Even if "steam reformation" (greenwashed name for hydrogen from fossil fuels) is no longer used, electrolysis of water still requires transporting water to a hydrogen plant, purifying it, electrolyzing it, and then compressing or liquefying the hydrogen for transport, and transporting the hydrogen to stations around the world.

I could see this being used for airplanes because there aren't very many airports (it's far better than avgas which contains lead, and it's probably better than jet fuel?). But there is basically nowhere outside the far far north where this could be anywhere close to being as good as electricity for cars. Even in Norway today, electric is far more popular than hydorgen.
>Given WhatsApp's move toward a WeChat-like app now, I think some of the criticism against Signal/MobileCoin needs to be reconsidered: Moxie et al. might have seen that coming (which I guess wasn't too difficult in light of WhatsApp's involvement in payments in India) and they are possibly just trying to stay competitive in the long term.

So given that Facebook is also now mining data on every user of Whatsapp, should we reconsider Signal's stance on privacy? Or should the fact a horrible company is further ruining a once great app be irrelevant to what Signal should or shouldn't do?
Forward looking statements are no different than a $39,900 Cybertruck.

They're correct as far as my discussion point is concerned. A possibility of the future, the benefits of being forward looking.

It may not exist, but the point of the statement is to be parity with Elon Musk's discussion style. Not to be on parity with the actual truth. That's the problem: Mr. Musk imagines the future and his discussions are apparently fine. But snap back to reality and suddenly everyone else (who is working on realistic numbers) is wrong.

Electrolysis could exist, and it could be cheap. Much like how a $39000 Cybertruck could exist in enough numbers to warrant customers putting down reservation money on it.

>It's pointing out the absurdity of saying that people aren't free because police can arrest, and in the cas of violent offenders, kill people

I like how you had to add "in the case of violent offenders", even though the GP was talking about peaceful Americans excercising rights. Was Daniel Shaver a violent offender? What about Philando Castile?

No, in other countries, police do not act like a cartel, and yes they are in-fact more free.

> I have a stupid question, why isn't an async runtime a language feature of rust?

Because it was considered inimical to the core values and purpose of the language, which is to be a systems language.

An async runtime being a language feature means a runtime is a language feature, and that is very much undesirable (in fact it used to be part of the language and was removed as it "settled" into its niche from its original design, which was much higher level and more applicative).
Could you add context as to what you're renting? Most payment processors behind common e-com platforms explicitly state you can't use them for renting, homes, cars etc for compliance / risk reasons. This is why dedicated platforms like AirBnb and Turo dominate since they can insure the risk their customers take at much lower rates than you or I could without a whole company behind the concept.

The analyses on why movies looks like they do today has been done to death already.

What happened was that piracy and other forms of commodification gutted the entire middle segment of movie making. What remains today is indie movies and Marvel-style blockbusters and very little in between.

It's not just that people would spend less on watching movies or watch pirated content for free. It's that they would rather spend their entertainment money on streaming services, computer games, etc.

You could in fact make the exact opposite creativity argument by looking at computer games. Since the late 90's we have gone from Half Life to Half Life: Alyx.

Apple moved to the Internet Printing Protocol (which they brand as AirPrint), just as Google did (after they killed Google Cloud Print) and Microsoft (branded as Universal Print).

Also, you can buy a damned fine projector for <$3000 if you have a room you can house it in (about price of high end laptop with a better amortization schedule). Throw distances are easily doable for a 12’ span. Shorter throws are getting more common. You can buy a paint system to put a permanent, pro-quality screen up for a fraction of the cost of a roll-up screen (couple hundred plus ur time). Get yourself a receiver and 6 speakers (including mandatory sub) and you’ll be sitting pretty with a 10’+ screen at home. Paint your walls, ceiling of the room black and you’ll have 90% of what you get at the theater minus the people and overpriced food.

Thank you very much for this and for open sourcing it!

