> Life has to be worth living if you want to convince people they should ensure it can happen.

One can agree both with your sentiment and that of the comment you responded to.

I'm all for producing, shipping and consuming less goods, not only because of the positive impact it would have on the climate and life diversity, but also because I believe it would yield a world that'd be more worth living; and I believe many of the "let's produce/consume local products" supporters actually feel this way too; To say nothing about the more extreme examples of people -- sometimes former tech workers -- who give up "technology" and the niceties of modern confort, to embrace a new life of woodworker, long-haul sailor, farmers...

The curve doesn’t need to be flat to benefit from peak flow above 200kW. Cars in later generations will likely charge above 200kW in the 20-80% SOC range.

Higher voltage also reduces power losses.

Not sure what you are arguing against here, to be honest - are you defending Tesla‘s system? Slow charging is one of the main arguments against EVs, it’s great that this is finally being fixed.
With few exceptions, I generally view the purpose of permissive licenses as "encouraging derivative software with EULAs and other restrictions", and the purpose of copyleft licenses as only allowing derivatives that don't restrict such freedoms.

Copyleft software therefore guarantees more freedom than permissively licensed software.

I've tried fish / zsh and I've found them both a bit underwhelming. They were prettier and a bit more convenient, but IIRC in both cases the thing that made me pack it in after a trial was trying to run bash scripts written by other people. They would interpret them differently (once in a subtle, really annoying way) and give weird error messages.

I am curious about oil but I found the "why use oil shell" explanation also slightly underwhelming. I'm also a bit concerned that its sales pitch seems to be almost entirely about "fixing" bash so that it is a better/stricter language. This is setting off alarm bells in my head coz it sounds like the exact same merry go round as last time.

Like the author I heartily agree bash is a shit language and I'll never use it to script anything over 25 SLOC, but the shell is so embedded at this point that I'm loath to switch unless there are some really big wins and/or the transition is seamless. I'm unconvinced of either in this case.

I do get the sense that there's some depth to this shell that isn't readily apparent from a surface glance and there is a lot that has been very carefully thought out, but whether that translates into some notion of "abstract language purity" or something that will actually benefit me on a day to day basis isn't clear.

I also don't quite get this:

>Why not use only Python? Because I'd rather write 100 lines of shell + 100 lines of Python than 500 lines of Python. This is basically the Unix Philosophy, and I didn't understand it until after I'd been programming for many years.

I don't think I've ever written a python program that could be decomposed into 100 lines of shell + 100 lines of python. I'm curious as to what kind of example the author had in their head when they wrote this.

In general I find python programs to be no longer than an equivalent shell, safer and often shorter, largely thanks to the library ecosystem.

El Salvador to Create ‘Bitcoin City,’ Use $500M of Planned $1B Bond Offering
There are a whole lot of problems where if you/the system, dont have time, resources, information etc reaching an optima isnt possible. With sucb problems striving for efficiency turns out to be a negative. See the explore-exploit trade off for example.

So finding simple efficient solutions are never enough. We have to study other mechanisms. Especially the brain.

When you dont have an explanation, people make up stories. And the made up stories effect everything.

Here is Richard Gariott, game designer, explaining how quickly it happens -
"if we put a fishing pole there, it had to do something, so we made fish for players to catch. This wasn’t meant to be a key feature of the game, and we didn’t spend a lot of time on it, stocking the water with generic-looking fish. We gave fishermen a simple fifty-fifty chance of catching a fish every time they put their line in the water. It didn’t matter if they were fishing in a river or in the ocean, there was a fifty-fifty chance. It didn’t matter if it was morning, noon, or night, still fifty-fifty. But to our surprise, when we launched the game, fishing immediately became very popular. Fifty-fifty doesn’t mean the result will alternate each time, it means that over a span of time the result will be even. As a consequence players began to speculate that there might be some other rule behind fishing, believing that they had better results when fishing two or three yards farther offshore than when they cast close to the riverbank. Fishing at night, some people were convinced, was more productive than fishing in the afternoon. People created their own mythology; they believed there were special fishing holes, and wouldn’t tell anyone else where they were. None of that was true, but players believed it"

Samething happens with people and the stories they tell about their brains and the thoughts that come out of it. See Xi Jinping for example. What his brain is doing effects billions of people.

But tomorrow someone might stumble upon rules underlying it all and that will have huge effects on existing stories we tell ourselves.

If you only look at the json format it's true. But it would be way worse if some decoders returned decimals and some returned floats.
This isn't the same though, this is invalidating patents for drugs that have been developed that no one is producing anymore.

