Thoughts on Boring Software
Wow, very well done. I am one of those who grow up late 90s / early 2000s browsing internet, forums, blogs, fansites, presonal websites, and from time to time I go back to web.archive to see again the webpages that made me happy during my childhood / teen ages. This is a great complement for that.

Thank you very much whoever did this - my inner self is really thankful.
A specific example.

I went to a fact-checking conference. During the keynote, the speaker (a previous Wikipedia foundation CEO) used a graph from a study to drive home a specific point. It sounded way too perfect, and I got suspicious.

After the talk I looked up the study, found the graph, and below it the research wrote "Do not interpreted the above graph as X! For reasons Y, this would be false. The graph illustrate Z, with the caveats of ...".

I contacted the conference holders about the obvious issue of using the graph to prove X, and they forwarded it to the speaker. Nothing happened. This in turn drove home a different point for me. Fact checkers don't care about facts if those facts don't fit in the social context that they are being used.
Way too unnecessarily complicated. Just reduce copyright terms to 10 years, maybe 20, and be done with it.

The Web and the Internet are the sum of it's protocols plus the infrastructure build on top of it plus the untangible social effects it has.
This is true for Web3 as well, but the protocols are in their infancy, the infrastructure is sparse and the sociale effects (as of now) concentrated in the blockchain space.
The parent comment wants to discuss those three topics (maybe minus the social implications) with regards to what amounts mostly to a buzzword right now, precisely because Web3's protocols, infrastructure and social implications are far to under developed to warrant serious discussion concerning long-time stable solutions to real-world problems.
I sympathise with earlier comments, that would like to seperate Web3 from blockchain and crypto-coins precisely to discuss the possible merits or protocols actually fullfilling what the crypto space right now fails to deliver on.

The cost of renewable energy hasn't exploded recently. It's the fossil fuels that are expensive and unreliable today.
Many such smelters already act as grid connected batteries. Since they store heat, they can vary their electrical loads and get paid for doing so.

Pretty much anything that heats, cools or pumps water can do this, but the big users are the easy place to start.

There's even startups trying to melt aluminum purely to use it as a storage medium: https://www.alcircle.com/news/azelio-recycled-aluminium-to-s...

No, it's anything but fair. Those heirs did nothing at all. Why should they benefit from these works? On the opposite, copyright should not be transferable.

It should last maybe several years, and that's it. Only then most people would have any semblance of respect for it. And then something entering the public domain would be actually an event people would be looking forward to. Right now everyone considers copyright to be an effectively eternal thing.

It's also really depressing that the entirety of our pop culture is copyrighted, mostly by large faceless corporations.
I don’t understand. The blurring allows you to blur data after it appeared. Isn’t that too late?

On top of that, blurring doesn’t work well to hide text. The demo video is a nice example. I don’t even need software to read that header text after it has been blurred. For smaller text, I likely will need software, but even then, blurring only prevents casual onlookers from reading the text.

Also, Zoom already has a feature to share a specific window (as opposed to a screen. What’s wrong with that?

That leaves the case where you set up the blurring before you start screen sharing. I think that’s a niche use case. It won’t allow you to navigate to a different web page and have sensitive text blurred there, for example.

What am I missing?

I think we are talking past each other.

With WhatsApp the claim was that if someone snuck a backdoor into it there are enough people watching it to make sure that it would be found out soon.

My point is that even more people are sceptical to Telegram and even dislike it strongly so there should be even better chances of someone discovering if something was broken.
2PC: Two Phase Commit
Not a doctor but have experienced something like what you're describing. It is important to be open with your doctor about this stuff because it allows them to accelerate getting you help. Differentiating between suicidal thoughts and intentions (the former of which I had, the latter I did not) made me comfortable enough to have the conversation.

Really though, seek help. It is unlikely you'd lose choices (eg be sectioned) if you're asking for help and engaging with that help.
I have had this very same idea a while ago. I actually like it, and I am probably not the only one, but I could not find anything remotely related to it.

Do you know if this idea/theory has a common name?
I love it. Would buy t-shirts.
Oil doesn't actually come from dinosaurs, but you're right about the difficulty of bootstrapping civilization without easily accessible fossil fuels. We'd best not forget our current capabilities.
An attempt at a serious answer now that it looks like you fixed the units in your post.

One key part is recognizing that “energy TRANSITION” accounts inherently that we are not talking about the design of the final end state 50-100 years from now, as doing so is not useful to the conversation as there are too many unknowns that far ahead. Better to recognize that you do not need 1:1 mapping of energy storage to power usage requirements in this “toy” example as fulfilled by li-ion production.