For production, is there a good database system that can index this graph structure?

for incremental update, how do you prune deprecated part of the graph (for example, removed/renamed files/functions?)

and for this example

(function_definition
name: (identifier) @name) @function
{

node @function.def

attr (@function.def) kind = "definition"

attr (@function.def) symbol = @name

edge @function.containing_scope -> @function.def

}

how can it guarantee the python shadowing rule? it doesn't seem to encode any order preference. does the code traverse the source file in the reverse order basically?

And, probably not closely related to stack graph, but about using tree-sitter for c/c++ understanding, how to handle the preprocessor?

because the c preprocessor can make the code look like a completely different language and mess up the parser.

And how to prune and simplify CST to AST at scale (supporting many languages)?
I'm fine with my English but non-native.

I'd advise SICP. Even though it is focused on functional style, it really does apply to general programming.

Every now and then I find a video tutorial for some computer thing very helpful—specifically, the kind where someone does something beginning to end with a screencast—simply because every single damn text tutorial was skipping one or more steps or pieces of context that I guess they thought were too obvious to mention. This is usually for set-up or config stuff, though. For programming I agree that videos are almost universally painful to watch and low-value. I can't begin to understand people who head straight for YouTube when picking up e.g. a new programming language or library(!).

However, for cooking technique and building/home-repair/car-repair, videos are a game changer. Simply amazing. Actually, that goes for sports stuff, too. I find reading about all those things nearly worthless, and watching someone do it while explaining, a much better use of my time.
To the point that governments shouldn't be putting anyone in jail just for revealing their activity, there's a truth to that. But so far as we can use metrics like "journalists in jail" as a proxy for despotism, there's a loss when despots are hand-picking the journalists.

As to privilege and protection, that depends a lot on regional laws.
Congresses can absolutely use the power of the federal purse to encourage policies at the state level. This is one the features of federalism and happens all the time. Most famously, the National Minimum Drinking Age Act of 1984 removed 10% of federal transportation funds allocated to any state that did not raise the drinking age to 21. This was challenged and upheld by the SCOTUS in South Dakota vs Dole.

This is is not authoritarianism.

How does Clojure deals with asynchronous code? In OCaml, you can do IO pretty much everywhere you want, but as soon as you want asynchronous code, you have to use monadic code that will infect everything you use. It's also known as "function coloring" in JavaScript. Having one async part in your code will tend to make everything async, so the best way to tame that is to keep async stuff (which tends to be IO) at the edge of the program. Or be like Go and have preemptive multitasking with "transparent" blocking, where you can write regular code and have everything work asynchronously.
Opposite perhaps clarifying advice:

Do it by hand at least once or twice before trying to automate it.

Doing it by hand often teaches unexpected lessons and can shorten the automation effort.

I have seen far too often the jump from never done a thing to preparing to do a thing a million times a day.
I'm a big fan of Sedgewick's books myself. I like how he has parallel series of his books, for different programming languages. So you get "Algorithms in Java" or "Algorithms in C++" or whatever, depending on your preference. I think he has at least C, C++, and Java versions.

I actually wonder about this a lot. On the one hand, there's more tinkerers and access to open source libraries and information than ever. On the other hand though, it feels like there a lot more engrossing and ubiquitous entertainment that just takes the form of consumption instead of creation. I think about that a lot when it comes to video games.

They satisfy that great human urge to expand, enhance and optimize their sphere of influence, only it's in a virtual world that matters very little. I know many of the brightest people I know still talk, in their 30's, mostly about video games.
It's going to be interesting to see what the long-running consequences of manipulating an entire populous will be. In Europe there are rules that curb speech and their culture is inherently more grounded than American culture - but outspoken individuals are aware of rules not outright banned or silenced in most cases.

China in 20yrs will either be productive and well disciplined to produce for the state - essentially near pure fascism or it might meld into something far more dystopian when newer generations grow up never even knowing what discourse or dissent from dogma is.
PACER should have been free from the beginning. Gatekeeping legal information for profit (even if only used to supplement appropriations) isn't only a problem at the federal level. In many states you need a commercial subscription to even read court opinions and statutes, let alone search. Localities in most places rely on commercial publishers to archive the text of ordinances, which only those with ridiculously expensive subscriptions can access. The digitization of everything had just begun when I retired, but the handwriting was already on the wall. The contrast with the widespread availability of technical doc is staggering: and reminds me of why I changed careers.

