Yep, wind was the cheapest form of energy starting around mid 2010's.

I think wind's problem is that wind installations get massive pushback in a lot of communities. I wish I were joking when I said a turbine near me was permanently shut down after a federal judge declared the plaintiff's objections for health reasons to be valid.

The court fight triggered a poison pill town bylaw that a turbine inactive for X amount of time has to be removed. All the idiots had to do was get an injunction and then tie the whole thing up in court for long enough.
Thanks, you're totally right to point this out. One should no more give up music because of the geniuses out there than one should stop playing golf or basketball because becoming Tiger Woods or Michael Jordan isn't going to be just a matter of practicing hard.

Most adults overestimate how fast they should improve in the short term and really underestimate how far they can get by just practicing regularly and consistently over many years.
"Norway is a net exporter"

Norway is powered 95% by hydro and Iceland by geothermal, so it says nothing about feasibility of wind / solar.

Also being a 'Net Exporter' is not enough - Scotland is a net exporter of wind energy, but was actually only able to cover ~30% of it's own needs, because sometimes there is too much wind, and sometimes not enough.

"Not only that, but solar is totally feasible in all those countries."

Research station in Antarctica is not a suitable benchmark: if their setup produces electricity at £2/kWh, that's a great deal because their only alternative is shipping diesel thousands of kilometres at 50x the price.

But charging even £1 for electricity in UK would have major repercussions.

In the UK, during the summer there is 10x more solar irradiance than in Winter, Norway will be even more extreme.
Anything is feasible if you invest enough, but you probably have to overbuild your renewables, and have cross-continent power transmission to even it out.

It could potentially be "feature flagged". The client could ship a new version with all the resources/code they need for a specific feature, but a setting on the back-end determines if the feature is enabled or not. That way, Apple could easily toggle this feature on at any point by changing the flag's value on the back-end, without needing to ship an entirely new 15.x.x binary

I'm not an american.

here you can build a multi apartment building, sell each apartment as a separate unit to different people, and the common property (hallways, grass around the building, etc.) is divided between the apartment owners (and they pay whatever amount for taking care of that). After all the apartments are sold, the investment firm owes nothing there anymore. Of course they pay VAT, their profits are taxed, etc, when selling the apartments, but after that, they have nothing to do with that property anymore.

What I was talking about was basic property tax, which should be higher for each property (house, apartment,...) you own. This would make owning many properties very expensive, and force people to sell.

That's the same for everybody, nobody is above suspicion. Snowden exposed the US intelligence apparatus at grave risk to himself before he even knew he would get stuck in Russia. He already has much more credibility than the journalists and news corporations who are being deeply influenced by US government and intelligence agencies.

As I said, it's a propaganda technique. Do we screech at US journalists about why aren't they denouncing the US every time they publish a story about Russia? No.

First imagine a less-than-bit fact. Suppose you have a set of 1024 computers and you want to pick out a specific computer based on many facts about a single computer. 1 in 4 computers runs Linux and the rest run Windows. Knowing a computer runs Windows is about half a bit of the information necessary to identify the computer.

A less-than-bit update can be combined with another such an update to encode a single bit. For instance, my protocol could use a bit to indicate “the computer runs Linux, or it is one of the 256 Windows computers in this list”. You know the computer has a 50% chance of running Windows.

> But I would be gladly proven wrong.

All I can do is support your position. Our customers are interested in the idea of encryption-at-rest of any sensitive business data that we have on disk at any time.

I work in banking, so I am ethically bound to provide the most brutally-honest takes regarding security models to our customers. When developing proposals for encryption-at-rest we have to cast everything in the worst possible light.

We started with looking at things like DPAPI but that is almost a joke for our use cases.

