By a dramatic margin the most polluting nations in all respects are non-Western nations. Your tax premise is backwards accordingly.

Insert retort: yeah but that's just because the West outsources its pollution. No, in fact 'developing' countries like China are self-contained pollution monsters. In order to fulfill their own gigantic consumer demand, China has to be the world's most polluting nation with how they've structured their grid and industry. Exports to eg the US are a small share of China's emissions problem and getting ever smaller as a share of the problem.

China is about to become the world's largest economy and gets 60% of its energy from coal, while they aggressively build a lot more coal power plants and their emissions continue to skyrocket (despite already outputting more emissions than the US + EU combined). While US and EU emissions continue to contract (their consumer demand growth + economic growth is largely net stagnant anyway), China will again double its emissions output, guaranteeing the planet will be partially destroyed (if the climate predictions are at all accurate).

Plus the whole environmental nasty thing. I was born in a town which hosted an aluminium smelter, my parents moved from there when I was 10 months old on the advice of a doctor who was a friend of theirs and who had told them they should most probably seek a better place for me to grow up, environmentally-wise.
Except it isn’t dogmatic. Re-read chapter 1 where they write that there is not One True Way and advise the reader to go find other sources along with reading their own book. That is not something dogmatic writers would include.

I don't know how LE does it, but at least with DigiCert (and I assume other commercial CAs), servers sharing the same wildcard cert don't have to share a private key. You generate a separate CSR from each server, and then request a duplicate copy of the wildcard cert using that CSR. That way they can have different SANs as well.

> Knowledge was also extremely unevenly distributed.

Absolutely. Your comments about how hard it was to find even basic info was completely different to my experience in 1985 with a BBC Micro Model B, the manual [1], was a very comprehensive introduction to programming, starting with BASIC and going into 6502 assembly: it was and is the reason I'm a software engineer (I was 10 years old at the time).

The reason for the difference was probably due to the BBC Computer Literacy Project [2], which aimed to make the UK the most computer literate country on Earth at the time.

Even with this awesome introduction, learning programming required a brute-force-of-will approach. Much trial and error, and not much help from the machine (and no tools).

One thing I still have slight PTSD over is that if you wrote anything in assembly and it crashed, then you'd have to reset the computer, losing the typed in program. So if you didn't save, you lost your work. But saving meant recording to a cassette tape, hardly CTRL+S!

Defaults matter, and defaults encode the behavioral choices of like 80% of users. The downstream effects of this are that the default options have the most support. Its totally rational to complain about a bad default option.

Just to add to this, in firefox, you can use the extension "Add custom search engine"[1] and you can add any search engine to your firefox search engine list, and to the address bar.
Another benefit of using this, you can access your saved preferences while searching from the address bar. DDG, Startpage, Kagi all give you a bookmarklet URL which you can add through this extension.

It’s interesting. Our actions have been too weak to stop the pandemic, but strong enough to destabilize our economy and social systems.

I imagine our response to climate change will be the same. Either we won’t do anything, or we’ll do enough to hurt ourselves, but not enough to solve the problem.

This is probably the consequence of our half-assed faux democracy. Power is neither concentrated enough to have an autocrat make decisions, nor distributed enough for crowd-wisdom to take direct action.
Wow, that’s something. Sounds like you were lucky to figure out that pertol fumes were so dangerous to you.

Makes you wonder how many small engine repair techs, snow mobile or motorcycle riders, etc are just falling over dead.
> Anybody knows research, books or else about the origin of burnout ?

Burnout actually overlaps partially or even entirely with depression. You can find a lot of good literature on the dynamics of stress resilience, depression induced by chronic unpredictable mild stress, and chronic social defeat stress that will illuminate the subject.

The term “burnout” is more palatable than “depression” to a lot of people due to stigmas against mental illness. Burnout also comes with a built-in explanation that you “just worked too hard” which some people see as a badge of honor, unfortunately. But it turn out that much of what people describe as burnout is more or less identical to classic depressive symptoms, and much of the same therapy helps address it.

People can suggest all they want. Apple doesn't have to take that suggestion. Apple doesn't have to give you the ability to add search engines period. They give 5 choices currently from what I have read. They can also take money for making one of those the default. None of that is illegal.

I use Svelte full-time and absolutely love it, but I do have to admit I sometimes wonder what lead to the decision of {#if}{:else}{/if}, {#each}{/each}, etc syntax. Seems like there had to be less verbose, more consistent approach... But, I'm probably not fully-aware of the constraints and missing something.

