Google is going to have to change their logo again!

One thing I always respected about MongoDB is they use a serif font for their logo in a time and age when virtually no startup would use such a thing. And then a sans-serif font for their products under it, so it really pops.

I think design in the early-90's has a chance of reemerging. Just lots of fonts being aggressively used and lots of serif fonts. Things that would make David Carson proud.
With all the renewed interest in Nuclear, do we have enough uranium reserve if say US, China, EU and India decided to go big on nuclear ?

> so long as the global usings are only kept to a single file

Here's where the mess starts.

It seems far too easy to sneak a global import statement in to random files and then have the entire codebase polluted by it.

I feel like this is too foot-gun'y, myself.
Nuclear follows a learning curve too.

The reason why it got so expensive is because we fell down the curve. Intentionally. So that we could fill our atmosphere with CO2 while we waited 40 years for wind and solar to become viable. The mind boggles.
I think you are probably right, it is not a make or break factor. Especially when it comes to back-end flows, PPA/TAT/capacity/design closure are the key metrics and the big 2.5 have large moats in these areas.

On the front-end side though, areas like verification, debug, and various lint checks, I think there is more opportunity for smaller players to introduce point tools with better customizability & scripting interfaces.

Ultimately I think the industry is stuck in a local maximum, where the frictional costs of rethinking overall methodology, e.g. from SystemVerilog to Chisel, is too high to justify the change, even if the end result would be marginally (or greatly) better. (Not an endorsement of Chisel, just an example.)
Yeah for now. In a year or two it'll be Shmeact and than something like Boomerangular and of course the framework to rule them all VanillaChocolateChip (or VCC.tjs)
> The proof is that people did it for thousands of years before social media existed.

That argument does not make sense. For "thousands years", you lived in small one room cabin with kids, grandparents and maybe even sibling there. You socialized, because there was no way to be alone.

Good luck finding people now willing to live with you that way.

No one will trade letters with you either. They expect you to communicate and socialize at places normal for contemporary society.
But then where do your feet go when you want to stretch out? I find it terribly annoying to have to keep adjusting my bag when I want to stretch out or sit normally (knees bent)
Actually, people tend to drive at the speed that is safe, and traffic engineers set the limit at about the 85th percentile of the observed speed. Maximum limits on safe roads are usually lower than the observed speed, and so serve no purpose from a safety perspective.

Traffic calming techniques like narrower lane widths and widths are shown to be more effective than police enforcement. The “downside” of these methods are that they’re actually effective at controlling speed, and thus are a revenue loss.
China absolutely does need to replace its coal-powered electricity plants.

But it also needs a great deal more electricity, for a few reasons.

Away from the coast and the mega cities, there is still a lot of energy poverty.

If China is going to replace coal in iron smelting and steelmaking, it needs to electrolyze a lot of hydrogen.

It also needs electrolyzed hydrogen to replace fossil methane for making ammonia for fertilizer, and for wintertime peak electricity plants (and possibly for engines for ocean-going ships, if it can't use nuclear for them).

If it's going to capture the carbon from its cement plants, it needs power to do that.

Electrolyzed hydrogen and captured CO2 will have to be the new feedstocks for many industrial chemicals and plastics.

I don't think it's either-or with nuclear and wind/PV, it's not hedging bets, it's whatever works locally, ASAP and AMAP.

The thing that excites me most about e-bikes is that they change the politics around cycling. Proponents of efforts to make roads safer for cyclists have always gotten pushback from people who think that cycling is a niche hobby of rich lycra-clad yuppies.

With e-bikes becoming more common, I know a number of people who would not have touched a bike share but are using it as a replacement for Uber/Lyft rides. People can cycle in to work without breaking a sweat.

It's a bummer that so much legislation aimed at reducing emissions subtly encourages the use of cars without throwing any bones to people who would like to ride bikes, electric or not.
Looks cool. Looks like there might be a typo in the pricing. Surprised to see the storage go from 5 to 5 to 50 to 5 gb.
Is that actually any slower? Python is so slow compared to JavaScript I wouldn't be surprised if transpiling it sped it up!

