That might be a reasonable expectation, that the government of the country whose company you use to book a hotel would know what you're doing.

But that's not this.

Fossil fuels are not cheap if you properly price in the externality of causing global warming (and other pollution).

You don't need a lot of space for wind and solar. Take Germany for example. Using just the area currently used for "energy crops" (around 2.4 million hectares) for PV you could cover most of the primary(!) energy demand of the country. Wind is even more space efficient in Germany.

I'm a decent programmer and I use an expensive, no-code application called FME for data cleaning/analysis/exploration/transformation etc. almost all the time. While I'm certainly capable doing basically everything I do in FME using Python, I am far more productive using FME. With FME I can knock together something in 10-15 minutes that would take me hours to do in Python.

That being said, one feature of FME that I do use a lot is that at any point you can drop in a PythonCaller which lets you execute arbitrary python code on your data. Invaluable for the last 5-10% which cannot easily be done using the "no code" approach

Hello. Your opinion is very interesting. And can you tell your version of this in more detail.
You offer no reasons for your answer.

As it stands, I think this is bad advice. There are plenty of potential downsides to staying in something that the OP describes as 'visceral hatred'.

The OP clearly has no problem learning on their own.

I've been on the 'hiring' side of the interview table many times -- I wouldn't think twice about hiring this person as long as they had a nice personality. They definitely sound like they'd be qualified for just about anything they wanted to do with software.
My vaccine-hesitant family has been saying Moderna is more dangerous for young people for months now. Which is why this slight admission, though slight, hits home.

I tend to follow a Postel-like system when it comes to this. When I write a script I'll usually get paranoid and make at least token efforts to handle spaces. Which I will then never, ever use.
I propose the following statements:

1. Reducing complexity by reducing capability/power is easy.
2. Moving complexity from one form to another is easy.

The biggest issue is that these limitations are not well understood by the end users of these products. Inevitably, they want something that the product didn't account for and have to grapple either with the complexity inherent in doing it or come to terms with not being able to do it.
How do you deal with lack of being able to just point to "/usr/lib/include" or other things when saying "here's my directory of shared libs"?

This is definitely interesting though, and an improvement I would say

Azure is the new darling "OS" for Microsoft, we are back into the mainframe/UNIX server days anyway.

Besides third party distributions, Microsoft now has three flavours of their own as well.

Azure Sphere OS, CBL-Mariner, then their Android flavours (althought it isn't really Linux) and RTOS like Azure RTOS.

Still owns the desktop, but since the internal political wars for the ultimate GUI framework started, I have started to doubt where it will all end.

How have things changed since 2001? My opinions only:

1. VCs don't sign nondisclosure agreements: yes you will be laughed out the door if you demand one.

2. VCs are sheep: yes, make sure your startup hits one of the hot buzzwords (metaverse, ai, etc) to maximize interest.

3. VCs aren't technical: diligence these days is even more of a joke than it was back then.

4. VCs don't take risks: second time founders can get funding just off their name, yes.

5. Venture funds are big: IMO, there's way too much capital chasing too little talent these days.

6. VCs collude: absolutely, make sure you don't tell VCs other firms you're talking to before the term sheet.

7. VCs don't say no: very annoying, they'll string you along forever.

8. Your idea, your work, their company: biggest change since 20 years ago. Founders have way way more leverage these days. You can negotiate insane valuations (and therefore tiny dilution) compared to even 5 years ago. You can also fight harder for provisions that maintain board control in favor of the founders. The risk of a VC being seen as "founder unfriendly" is way higher than fighting you, a single company out of 100s in their portfolio.
Awe, in turn I have never seen that particular xkcd—it's great! I learned to call it "feigning surprise" and I always try and be conscious of it (though I still catch myself doing it from time-to-time).
I always format my filesystems (macOS) as case sensitive and I'm surprised by the software that has a hard time with that.

On Unix/Linux we've grown up with case sensitive by default but everywhere else it still seems to be a problem now and again.

I should qualify this...I'm en-US so I have no idea what the experience is like for anyone else.
"Pearl-clutching" is a rather un-HN term to use since it implies a deliberate overreaction.

Drunk driving is a significant factor in road safety and based on the numbers for 2019, accounts for over 1/4 of the traffic fatalities in the US. When you consider the number of people who have lost friends and family to drunk drivers, it is absolutely reasonable that there are a lot of people for whom this is a legitimately emotional topic.

