting speech is in general hard, what would be much easier is to require clear and obvious disclosure. Since journalistic ethics already requires that it should only require changes for dishonest actors.
> Proliferation is not a binary 1 or 0.

I think climate change poses a bigger existential risk than the nuclear proliferation risk from Germany continuing the nuclear energy production they're already doing.

> That's a false dichotomy.

Sure we can do both, but the reality is we're not doing both. The last time Germany closed its nuclear plants they were replaced by coal plants.
I guess a DC would have UPS/battery power on hand to cover an instantaneous brown out. Then the generators could be on and restoring battery power while running the DC.

Damn, why don't we have programming environments with such capabilities today? (the kind @pjmlp mentioned "images, REPL with typo suggestions, OS wide debugging, code browser", etc." and so on)

Not in the @pjmlp kind of availability ("Why you say that? There's this commercial language envinronment from a company in rural Austria that all of 100 companies use and all of 1000 people ever heard of that gives you exactly that! A 2-person department in the basement, right across the toilets in Jane Street uses it for something. And somebody made a weather balloon controller with it. Plus some mid-90s research team had this in some research language that has these features, that over 10K students have installed!").

Not even in the Pharo, SBCL, etc. kind of availability.

It would nice to have it in the "competes with Java, C#, Python, Javascript, PHP" or at least Go and Rust, for popularity, adoption, libraries, websites and sources devoted to it, job opportunities, vendor support, enterprise adoption, and such" kind of availability...

"If it was the weather, why is only SW affected?"

Same question, but for vaccines.

United, Delta, American, Alaska all instituted the same mandate.

Microsoft just has no idea how to do auth well. Many of their online web properties follow these tortured redirect chains for authentication. I just cannot even count the number of times I've ended up in some horked state while trying to view something on O365 like email quarantine. I'm not surprised to hear that their apps are generating auth storms.
APT already has a signal handler for SIGWINCH, in order to resize the progress bar. The problem is that after APT finds out about the resize it clears the last line on the screen, but it's a visual line, which is only a part of a semantic line which was wrapped after shrinking the terminal window. APT doesn't know how many visual lines the progress bar takes after being rewrapped by a resize, so it doesn't know how many lines to clear. It could try to compensate by remembering the old width in characters, looking at the new one and calculating what rewrapping would result in, but that would probably not be very reliable across different terminals.

Redrawing everything is annoying from UX point of view, because it breaks copying lines out of the terminal. Instead of getting a bunch of lines separated by line feeds corresponding to semantic lines, the user gets a bunch of lines corresponding to the visual lines in the terminal (so a lot of lines broken, some of them midword), including loads of meaningless whitespace.

I wish the modern terminal was less of an old terminal emulator and more of a GUI for displaying pipelines. So no ncurses-like applications, such as vim, more first-class support for progress bars (instead of the hacks that we have), support for jumping between the lines in scrollback where the user typed in the commands, no possibility of breaking the terminal state (such as what happens when I hit Ctrl+C in the password prompt of openvpn) forcing the user to run "reset", etc. etc.
It's rational to seek out novelty. What's more likely: that you'll be the first to discover a momentous consequence of a theorem published last week, or that you'll be the first to discover a momentous consequence of a theorem published by Euler?
Fantastic article. As a UI designer, I feel like the little bit of "Extra" work that I've done in my career has paid off extremely well.

Of course, you need a manager who understands the intent behind your Extra work is that it is mutually beneficial and that you strike more than you miss when doing that Extra work. If these fall into place, you'll be treated with more respect and will be given more autonomy which further encourages you to do what is right both for yourself and the company you work for.

That's been my experience in my relatively young career (7-8 years). This article sums up this concept really well.

Only when the US government is reformed. Presently, we don't have any laws governing what can be done with people's data like the EU does (GDPR).

Collecting huge amounts of personal data for any purpose is allowed, whether that purpose is controlling people's choices at the store or maximizing profit of insurance companies by minimizing risk.

Sale of personal data is allowed, including selling data you collect on your customers' spending habits. Most companies in the US treat it as an extra revenue stream, and everywhere in the US where you can use a "loyalty card" is really just you opting in to them collecting more data on you and selling it.

Until things like aggregating personal data for corporate purposes are illegal here, this will continue, and corporations and government entities will continue to influence, control, and make judgements on individuals based on technology they don't themselves understand.