In practice:

- Solar and wind generation compliment each other structurally (sunnier when less windy, windier at night, seasonally too) meaning that in practice you only need a fraction of power capacity per amount of solar and wind generation. The best summary I’ve come across for this is some of Tony Seba’s/RethinkX’s work on “super power”[1]

- it is always sunny or windy somewhere. More renewables increase the incentive for deeper and longer distance grid interconnections, meaning continental differences in generation can be “smoothed out”

- li-ion energy storage is great for same day fluctuations(storage measured in hours), less so for longer. Other energy storage tech platforms have different economic properties leading to more sensible deployments (the other end of the spectrum is making hydrogen gas via electrolyzer to then convert back via fuel cell - best for storage measured in months)

- You also need to factor in the nuclear and hydroelectric sources existing 50 years from now, as well as the natural gas to bridge the variability until then.

Could go on but there is lots out there discussing the involvement and feasibility of having a very renewables heavy grid.

The key thing is that we need to build as much of all renewables, in as many places as possible ASAP. Penetration of both solar and wind as we can already see can operate well on grids with virtually 0 energy storage. Worst case you can always curtail production. Curtailed production represents someone’s energy storage opportunity.

There are plenty of doctors that rather die than treat their cancer. There was even a "recent" HN story about it. The motivation is that for a nasty one, the treatment is often worse than the disease, and they rather spend their wealth and to easy their pain and enjoy their last months of living rather than going through a very hard process that might not work, might leave them in an not that good state.

Government budgets in the US are enormous because a lot of it is used to benefit domestic businesses. Like car manufacturers in Detroit, who were bailed out a couple of times instead of allowing them to go bankrupt. Despite all the help they have gotten over the years, they still seem to be struggling.

So, yes, European countries also support their businesses in a similar way. Same with China and Russia. That's just how that stuff works. We're talking trillions here. Getting your hands on some of that is just part of running a business.

In Tesla's defense, they have actually been arguing for less subsidies. Right now their biggest issue is that politicians seem to be insisting on subsidizing mainly Tesla competitors (e.g. the before mentioned Detroit based manufacturers) while making a lot of effort to ever name Tesla in their speeches.

How I interpret your original comment is that you're saying "Jack is Jack is Jack, whether it's Monday morning and Jack is full of energy or Friday afternoon when Jack is tired and hungry. Thus, if Jack wants to lose weight on Monday morning, why would he need help to avoid binge-eating hamburgers on Friday afternoon?".

My answer to that is that Jack's brain is not in the same configuration on Monday morning as on Friday afternoon. Thus, Jack's Monday-morning brain makes a decision to lose weight, and guesses that Friday-afternoon Jack will likely ignore Monday-morning Jack's decision. So Monday-morning Jack also puts in place safeguards to prevent Friday-afternoon Jack deciding to ignore Monday-morning Jack.

Some people do have more willpower, and don't need that help. I'm not one of them, and it sounds like the OP is not either. History is full of self-help advice on this very topic - from Socrates, the Stoics, and Confucius to Jordan Peterson, David Allen, and our very own Paul Graham. So it does seem to be a very real problem.
In case of no wind, all Tesla owners should connect their car to the grid with a long cable and reverse in a circle.

Thanks, the `!macro` thing seems to be what I was looking for. Having intermediary temporary files is of course fine.

The use-case at that time was to convert a LaTeX file containing a TIKZ image (therefore having a .tikz file extension) to an SVG which required compiling the LaTeX code to PDF, cropping the PDF and converting it to SVG. Since there were multiple occurrences of this across the project, I wanted to have that as a reusable "function" in the build system. I did not want to write a dedicated script for this because of portability issues (Shell vs. Batch).
Well that was grim.
Most photos seem to come from Utrecht, a large city in the center of The Netherlands that has been very busy purging cars from the city center in recent years.

Since you can reach the city very easily by public transport (and is very easy to traverse on foot or by bike) it is quite delightful to be in.

Up until the 1970s there were plans to add a freeway that would cut right through the city. Some of that infrastructure did get built (visible in the photos that now show a canal again) but thankfully they didn't demolish too many historic buildings along the way...

If you are interested in the ways that The Netherlands tries to keep its cities comfortable and reduce car-centricness (car-centricity?) I can recommend YouTube channel "Not Just Bikes".

The web has grown from something to display documents to a platform for applications. Focus has been placed heavily on optimization of JS jit compilation, but currently browser DOM and CSS layout engines have not cought up leaving a disparity in performance on major browsers.
I'm in the opinion that tables would make a lot of sense as first-class citizens for shell environments. Lots of data typically handled in shells is inherently tabular in nature (for example the outputs of ls and ps etc) and some of the common tools also are intended for tables (awk in the forefront, but also cut and sort as examples). But in practice lot of it is currently very ad-hoc, and handles any sort of edge cases poorly.

osquery already demonstrates that lot of info can be structured into tables, but what I feel is missing is more convenient, shell-like language environment to work with such data.
Yes, that's how symptoms generally work. Symptoms are signs that may or may not point toward a diagnosis. A diagnosis such as depression is something separate that is determined from the collection of symptoms on an individual by a doctor.