History. Microsoft technology used to suck terribly for small-time developers. It was always popular in the “enterprise” (which also brings with it some extra architectural baggage), but if you wanted to ship an app with it to consumers you basically couldn’t ... until Xamarin, Mono and dotnet core.
Like with most market making operations, your main risk is adverse selection. I strongly suspect that this was what killed the zillow operation. Suppose zillow is on average right with their house price prediction, but in 50% of cases they offer 10% too much and in 50% of cases they offer 10% too little. In their backtest this will show as a fair price prediction. However in reality, they will mostly end up buying the houses where they overpay 10%. Only their bad quotes are being hit so they keep consistently overpaying for properties.
I've long been of the opinion that the real winner in the EV market will be personal vehicles (such as eBikes) and electric mass transit, not larger EVs such as cars in most urban environments.
I hate US-sized hand luggage. Boarding an American plane is like being in a storage locker where people carrying these suitcases fight for bin space.
Buying land or paying landlords, however, requires money, and a decent amount of it in Austin.

I am also fond. And interestingly, the cascade actually separates keyword messages nicely without having to use brackets, which normal messaging does not.

So:

a foo:2; bar:4.

This sends foo: and bar: to a. But you can't do that without the cascade:

a foo:2 bar:4.

That's not bar: sent to the result of a foo:, that's foo:bar: sent to a.

For normal messages you have to use brackets:

(a foo:2) bar:4.

Which is ugly and asymmetrical with respect to cascades. So in Objective-S, I introduced the pipe for message chaining:

a foo:2 | bar: 4.

IMHO, this works both visually and semantically, because you are "piping" the result of "a foo:2" into the message expression " bar: 4", as the receiver.
In semiconductor-industry related companies, I've seen the departments continuing to exist, but the expected time-to-market for R&D decrease from 10 to 5 to 3 years.

Babies by definition can't consent. They can't consent what language they are taught, what religion they are taught (or not), what food they are given to eat, what air they breathe (whether it has tobacco or cannabis smoke in it or not). Parents consent for the baby. And parents do circumcisions and ear piercings at birth so that the kid won't experience any pain having the same procedure when older.

Sure, in a perfect world, parents wouldn't circumcise their boys or pierce the ears of their girls as infants and let them choose for themselves. But those are pretty minor compared to all the other major ways parents can really mess up a kid.
Nice!

It's like a NOW farm. :)

That's definitely part of it. But the flip side of that is that as the U.S. tightens emissions, production outsources elsewhere, possibly where emissions standards and many other environmental standards are much lower, which could lead to an overall net harm.

Thus if you have 3 countries, it may be worse for just one of the countries to pass environmental constraints on the production of tradeables. Either all three countries do it, or none do it, or you don't trade at all with those that don't do it.

Why people don't take these arguments to their logical conclusion is beyond me.
I think you answered your own question: energy policy is a multi-layered approach. There's no one silver-bullet, at least this century. It will take a lot of small steps. This is one of those instances where authoritarian governments can move faster.

Although that is a LOT of nuclear waste they will be creating. Hopefully the also advance waste storage technology in parallel.

Afaik both Sony and MS (yes, even MS) do some internal QA before allowing a game to be published on their consoles.

Plus they don't allow (single player?) games to require registering with the publisher. So on the rare occasions I'm interested in a game from the top user hostile AAA publishers, I get it for console.

To be clear, the Provider special treatment part is not something React Server Components do -- that seems specific to Hydrogen. My best guess is that this is some kind of a temporary workaround for the fact that we haven't built a "server context" concept into React yet (but it's a planned feature, as was noted in the original Server Components RFC). If something is confusing, I'm sure the team would appreciate the feedback on this issue!

FWIW, think of SSR and RSC as complimentary. A tour that explores this:
https://shopify.engineering/high-performance-hydrogen-powere...

The key to unlocking fast first-render is combination of streaming SSR (i.e. streaming HTML instead of just JS blobs), which is enabled by adopting Suspense (i.e. async the data fetch and stream data when available in HTML response, which then hydrates relevant component). RSC layers on top: it establishes a clear boundary between client and server logic, which enables better bundling strategies (as you highlighted), but also per-component and efficient subtree updates for subsequent interactions.