And it will all happen in silence and darkness, because there are no laws prohibiting doctors from choosing how they treat people based on services like NarxCare.

For profit health care is an abomination.

If something like Windows98 probably because of it not using the HLT instruction of the CPU vs. Linux doing the right thing, resulting in a cooler CPU on average when running under Linux.

See http://www.benchtest.com/rain.html

Reasoning by MS was low quality of the countless low-end power supplies, and maybe voltage regulator modules on mainboards, being 'unreasonably' stressed by load changes that fast.
This material is aimed at those who will be developing/implementing HPC software. HPC techniques are also used for ML approaches, since deep learning also requires a massive of computation, and benefits greatly from massive parallelization. GPUs are common in HPC, for DL and also other computations.

That said, there certainly is a great interest in the scientific computing community in ML/DL.
Yes, and that's precisely why the Apple 2 is still on my hobby / workbench. It's simple to interface with, and with a faster clock, remains useful.

And the Apple has slow RAM and fast RAM in a similar way. Really, to get the machine to run at 16Mhz, it's necessary to copy code into the fast RAM on board the card, leaving system RAM unused.

The Color Computer, Apple 2 and some others were made in a simpler way that did not interrupt the CPU for refresh and or video access cycles. That makes projects like this easier.

> No exploding coal plant will render a whole region unlivable for >30 years

Unlivable for humans. The exclusion zone around Chernobyl became a de facto wild-life sanctuary. To the extent that some environmentalists now argue benefits of officially maintaining it as one indefinitely. Human supporting activities such as farming, mining and habitat expansion often come at a serious cost to local ecosystems. Nature ends up flourishing over time in humans excluded regions exactly because they are unlivable for > 30 years.

As pointed out by others, one effect of burning coal is the concentration of its radioactive elements in fly ash. And since less care is taken, more radioactive material ends up released into the environment by coal plants than nuclear plants. It's worth pointing out however, when contrasted with background, risks from exposure to radioactivity is not significantly raised by living near coal plants. The real killer from coal is pollution. Having said that, accumulation of fly ash over time could be a concern, especially wherever it gathered under non-uniform dispersal. As far as I know, this is yet to be shown.

Perhaps a stronger example of society's inconsistent reasoning about radioactivity exposure is inhalation of tobacco smoke. It's curious that information on the significant amounts of radioactive material in tobacco smoke did not percolate widely and probably would not have changed habits anyway, given its known carcinogenic nature was already not enough to do so.

China consumes over 4 billion tonnes of coal a year. Germany less than 300,000 million. Now, the best course of action is to get VW out of the chinese market to reduce emissions there! Win, win!!!
Does the cost include full lifecycle analysis?

For instance, wind requires mining huge quantities of rare earth metals in open-air hellscapes in Mongolia, referred to as "the worst place on earth." [1] The two hundred meter tall towers and their giant blades are also built of fiberglass (an epoxy/glass mix) which cannot be recycled and are instead buried. [2]

Similarly solar panels are often made with cadmium and tellurium, and various other toxic chemicals which leech out of the panels when placed into landfills. The US for instance has no solar panel recycling mandate except in Washington State. The world already has a massive e-waste problem.

By 2050, there will be 78 million metric tons of solar panels to dispose of. [3]

Solar panels then have to be supplemented with vast quantities of lithium for temporary storage.

Solar and wind aren't "green" they're "less black."

Nuclear produces 2000 metric tons of waste per year in the US while amounting to 20% of the entire grid, 0.85TWh per year.

Right, and that changes nothing about my response as that's what I was responding to, there is still weak and weakening evidence for transmission by those with asymptomatic infection.

For example[1]:

> We determined secondary attack rates (SAR) among close contacts of 59 asymptomatic and symptomatic coronavirus disease case-patients by presymptomatic and symptomatic exposure. We observed no transmission from asymptomatic case-patients and highest SAR through presymptomatic exposure.

If credit is what you care about, it's straightforward to ensure you get credit without working with Apple's bounty program.

Do you include atomic station itself after EOL into your calculation?
I agree with you on both points of full employment and abundant energy.

And IMO the same political forces are behind both -- it's a nasty mix of elites and high income professionals who genuinely believe people need to suffer. They love austerity, and micromanagement of the population. It's the same reason we have ugly architecture, because the architects think we deserve to be surrounded by ugly, inhuman buildings.