I sometimes miss the brevity of the React way (which can also be good and bad) for handling conditional code-blocks {visible && <Component>} or {visible ? <Component1 /> : <Component2 />}
How did I ever forget "apropos" exists ;)
100% this. I tried to get started as a kid in the early 90's, but there were no resources available for me. Even trying to reverse engineer Gorillas was too much for me at the time, and I didn't have any documentation to help. I got to loops and reading strings, but that was as far as I could go on my own. Rural Alberta sadly also didn't have any libraries or bookshops I could draw from. Back then it really required being in the right place to have an opportunity to learn. Now you just need an internet connection.

That's surprising to hear. I've had one for a few months now. I pulled the nvme drive from my old laptop, put it in the framework laptop, and it booted up and has been running great. I haven't had any issues opening a jpg/pdf, waking up from sleep, or wifi dying.

Which isn't to disregard what you're experiencing, but maybe try updating the firmware? I've seen at least one email they sent out about new firmware that people should probably install if they haven't yet. And maybe try out a liveusb just to see if there's something weird in your installation?

YouTube is a great resource for this. There are countless "maker" channels out there. Even channels and video that aren't explicitly "how to" oriented are great ways to learn.

As an example, Adam Savage's "One Day Build" videos on the Tested YouTube channel are a good place to pick up idea for various techniques using a wide range of materials. You're probably not going to go out and replicate any of the specific builds, but it's a good way to build a mental library of ways to accomplish stuff.

That is just one example out of literally hundreds of good options. Along those same lines, channels like Simone Giertz, Laura Kampf, Evan & Katelyn, etc, etc (this list really could go on forever).

Are there specific projects you have in mind? Really the best way to learn is to not be afraid to try. Accept that you're probably not going to nail it the first time, and will screw stuff up along the way, but that's how you learn.

I think the creativity thing is a fundamental misunderstanding.

Software engineering is an engineering discipline, not an art. Engineering is about applying the best known methodology to solve problems.

That does not mean there is no room for artistry and creativity.

But most jobs are looking for software engineers, not artists. To them it's more important to have a reliable ETA and get a robust product than for you to find new and creative ways to solve their problem.

Live out your need for creativity in your open source side projects.

Generally speaking: Be creating in WHAT your are doing, not HOW you are doing it. The more creative your methods are, the higher the likelihood of failure. Which is good if your goal was to learn something, but not so good if someone is paying you to solve their problem.

Also note that most software engineering is grunt work. That does not mean it can't be fulfilling, but it does mean you don't have to be a 10x engineer to do it. View software engineering as a great way to make money. Then tend to your needs in your side projects.

i've forked chrome to create something like this (meant for native apps in a multi-process environment) and can confirm.

The multi-process architecture and the chrome platform is already a overkill just for a browser (in my opinion), its much more if for each application you have a browser process + gpu process + several renderers.

If you have only one main process, + 1 gpu and a process for each application running you solve that problem, even more if those process are not running javascript as in my case.
That is a totally BS argument. It needs to be thrown out.

I don't know if a difference of 2% between two groups of a 443 person sample really is that statistically significant. I'm not convinced it is, but I'm very open to other views on this.
ah, that makes sense. thanks
Never mind! I see that this was committed some 10 years ago now. I'm not sure how long GitHub has been doing org-mode rendering or if this was originally hosted in GitHub.
XMPP is still alive (= there is a community maintaining protocol, clients and servers). I am using XMPP exclusively for chat since about one year, pulling in most of my friends.

I personally always thought of the Covenant Kodi plugin as "the Netflix of Piracy". I would pay good money for a legit service that offered the same convenient access to content that it did, but the market is incapable of delivering such a thing. I would switch back to it for my TV viewing if the media companies hadn't done such a thorough job of dismantling the decentralized network of streaming sources behind it.

Mercedes had aerodynamic fastback prototypes in the eighties already but they didn't make them as people wanted to buy boxy cars. I remember seeing this on TV as a kid. https://www.mercedes-benz.com/en/classic/museum/mercedes-ben...

Even today cars with an aerodynamic rear and big boot opening are not very common - many makers only have a sedan with a tiny opening and very short hatchback.
Very nice description of the v1, which is obviously flawed. We are in a similar position where the v2 is currently entering in the final stage of assembly (hopefully this one will arrive at the ETA and not before), and my partner and I are trying hard to put together the last specs in place so there won't be much friction during v2 production integration.