We are more worried about something along the lines of - A senior IT administrator has access to all application servers with full admin/root and can trivially dump customer databases to the dark net for crypto. When modeling for this scenario, we have to consider both physical and digital controls. Digital controls alone will never provide a comprehensive solution for this kind of adversary. Our approach looks something like this:

The customer has to install HSM(s) in their environment. This would typically be something living in a nested secure network or USB dongle directly attached to each server. These secure environments/items must not ever be physically accessible unless at least 2 employees are present at the same time. Each of our application servers which transact PII must be configured to talk to the HSMs. Multiple HSMs provide redundancy in a production environment, mitigating downtime risk. The cryptoscheme is a key-wrapping approach, where working keys are managed per user work item. When a work item is requested for the first time, the HSM has to unwrap its working key (which is stored encrypted on the application server). There is a bit of a mild tradeoff between security and performance here. Hypothetically, we could require the HSM encrypt the payload itself on every I/O, but for our product that would quickly saturate the capacity of even the most expensive HSMs. The policy is that an untouched work item has its key zeroed out in memory after X seconds. Working keys that timed out of memory are marked for rekey on next retrieval.

We have also modeled for remote debugger scenarios, and believe that simple firewall and other access controls can mitigate most of those vectors. This is very much a defense-in-depth strategy, so I am only presenting a small piece of that puzzle here.

This is like claiming you "had" to buy an ODBII diagnostic tool to figure out what was wrong with your car. Turns out? It was a flat tire. But Honda doesn't tell you that!

1) Manufacturer-installed software has been known to be shoddy for a long time. The first thing I do when I fix a client's computer is I reinstall a fresh OEM Windows 10, and skip all but the essential drivers. Dell's "SupportAssist" (or the HP or Lenovo equivalent) has no place in my world.

2) Uninstalling unnecessary applications and drivers is easy on Windows, so why not do it as a good first diagnostic step? The mind boggles that someone who can handle WinDbg (then again, calling it a "weird debugging tools" might point to otherwise) wouldn't know this...

> The troubleshooting process is worse than Windows

Author says their 10+ years of just switching to Linux (and presumably more using it full-time) enable them to debug Linux with ease. Author doesn't demonstrate that for someone who has less than 10 years of Linux experience, they would be able to debug it with ease.

That's fair: I've been to Zurich in 2019 a few times, and I was amazed by how clean it was. Remarkable. Even compared to a US, east coast city, it was much more cleaner than anything I've seen. However that doesn't mean the problems don't exist.

I do think I got the dates wrong. What I'd like the US to do is adopt a similar liberal approach to prescribing medication assisted therapy, and go as far as we need to go in finding the medication that work for people, like is done today in CH. I don't think the "free firezone" approach is a good idea (akin to "hampsterdam" in The Wire), but getting addicts healthcare and a medically supervised substitute is what I meant. The big part of that in the US, IMO, is fighting the social stigma around adopting science based approaches large scale addiction management, and right now the only acceptable solution is to get people off drugs, then have them OD when they get back on. There is a better way!

You're right about the disadvantages of subshells, but wrong about this:

> avoid bashisms

What's holier-than-thou is insisting that people stick to a dialect of shell scripting that hasn't changed in decades because some people think that conforming to POSIX is its own reward even if it makes life harder and programs worse.

No, thanks. I'll stick to bashisms. Things like coprocesses and filemap make certain classes of program much easier to write. And yes, shell scripts are programs, and the quickest way to turn these programs into unmaintainable balls of mud is to follow your advice to avoid normal programming best practices simply because the program you're writing happens to be a shell script.

As to the seeds, a reputable vendor isn't just starting with any random fruit. Even for an open-pollinated variety, you want large separation distances from other varieties to avoid unwanted cross-pollination, potentially miles. You can also grow indoors, but that's more expensive and requires hand-pollination or introduced pollinators. You also need more careful artificial selection (roguing), to avoid long-term degradation of the genetics.

For an F1 hybrid you need to do all this work to maintain each of the pure lines, and then also do the cross. Once you have the fruit, the seed needs to be separated, dried, perhaps tested for viral, bacterial, or fungal disease, perhaps treated with fungicide, and tested for germination.