Patent protection makes sense to inventivize development and production. In this case development already happened and only production stopped. So it doesn't make sense to uphold this patent.
"Intellectual property" was also my first association. Unexpectedly not much people here are talking this point.

Having never written anything close to a parser or a compiler, I totally crashed on that one.

I could afford private flights on my salary, for my example, and it’s true: “it’s just more hours.”

Lived in a student accommodation (pre-mobile but after most rotary dialers) which had a phone for receiving incoming calls which had no touchpad or dialer on it to "prevent" students making calls but otherwise was an ordinary line. The phone system recognised two signalling types, touch tones and the older pulses sent by rotary dials. It was possible to simulate a rotary dialer by tapping the hook switch the number of times of the digit or 10 for zero with a pause between each digit.

I drive one and I disagree about the voice control, I think it's pretty bad. I tried ten different ways of saying turn on front defrost, but the only thing it understood was rear defrost (or was it the other way around?). I had to Google how to do it and since I don't remember I just use the touch screen now. Rear fog lights and passenger airco I never got working using voice control. After a while you just stip trying what works with voice control and what not and which exact sentence you have to say.

The touch screen isn't that intuitive either. I've yet to figure out how to take an address suggestion and then also add a street number.

Unions mean no more merit based raises or promotions. Your worst performing, laziest asshole of an employee makes the same rate as your best, most motivated employee with the same job title. Rewarding competence or initiative becomes impossible.

Unions fight for these worthless assholes as if civilization would crumble if they weren't given equal pay and benefits.

Eventually you lose your best employees because working with a permanent unfireable set of worthless coworkers is unbearable, and the department fills with people who put in the minimum amount of effort needed to not get canned. They all get fixed yearly raises based on a minimized cost of living increase that currently is waaaaaay less than inflation. Even talking about anything merit related that might result in a discussion about some people getting paid more than others is taboo, to the extent that one risks getting ousted by the union by doing so.

If a company wants to have a culture in which quality of individual work and personal drive are rewarded, they should treat unions like the plague.

Unions represent a race to the bottom for certain industries. Menial labor is different from creative work - your star package handler is not contributing to value in the same way a star engineer with multiple PhD and industry certifications does. If you eliminate the ability to reward people commensurate with the value they bring, they'll find a different occupation and communicate negatively about your company to their peers. Or they'll drop their level of output commensurate to whatever their coworkers produce sufficient to avoid unemployment.

Unions are not the best tool for all workplace related issues. Particularly with regards to the concepts of merit and work ethic.
Yeah, honestly even the Standard environment is pretty minimal in terms of lock-in.

This is it! I guess often people don't realize how much work it is gonna be when they start. If they did they would have never started working on it. But they may actually like the work or want to improve and learn something new while working on it, maybe the work even gives them a meaning of live. They have an imagination of the final thing and can't wait to see it done. So they work and work and work until they finish it. Days are too short for them, sometimes they are so hooked up they are forgetting to drink enough or eat. That applies to musicians too. First they need a talent (prerequisite) and then they have to play the instrument all days long, repeat the same song over and over again and improve. I think it is not "normal" and most people don't have patience for that. Some people have bad environment and are being distracted too much (by family, noise, social media).

Javascript is truly weird to me (I’ve programmed mostly in python and Fortran). From what I understood though, js uses IEEE 754 floating point for everything, simply because it works the same on pretty much any hardware platform. Arm, intel, power, whatever. Int/uint/… not so much. The numbers are therefore 100% sane. The insanity stems from converting «0.0» to float then guessing at how to format it (maybe «int» is what he meant?). Etc.

I don't think people who shy away from GPL are in favor of the free software movement. People who advocate for MIT like licenses like 'open source', but they usually explicitly reject the ideas from free software.

Some of these concerns are simply commercial, and some are philosophical. I think people might have been convinced to dislike GPL. But I don't think that was misinformation or confusion. It might be fear-mongering about the effects of a 'viral license', but we can only guess at their effects.

Personally I dislike GPL because it limits developers like me, and because I find the (roughly true) idea 'you can only use GPL code if you're own code is GPL' too coercive. I don't think that is a virtuous method for improving the world.
I'm the OP and I'm not a native speaker but to my knowledge "quality" denotes in English besides a few other things the meaning of "value" (in the sense of worthiness) or (related to that meaning) "excellence". Something being high-quality makes this thing valuable.

I didn't mean "code quality", or the like, as a license can not enforce that obviously.