Will assess a first post-launch retrospective meeting 30 days after the release, with the hope the patch list length will remain short.

Good luck to everyone.
Top companies in the S&P 500 are delaying return to work because many tried it and were met with absolute mutiny. The vast majority of people got a taste of the remote life and don't want to return.
Like others have said, work provides me a laptop that's sufficient for the job. I probably wouldn't buy something like that for myself.

For personal use, it is basically your current idea. I tend to have a reasonably powerful desktop and a fairly inexpensive laptop. Powerful desktop parts are cheaper than powerful laptop parts. They're easier to upgrade. They're easier to fix when something dies.

If I need more than my laptop provides, I use the desktop. Sometimes I sit at the desk. Sometimes I remote into it. VPN and wake on LAN means I don't even need to leave it on.

This also means if one device dies you're still able to get things done. Laptop is slow, but better than 0. Desktop is not portable, but I'm usually home anyway.
That is the last part of the whole thing. You should have the full code base of your No/Low Code product, so once you do grown out of the designed limit, you could actually dip into or hire programmers to do it. All while sending feedback to the product of what force you to get the full code base.

And I haven't see anything like that ( yet ). Because from a business perspective, you want your client to be locked into SaaS, but from a user perspective, they want to have the option to full control.

But I will take a look at bubble, seems interesting judging by the showcase.
It's funny you say this because just last night I was reading a 1985 copy of UNIX Review [1] and there was an article specifically having a go at C developers who didn't use library functions and rolled their own(!)

Why Amdahl's Law is important
It's much like the Shadowrun SIN system. Anyone who was SIN-less basically didn't exist in the Shadowrun world. It meant you couldn't get housing, reliable work, food, or medicine. Basically, you were a nobody and everyone made sure you knew it. Similarly, mailing addresses have had similar effects in society and now not having a permanent digital presence will become another barrier to block people who found themselves not able to setup such a presence in the past or can't even afford to get online with a cheap phone. All because the corps demand a means to uniformly know who you are beyond your name.

If you built that raft using plans, materials, and labor of society, then you risk your life to go out to the deep water to get food, then your contribution is just the last bit. To suggest it’s so important that the others involved deserve no spoils of your work (put another way - you say your effort deserves more spoils or sole control of the spoils) - then you’re selfish at the very least (although I’d say you’re among the worst kinds of humans to share society with) and exactly the reason why laws that extract aggressively from the wealthy are the only way to inch capitalism toward something resembling equity for most.
It would surprise me if any interpreted basic would store keywords as strings in memory. Replacing them by single bytes is more efficient on memory and makes interpreting the program simpler and faster (if you see a P, you won’t know yet whether that’s part of PRINT, PEEK, POKE, or of an assignment to P or P$). Memory and cycles where so expensive that you couldn’t afford not to make such optimizations.

The Commodore Basics certainly replaced keywords by tokens (https://www.masswerk.at/nowgobang/2020/commodore-basic-renum...)
On the other hand, I did change the default iOS browser easily. However, it would have been annoying to have a list of hundreds of options to choose from rather than the major ones.
Compliance assumes there is an underlying agreement or need to comply.

Characterizing TSMC not being able to find sufficient people to accept their working conditions/pay as "US workers not being compliant" is a meaningless use of the word compliant in this context.
All code in the header leads to a lot of duplicated work for the compiler, which means slow build times. You should avoid this unless it is absolutely necessary for performance to inline methods.
Its awesome to see folks get excited about simple features!
> Is it really true that concerns around UUIDs as primary keys are wholly irrelevant?

I would say yes, with the options we have today with modern compute.

We live in a world where compute is powerful enough to enable Let's Encrypt to issue SSL certificates for 235 million websites every 90 days off the back of a single MySQL server[1].

For high scale environments there are also other options such as async queues and Redis middleware.

Database technology itself is also evolving, and the degree of measurable downside is less than it might have been 10 years ago.

I would still argue that for the vast majority of people, UUIDs are the way to go. I would certainly urge caution against premature optimisation involved with the "but high scale" argument. Sure things MIGHT be noticeable at high scale, but I think its fair to say most people are not doing anywhere enough high scale to do so and should probably just use UUIDs and cross the "high scale" bridge if/when they ever come to it.

Finally, its also worth pointing out that all the hyperscalers use UUIDs or other unique identifiers widely in their infrastructure and APIs, all of which must inevitably be tied into a database backend.