I am not familiar enough with the details of this proposal to know if it is a good idea. I do know enough to see that you also seem to be unclear as to what this proposal actually consists of; it absolutely doesn't push for integrating breathalyzers in every car or even in every new car.

One of the issues I see in American Democracy is that people are insufficiently interested in getting their facts straight.

> Vaxxers point of view: I do not understand what 0.0001 is, let us round it down to 0. Vaccines are harmless.

I’m not sure where you are getting this characterization of people who are pro vaccines but it doesn’t apply to anyone I know who took the vaccine. Yes, there’s some risk of side effect as with most medicines. But you still take them because the benefits far outweigh the risks. Pretty sure the average person who took the vaccine is able to wrap their head around that concept.

I'd like to see that data too. I'd be very surprised if that windows scenario is anything other than noise level.

Though, for completeness, I'd replace Linux with *nix - I'd guess there'll be some BSD users in there too.
Do we know what the cost is? Seems to me that would depend on a lot of factors, such as how expensive the equipment is, how expensive it is to repair/replace, what the false positive rates are, what the consequences of a false positive are, what other additional burdens/inconveniences it imposes on the driver, etc.

If it's cheap enough (after considering all of the above) then yeah, maybe something like this could make sense. I do feel like it should be up to the ones proposing the legislation to prove that though before any new regulations are passed. Unfortunately, I suspect the fact that this measure is being bundled together with a trillion dollar spending package makes that unlikely.
All the tools you mentioned are nice.

However, none are built for software developers. If you want to know why, ask yourself — does anything here make me feel special as a developer? My guess is the response is "No".

I'm the founder of archbee.io, and although it's an early stage product, I built it for engineers — and you can see that by the features: architecture diagrams, GitHub integration, markdown shortcuts, very speedy, API docs with GraphQL and OpenAPI, custom domain hosting, Mermaid diagrams and more.

On the contrary, I'm convinced weight can (ab)solve many sins.

I think the old pages are still around although at some point mySpace locked down all the profiles by default so that they are not public anymore and you have to be logged in and friends with the person to view them.
I've been waiting for a (popular) low-code movement to hit the backend. Right now we still seem to start every project with - auth,connections,server, etc..

Something like https://github.com/oshalygin/gqlgen-pg-todo-example but easier and more tied into everything already.

Effectively instead of hand coding up the stack, there would be this server that you install and you get auth (implying a user model), GQL, and all you have to do is make the database and define a special file that tells the DB what is viewable or restricted and how that connects to the user.

The package would be 100% open source but would have like modules you could enable to connect it to auth0 (or others) or use a pre-created schema.

That's the stuff that should have been turned to low code by now and I still don't see much progress.
There is no basis for believing that the payoff for coordination is elevated. If anything the opposite: we see that more centralized decision-making introduces larger deadweight losses. See US-Afghanistan, as enabled by the tax base, as an example.
If you want 250 watts or less for a bit of assistance with pedaling and ~20 miles of range, a conversion kit is fine.

But if you have to deal with serious hills or want to use throttle-only, 250W won't be enough. IMO 750W is the bare minimum for that, and it requires a bigger motor, bigger battery, and disc brakes.* That costs a lot more and it's easier (and probably cheaper) to just buy the whole bike than convert what you have.

*Disc brakes are essential for higher-powered e-bikes because such bikes move faster and are much heavier than regular bikes. They need more serious stopping power than rim brakes can provide.
Since there seems to be a lot of assumptions rather than data, I wanted to post this as a top-level comment: the risk is super low (~.014%) even in teens [1]

> The myocarditis risk difference between the first and second dose was 1.76 cases per 100,000 people (95% confidence interval [CI], 1.33 to 2.19), or less than a 0.002% incidence. The largest difference was among male recipients 16 to 19 years, who had 13.73 cases per 100,000 people (95% CIs, 8.11 to 19.46)—but even that level amounts to only a 0.014% incidence.

> In other words, compared with unvaccinated people, vaccinated people had a 2.35 rate ratio of myocarditis 30 days after the second dose (95% CI, 1.10 to 5.02). Vaccinated young males had an 8.96 rate ratio (95% CI, 4.50 to 17.83).

That's exactly the problem. This leads to mess. The Windows model of C:\Program Files\<app name> is much better.
Not saying you're wrong, but that's not really how people who refuse the COVID vaccine I know think. They think "I do not understand the risks of the vaccine, and I don't trust the people telling me it's safe, so I'm not getting it".