Of course a random pumpkin seed will grow with some probability, and the resulting plant will bear some kind of pumpkin. But the cost of high-quality seed is a very small share of the total cost of growing a pumpkin, so it's not a good place to cut corners.

ETA: And the article notes explicitly that those seeds were hybrids. For emphasis, saving seeds from hybrids may or may not be legally permissible, depending on the patent status and any contracts signed, but with very few exceptions it doesn't work--the genetics aren't stable, and the F2 doesn't reliably have the same desirable traits as the F1.

On the topic of handling multi-modal detections over time, this is often termed "object tracking" in academic literature. If you wanna dig deeper, check out this youtube channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCa2-fpj6AV8T6JK1uTRuFpw/fea... there are also a couple universities with classes on this topic with lecture notes online. Often solutions in this space are not ML based, focusing on probabilistic approaches for associating and segmenting data from ML-based single frame detections. This sort of pipeline is a standard feature of many autonomous vehicle stacks.
Sometimes we want to write functions that have side effects. Subshell functions don't have side effects. Sometimes you don't want side effects, but sometimes you do, and it's silly to completely foreclose on even the possibility of using side effects.

We're talking about a language you're going to be using almost every day, and for a lot of us here, presumably get paid for using. Those working in other industries have a lot of other things to memorise too. From that perspective, refusing to learn is definitely anti-intellectualism. To get good at anything you need to realise that you need to expend effort, and not just walk away at the first sign of difficulty thinking it's "too hard".

On the other hand, combination of + and | are rare enough that the benefit of such conventions doesn't outweigh the confusion it could cause.

Maybe for you it is, but for others it isn't.

I suspect a lot of this "refusal to learn" sentiment is actually driven by management attempting to turn developers into easily replaceable, expendable "resources". From that perspective, lower-common-denominator dumbing-down barely-literate workers is their goal, and so we should definitely strive to fight against that and the degradation of our craft.

“Unarmed” is usually relevant because the other facts framing the event make clear that only an armed person could have been a imminent threat to officers or others so aa to justify deadly force.

Babbitt was at the head of a mob breaking through a barricade preventing them from access to members and staff of Congress, against whom the mob was threatening violence, and whom had only seconds before cleared the lobby (and who therefore were in imminent danger of being overtaken by the mob had the mob not been stopped at the barricade.) There were insufficient officers present to control the mob even with deadly force were they not stopped at the barrier.

> If I break the law and an officer shoots me in cold blood, it was my actions, not my beliefs which led to my death. Does that mean I deserved it?

If you break the law in a way which poses an imminent serious threat to other people’s lives, and no other means are available that are likely to stop you, then an officer is certainly justified in using deadly force. (Whether you deserve it is a question of the morality of your act, not the officer’s, which is not germane to the shooting. Maybe your threatening act is under some kind of external compulsion or internal mental disorder that would make you not fully culpable and thus not deserving of the consequences of the justified response to your action. That you don't, in that case, deserve death doesn't make the justified action which proximately causes your death unjustified, though.)

We sold our house earlier this year. Out of curiosity we asked Zillow for a quote. To our surprise their quote was very competitive. The one downside is they required us to pay $3000 for repairs, but this was in a market where home inspections were being waived and asking the seller to do repairs was out of the question. The surprising thing was every 2 weeks after that they gave us a new quote that was 5% higher. They did that 3 times. We ended up not using them.

I've seen some pretty interesting things like the use of Rust for front end development, like yew[1] and Seed[2].

There aren't many languages that are practical for WASM output. Scripting and managed languages need to ship their interpreters and runtimes with their WASM blobs, and can end up relatively large. JavaScript's interpreter and runtime are baked into every browser already.

That leaves only compiled and unmanaged languages for potentially good WASM targets. As mentioned before, Rust is seeing a lot development in that space. If LLVM can compile it, then Emscripten can output it to WASM.