And the econ-sadists are more than happy to punish the eco-masochists.
What really helped me, was learning Scala and get more into functional programming, especially immutability. Now I write better code with better architectures in other languages, e.g. Typescript, Java, Dart, Python.

The change of thinking that is needed to deal with immutability transformed the way how I approach software design.
> Yeah, but as you know Germany, and German discussions do not encompass the whole world

I never pretended to be arguing for the entire world, the article is about closing existing nuclear power plants in Germany and my argument is limited to that.

> But as I was saying, the core argument for Nuclear decommissioning is not to compare it to the absolute worst energy generation scheme that exists, by that metric then I could mention that using PeatBog for energy generation is "not that bad an idea" compared to Coal.... Which is of course, an awful idea by itself....

But we're not simply comparing it to coal because it's the worst energy generation scheme. We're comparing it to coal because that is what replaced nuclear last time Germany decommissioned its plants.
> I'm not super up on Star Trek lore, but to my understanding the setting takes place in a post-scarcity universe, where the only thing that is still scarce is latinum.

Perhaps it's some material where replicators always add some noise to the atomic structure when replicating; and then the "value" is just how close it's to a perfect structure, by whatever measure of perfection. Then you'd have replicator farms just replicating them over and over until something of acceptable quality pops out - like a physical PoW.

It makes for a fun theory at least! And the post-scarcity societies can go "whatever would you want that for?"
$4000 to exercise, but a lot more in taxes. Given that his shares were worth about 1/6 of what they are now, and assuming the FMV for tax purposes was about 1/3 that, he would have to pay income tax on $60k worth of paper gains. That's an additional 20-30k depending on the state.

Good message, but not hot on the phrasing. Should've said "always try finding better ways of doing things", where 'better' means less time, less future maintenance, more aligned with overall business goals, etc.
The disaster scenario "no matter what" power can come from regulated backup turbines and emergency (fossil) fuel reserves I think. It's a separate/saparable subproblem. Just make the normal power companies pay a lot for tapping it, so there is disincentive to purpousefully use it.

and heating up the chip to the point that it needed a cooling fan -- a COOLING FAN, can you imagine a CPU running so fast it couldn't cool itself on ambient air?

This feels super nitpicky but I'm curious about your setup and if you're either remembering the clock speed wrong or if the fan was actually completely extraneous, because in fact neither of the common 40 MHz 486 parts, the Cyrix Cx486DX40 or the AMD Am486DX40, required a fan. The Cyrix one came with a heatsink, which was a rarity at the time.

The first 486-class CPU that pretty much always ran with active cooling was the DX4/100. Even the DX2/66 could run fanless if you had half decent airflow.

You pretty much have the option between s2Idle, s2deep, and hibernation. The s2Idle mode is really responsive, but it drains battery at a really high rate. s2deep isn't technically supported IIRC; I was able to turn it on and have seen the battery life under sleep improve, but it takes about 10 seconds to wake up to a point where I can log in.

If I know I'm going to be away from my laptop for a long time, I'll generally put it in hibernation mode.

There might be a better solution out there, but the general consensus seems to be that Linux + Tiger Lake aren't a great marriage at the moment when it comes to sleep.

Arch Wiki tells you how to use s2deep, if you want to enable it: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Laptop/Framework#Suspend

EDIT: I said 10 minutes before, where I meant 10 seconds. Sorry about that.
TBF, it takes special arrangements by the company granting the options to allow this, and not all do.
For me, leaving the States.

There is an impenetrable glass ceiling in the states based on where you come from, where you went to school, if you can pass made up tests, and if you’re an extrovert.

For example, I’ve always wanted to work in R&D, but it’s impossible in the states. If you don’t have a masters degree from a good school, you can’t even get an interview. And (from my experience) you can’t get a masters degree from a good school unless you’re already rich.

For reasons I won’t bother going into, I’ve been denied getting into any Uni that would allow me to even get a degree that pass any kind of HR filter. Let alone have the personality to pass any needlessly high pressure white board interview.

Almost none of these things have mattered since I left, and I’ve had way more opportunities. Additionally, people in tech, in general, are far less shitty.

I was close to committing suicide in the states, and my life now is amazing (and has been for years).

Depending on the issues you’re facing, your personality, and if you live in the states now, I would highly recommend leaving and trying your hand elsewhere on the globe. Especially if you grew up poor.

(To preempt the “oh you didn’t try hard enough, it’s easy I just did xyz” - good on ya!)