That's quite different. Most people are not Bayesian thinkers. They mostly react based on how they feel about things.

I think what people fail to understand is that this isn't a one time problem. It's not bad math being done. It's one of the first major displays of an on going collapse of trust in Western institutions.

"Size" is dubious, "shape" is outright wrong. All of the dummies have the exact same shape: the adult male dummy re-scaled to various sizes. Meaning they are testing the weight distribution, muscle strength, and body shape of men, just at different scales.

And the scale is totally unrealistic: the "woman" dummy is 4'11" and 100 pounds, smaller than 95% of women in the world, and it is never tested in the driver seat.
I think you need to provide proof of As you progress in your career, you'll be worse off -- because logic says otherwise.

In 10 years (as the OP progresses in their career) the tech they would have learned about in school will be obsolete. If they haven't continued to learn, THEN they'll be worse off -- but that has nothing to do with credentials or what they learned in school.

I've been on the hiring side of the interview process many times. As a software developer progresses in their career they need to think about software architecture and mentoring more than anything else -- things that schools just don't teach well at all.

I'm never looking at the (school) credentials of a senior software developer. I'm always looking at what they've done with their career, and how they handle the fundamentals in an interview.
Thats my understanding of them, although I'm sure its more complicated on some level. It was what made me pretty uninterested from the offset.
They could solve a lot of drunk driving by having real mass transit in America. Cars kill more kids in America than anything else:

Normally I would recommend learning how to program and then trying to get a job that is related to your field. Both of those don’t apply to you. You know how to program but your knowledge is not up to date and your field of study makes it hard for you to find a programming job where knowledge of theology would be a benefit. I don’t know of any type of programming job where you can leverage your subject expertise in theology. Maybe you have some other expertise you gained by working that can be leveraged?

Anyway. You still can look into the jobs available to you locally and find out what technologies are being used and concentrate your study on those fields. Also see what meetups you have going on and participate.

Other then that I think with your knowledge you might be better off going for a project manager position in tech.

The "nightmare" is actually long periods of boredom punctuated by moments of sheer horror. If you are in an accident caused by a drunk driver (or caused by anyone really, including yourself), it would indeed be a literal waking nightmare.

What's so horrible about a breathalyzer in every car? People get used to losing unimportant freedoms very quickly and easily. The seatbelt was initially viewed the same way.
When is the last time you bought software in a store?

Muggles use gmail, muggles download apps from the App Store. They might find a 15 year old copy of Backyard Basketball from Ollie’s Discount Store but they lack the mad skills, if not the optical drive to run it, never mind in stall it.

GameStop lumbers on because day traders are bored, I guess somebody bought a BluRay the other day that is really a big Java applet. Maybe you can get physical media for Win 11 but most people will never need it.
In apple mail, I can search all my mailboxes for all my accounts in one search and it's pretty much instantaneous. Most of my email accounts are hosted in gmail, but I generally use Apple Mail to access them (the only times I go into the web interface is for the account I use for submitting writing where I apply multiple tags to each message indicating publication/piece submitted/response type or to clean out the spam folder since I worry a little that if I delete messages from Apple Mail I might be inadvertently telling gmail that the spam wasn't actually spam).
First, the risk of getting myocarditis after vaccination seems to be around 14 in 100,000.

"As of June 11, 2021, approximately 296 million doses of mRNA COVID-19 vaccines had been administered in the United States, with 52 million administered to persons aged 12–29 years; of these, 30 million were first and 22 million were second doses. Within the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) (4), the national vaccine safety passive monitoring system, 1,226 reports of myocarditis after mRNA vaccination were received during December 29, 2020–June 11, 2021."

Second, the risk of death is much lower:

"Of the 323 persons meeting CDC’s case definitions, 309 (96%) were hospitalized. Acute clinical courses were generally mild; among 304 hospitalized patients with known clinical outcomes, 95% had been discharged at time of review, and none had died."

From what I've seen of the US, Congress exempts themselves from quite a lot legislation. I think they exempted themselves from the recent vaccine mandates.

The 1 failure in those numbers is actually CRS-7, not Amos-6. If you count Amos-6 there have been 2 failures but as you pointed out crew wouldn’t have been on board and they don’t static fire with payload anymore. Also for CRS-7 the dragon survived and would have been fine if the parachutes had been programmed to deploy in that situation. Either way there have been a lot of improvements and ~100 successful launches since either of those.