RSC is early but we've been working with the React core team on our use case and, based on the past few months of work and progress, we feel pretty confident about the direction. In particular, shifting legacy React apps towards Suspense+RSC will be a big shift for many, but we don't have that constraint.. We have the "luxury" of starting anew and we're leaning into the bleeding edge because it enables all the right primitives for commerce: fast first render, efficient updates, open space for optimizing bundles and RSC transport protocol, etc.
Wow sounds like you really got enlightened by all the right wing talking points they’re pushing on social media to get people enraged. Maybe try turning that off too and see how you feel in a month
Thank you! 100% agree. The amount of operational expertise and knowledge held by non-technical people is massive. Empower the individual to unlock, capture and scale their expertise as software and you really do get true digital transformation.
I'm sorry if finding out that national security of a foreign state trumps your demands for evidence in a terrorism investigation is so traumatizing you classify it as abuse.
Obviously. This is not some technical marvel we're talking about. Google already tells you how to verify the site visitor is Googlebot[1], practically telling the world how to do cloaking. Google employees know Quora, Pinterest, etc. are gaming their system. This has nothing to do with trivial technical solutions and everything to do with business incentives.

I've solved serious problem using these two technologies, and it makes a significant impact right now. (sorry, can't discuss in more details).

Sure LLVM or C pro will cringe looking at my code. But the business problem is solved, by someone who is not LLVM/C pro, and there is no need for more of that LLVM/C skills for now at the organization...
Quite the opposite. If skills are infinitely transferrable, then the skill level of a developer is a function of time they have spent in the field.

This makes a senior developer extremely valuable because they will always be more qualified for any job than someone more junior than them and there is a limited (and shrinking) number of people who are at their skill level or higher.

(to be clear, I don't believe that skills are infinitely transferrable)
It's normal to assert that open source generates millions or even billions of dollars that isn't captured.

In this case, it seems like an open source project destroyed billions of dollars.

That's a new idea for me.
Nuclear fusion.

It's been such a struggle to get anywhere near to making it do something useful.

I agree with you that the SciHub's difference to Aaron is the different legal environment. But I think this is not a good explanation why SciHub might be morally better. Indeed protesting unjust laws could be considered moral good, whereas operating from Russia is merely a legal hack, if useful one.

The open access movement is precisely what I meant with the snail pace activity. I'm doubtful it would happen in even present degree without the activism.
You shouldn't be installing a 30KW system, but it's entirely reasonable for utilities to deploy 30KW of utility-scale solar on your behalf. According to 2021Q1 numbers that's $23-26K of capital investment. Plus I imagine with some logistical effort the utilities can deliver it to wherever your car is parked during the day, rather than bothering with a second set of batteries. Not sure why we're comparing utility-scale nuclear to artisanal home solar power.
Because most files in C# start with:

> ... and have the potential to transform urban transit.

Not in Germany. Biking is and will stay irrelevant for daily transport as long as the infrastructure is a joke. Electric propulsion isn't the missing link.

Interestingly you'll find holiday areas that have biking infrastructure packed with older people on e-bikes.
Shouldn't be too bad, I don't think, if you remember the version number. Which anyone that worked in ASP.NET 4, 5 or 6 was generally pretty used to (a lot of things changed between versions even the "classic" .NET Framework days). I still have "fond" memories of fighting to find a specific EF6 answer that was different from EF4 or EF5, but that was still somewhat easier than having to remember to add "core" to all your searches lest you get classic EF3 results when searching for EF Core 3.x help. Having a version number high enough that you no longer need "core" is something I'm looking forward to.