> I don’t know enough about the hardware to know why the sensors for heart rate and blood oxygen levels work for me, but wrist detection fails.

My guess would be that the watch can choose to spend more energy when its user specifically asks for a heart rate or oxygen level measurement.

If it used that amount of power continuously to detect a wrist, battery life would suffer tremendously.
What would be the main motivation for reflection? I’d like to be convinced it is fundamentally necessary, or just worth it, given the potential for introducing footguns.

Role models!

Everyone should watch the channel Not Just Bikes https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC0intLFzLaudFG-xAvUEO-A, by a guy who moved to Holland and learned what makes those transformations possible, in my opinion.

The videos are short, informative, engaging, and thought-provoking. Hopefully action-provoking too, since my country, the USA, can use a lot of that change. People here act like it's impossible, but they thought so there too. It's possible and role models help.
I don't like the moving goal posts in regards to disinformation especially about science.

We've originally been told that we shouldn't consider to medical opinions of those that are not trained scientists. Fair enough. But you have someone credentialed that happens to say things that are critical of public policy, and suddenly he falls into that bucket.

I would like an objective statement about what is and isn't allowed to be posted on a social media platform. It has to be equally applied to all. But it can't be "you're not allowed to say anything that could be seen to critique current public policy or [three letter organization]"

> isn’t it possible to mark a file as in use so it’s cant be modified?

That's the route chosen by Windows for binary executables (exe/dll) and various other systems. Locking a file against writes, delete/rename or even read is just another flag in the windows equivalent of fopen [1]. This makes for software that's quite easy to reason about, but hard to update. The reason why you have to restart Windows to install Windows updates or even install some software is largely due to this locking mechanism: you can't update files that are open (and rename tricks don't work because locks apply to files, not inodes).

With about three decades of hindsight I'm not sure if it's a good tradeoff. It makes it easy to prevent the race conditions that are an endless source of security bugs on unix-like systems; but otoh most software doesn't use the mechanism because it's not in the lowest-common-denominator File APIs of most programming languages; and MS is paying for it with users refusing to install updates because they don't want to restart their PC.

It's not that easy, if you consider the environmental issues with digging down large power cables, creating power converters for every single unit, maintenance and replacing after 20 years, employment and network balancing - compared to a single nuclear facility that lasts up to 80 year, it's an order of magnitude easier to maintain, convert and install.

I doubt these are sponsored. But some people would advocate less energy usage in general. Essentially saying we are poisoning and destroying the planet with energy usage.

I doubt people who advocate this see an acceptable way forward to reach what they want. I personally think there isn't such a way forward. But I can see arguing for a desired endstate without knowing exactly how to get there.
I think your root cause analysis is incomplete.
FB is evil because it must make money to stakeholders.
The root cause is that stakeholders want money.

Does your modern version have that definition still?
For battery factories specifically, the term is used for factories producing more than 1GWH per year. That was unusual before EVs became a thing. This particular factory is supposed to scale to about 60GWH capacity. That sounds like a lot but it's only a million 60KWH batteries that would go into e.g. a decent EV. With most ICE car production disappearing over the next two decades, we'll need a lot more factories.

Tesla has actually started talking about Tera factories a few years ago. That's roughly what they'd need to produce 20M such vehicles. And of course they have more need for batteries with their grid storage and truck business. So, it's easy to see how they'd end up with multiple tera factories if they keep on growing like they have been.
I’d need 5k for my expenses and around 2k for running the business. I like the idea of SAFE, didn’t know about it. Ditching the job is indeed what I want to do. Thanks for your suggestion, I really appreciate it!

Another common case is adjusting some value according to a spatial vector's magnitude, like normalizing a vector or scaling gravitational attraction according to the distance between two points.

In the majority of these cases the most reasonable answer is 0.
I was somewhat joking but my company takes checks too - some clients can only pay via check or wire with PO. But we insist on annual subscription simply because processing checks on monthly will be too much overhead not to mention delays.
You don't even know the difference between energy and power. You clearly don't know what you are talking about.

1400GW over a year is 12 Petawatthours electricity production which is 50% of the worlds electricity production. Gasoline powered cars would need 4x that in primary energy. Those numbers are either clearly wrong or you have used the wrong units which would be incredibly embarrassing.
I think you have answered your own question.