You're referring to the administrators of the Democratic and Republican parties as the "left" and the "right." It's better to be specific when we talk about these things, because they're far less philosophical than material. This is about two tiny private clubs; US parties don't even have memberships, they have donors, employees, volunteers, and candidates who can apply to run in party internal elections and to associate themselves with the party in general elections.

I think we are in agreement here. Temporal does exactly what you described. It uses queues to transporting tasks to processes. But it completely hides them from the business process code.

I assume you're referring to the USA Today article, which did, in fact, include a quote.

You do realize that obituaries don't just happen? Your loved ones (or your estate, etc) have to pay the newspaper to run them. If they don't, then nothing happens. There's no government agency out there making sure everybody gets an obituary.

Here's my question to you. Show me an example of the "documentation" you want for somebody, anybody, else. If it's public information that's so easy to find, I'm sure you'll have no trouble at all pointing to an example. After all, people die in Japan everyday.
What is really being measured by things like "growth?" Yes, we have fewer high-profile attention-grabby things. Is that because we have fewer genuinely great inventions, or because the mechanism that brings the news of such things has been drastically changed because of internet decentralization? I think the latter.

> Sure, an improvement may result in higher property taxes which go into effect before the value of the improvement begins being realized, but overall effective property tax rates in the US range between 0.37% and 2.22% per year; this plausibly could make uses where the value would be realized entirely in direct-use by the owner unviable, but there is no way it makes any use where the value is realized through commercial exploitation (whether productive or rent) unviable, even with something of a delay in realization.

Why not?

Suppose you could invest $100,000 to create housing in an area where that would have a 5.5% ROI, compared to a 5% ROI for some non-housing alternative investment with equivalent risk. Then you're going to build housing. Add a 1% property tax and you're going to invest the money in the other thing instead until local rents increase to raise the housing ROI.

> No, especially if they are heavy (as LVT proponents often propose), they don’t merely “stop discouraging” improvements, they make them necessary, because land uses that don’t provide a substantial fraction of the income potential of the land become unviable.

That doesn't actually change the math.

Suppose you could spend $100,000 to construct more housing on your property and then, in the local housing market, the additional housing would have a net present value of $90,000, e.g. because local rents are already low. Then you're not going to do it, because you'd just lose $10,000.

If you suddenly owe a lot of land value tax, you're still not going to do it, because losing $10,000 more doesn't help you pay the extra tax.

Whereas if you could spend $100,000 to produce something with a net present value of $200,000, you were going to do that either way.

The weirdest thing about LVT is that if you got rid of the disincentive to build from property tax (and, of course, restrictive zoning) then the "land value" would crash because if rents were higher than construction costs then construction would happen until they weren't. At which point housing scarcity would be low and collectable rents would be predominantly attributable to construction costs, and only higher in cities to the extent that higher density structures have a higher construction cost per unit area.

But the same thing happens just by getting rid of property tax and restrictive zoning, doesn't it?
They clearly know how to make food, but decided not to. They may have been better at recognizing food reviewers from other institutions in the past.
It ultimately depends on how you define your TCB (trusted computing base). I am not aware of any formally verified compilers for any language, but assuming one exists, wouldn't you also require said compiler to run on a formally verified OS? Also, how do you tackle the infamous "Reflections on Trusting Trust" compiler attack? It's turtles all the way down :)

Long story short, for the vast majority of use-cases, developers can assume that the compiler and stdlib are trusted. This is also how Rust defines "safety", which leaves you to focus on your code and its dependencies.
Then don't do that. Just copy it to a different repo (or some non-respository stash), and explain that the Git history has been sanitized (because it is after all a sample, not a fully runnable app).