What he described in the beginning of that essay is how Microsoft Research worked just 15 years ago. Maybe it still does, I wouldn't know. Yes, you are judged by your results. But beyond that and beyond some flimsy constraints dictated by what "team" you were on, there were no limitations whatsoever. This was the most productive and enjoyable time of my entire 25+ year career, and a staggering contrast to how the rest of Microsoft works. And the people were by far the smartest I have ever met, and this was not the only lab I worked at. Most of them weren't genius level (although they were still unusually smart), but some very clearly were, to the point where I'd sit in some meeting and lecture and think "what the fuck am I even doing here". Too bad most of the stuff they do never ends up in products - the rest of Microsoft can't tell a gradient from a hole in the ground, with very few exceptions (basically just Bing and some parts of Ads).

Looks like they added global usings to support their implicit usings functionality. Essentially they want to save people having to put using System, System.Linq, System.Collections.Generic, and others[0] at the top of nearly every C# file.

I'm of two minds:

- I think they're an anti-pattern, because it creates a global scope that can get messy/annoying.

- It makes a ton of sense for the implicit usings functionality, and I'm tired of needing to add the basic SDK usings to every source file.

So the ideal is to enable .Net's implicit usings, then to use an analyzer to "ban" adding more global usings directly from your solution/project. Best of both worlds that way. Alternatively just make them a no-pass item for code reviews.

I can imagine a world, maybe a generation or 2 from now, where our suburbs have shrunk to a bike-accessible scale. That would really, finally, be a step in the right direction.
The reason you get the impression that countries like Portugal or Greece prioritize leisure is that you spend your vacations there and mostly interact with the wealthier residents. The relaxed Greek pensioner who speaks fluent English may appear to be middle class by your standards, but is actually a member of the elite. The actual average Greek is the one who is busting their butts off mopping the pristine facade of your Santorini Airbnb.

Portugal actually has one of the longer working hours in the EU. Despite the reputation that Greeks are lazy, they actual work the longest. If the upper classes of these nations worked harder, they would create more higher-skill jobs for the average resident, so they wouldn't have to resort to working menial jobs for longer hours.

Timely, I just spent some time building a very large (2150 Wh) pack for my high speed e-bike. The manufacturer (Bosch) doesn't sell anything that large, I use it as my car replacement and wanted a lot more range without having to swap batteries, as well as not to murder them by deep discharging them all the time.

And the margins on e-bikes (relatively speaking) are a lot higher than on cars.
Why do you advertise it as a mac-based app, when it's Electron based and should therefore be cross-platform?
> Helion is pitching 0.01$/kwh. That's the right level of ambition here.

Does Helion have a demonstrator plant or a pilot? Or even a prototype? All I see is ... nothing.

It is impossible for them to be in commercial operation in nine years even if they did have a working demonstrator. NIMBYism, fear of H-bombs, and the slow speed of regulation guarantee it.
I was more of an ass when I was younger. I cringe at myself on social media, I went through and cleaned it up, nothing offensive to anyone just cringe on my part. Anyway I did leave FB long time ago (recently use messenger for family), Instagram never really got into it same for Twitter, have some history while back.

I do still use social... HN/Reddit/YouTube/Imgur/some meme sites... usually I go on those when I'm burnt can't really be productive anymore.

Reddit more for fast questions like StackOverflow.

I don't have a ringer on my phone anymore, it's pretty cool. I'm not really important so it doesn't matter if I miss a call. It's easy for people to talk crap on social especially when they are anonymous. Gotta not get baited. Also numbers vs. real friends that will help you when life sucks. Comparing yourself to others that sucks too, there is always someone richer, better skilled, better looking, etc...

Lately too I have felt some self-censorship like "can I say that?" this is like political matters which I'm ignorant in so I avoid that, also not a confrontation guy... that's one thing that sucks about social media too you'll get annoyed by something and you'll obsess over it for a day.

I also try to avoid getting sucked into things like Twitch/Vtubers that's another form of social void filling.

I used to be super extroverted when I was younger but became the opposite later on, lost the hundreds of friends and now down to like 6 real friends.

One side anecdote, I used to do RC Planes hobby for fun... but then social media got involved. It was nice to be part of a community but there was that aspect where you were making content just to share with others vs. enjoying it for yourself. I do want to produce content in the long run but have to avoid that. Also ego-satisfaction, telling people about some fantasy/plans but it hasn't actually happened yet.
