You are on to something with ”behaviour”, ”actors”, and ”rational” . Ludwig von Mises defined ”rational” as ”aiming to an end, using means”. That means that even someone performing a dance to produce rain is a rational actor. He formulated the axiom that ”humans act”. And then derived his theory from that. The science is named Praxeology. A big difference from the natural sciences is that you really can't falsify a theory using empirics. There is no way to repeat an experiment, because reality has been reconfigured. Therefore axiomatic theory is what you have to rely on. Which is not too bad. After all sciences like geometry also make do without empiricism. (There is no way to empirically disprove that a triangle has an angle sum of 180 degrees.)

Of course it can. You can have a vast mountain of worthless fabric that's not wanted by anyone and still have enough usable and useful pieces of clothing besides that to destroy any local manufacturing.

I've transitioned from a single server running services on baremetal Debian, to running services with Docker on Debian, to running services with Docker on Debian VMs under Proxmox (aka Debian with a repo), to running services on a three-node Kubernetes cluster using k3os (I was using Talos, but it doesn't have Longhorn support yet, and Rook/Ceph was a nightmare).

The baremetal server was the easiest to set up, obviously, but the hardest to maintain. Where did I put that random config? Wait, why did this break when I upgraded X? Switching to Docker (and later Compose) wasn't that difficult, and made maintaining services much easier. Going to k8s has been challenging, mostly because of how I'm doing it - a controlplane and worker node on each physical node in Proxmox. Writing the YAML is, well YAML.

I'm mostly looking forward to not having to keep my VMs updated. I automated a lot of that (VMs are Packer templates) with Ansible, but it's still annoying. Upgrading k8s nodes is a lot easier, IMO.

> We are the most fantastic machines in the known universe. We are electrical, we are chemical, we are mechanical, we are magical.

Yes! I agree wholeheartedly. What the human mind and body can do is monumental and incredible. The depth and breadth of experience we are capable of is truly mystical.

It is this very capacity for near-magical experience that has me very wary of casual use of mind-altering drugs of any sort. I look through the comments on this thread and am horrified by the number of people who think that the highest form of human socialization and relaxation is achieved only through an altered state of consciousness. That to really live, we have to take a substance that changes how we live. The sense seems to be not that the human mind is capable of incredible feats in its own right, but that the human mind is mostly a great conduit for externally-injected meaning and value. It is this perception that concerns me.

there aren't really many other options. having separate schools for migrants would make it difficult for the children to integrate into the local society, but integration is seen as critical for everyone to get along.

immersion into the target language environment is also the most effective way for kids to learn a new language. they will make friends with native speakers, and that will only help their language learning.

in elementary school there is also less focus on academic performance
Regarding your EDIT: that is not a valid way of modifying x. When you try to assign a new foo that way, what you are implicitly doing is calling the copy assignment operator. This normally works by copying each field from the input object to the destination object, but, since the field x is const, it cannot be re-assigned to the input object's x. In fact, very often the compiler will generate a copy assignment operator implicitly for you, but not in this case, because it can't copy values into a constant field.

Also, since you have a local pointer f within some_func, so re-assigning a new object of type foo to it will not alter the original foo. This is not implied by your original comment but it's something one could wonder.
There is a lot of room to get better covid-19 vaccines, as good as you and everyone else would like. The problem is how long it will take to develop them? 1 year? 5 years? 20 years?

I hope that after this wave, we will manage covid-19 like the flu, i.e. a deadly illness for the very old and other risk groups, but most of the people have a general level of immunity to avoid a health system collapse. Perhaps add an anual shot for risk groups, for covid-19 and other similar virus, just like we have an annual shot for the flu.

About your first question, take a look at the history of the polio vaccine. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polio_vaccine#History Note that there are at least two versions. The first one does not cut the spread of the illness, but you avoid the bad cases. The second one cut the transmission, but it has a live attenuated virus that may escape. So ... there is a strange tradeoff, and each country uses a different combinación according to the general level of immunization and when was the last cases in the nearby countries.

Still WSL2 lacks of two fundamental things: the lack of bridge networking (being able to connect to a server running in the WSL from another host in the LAN) and the lack of sharing serial ports with the host (better would be USB devices, but at least WSL1 did share serial ports and since most microcontroller programs and debug with serial port it was sufficient).
Yes, you are. Most of the tags (the cheap ones) wear out after a few washes, but some do not (the expensive ones). And the expensive ones will eventually become cheap. I worked on commercial tech a while back that can scan these tags. And I built a smart home dashboard that does this to track wallets, phones, car keys, my cats and my dog within my home. Tags embedded in pet collars and wallet linings.

I also wrote a prescient short story, titled "Smart Furniture", published 20+ years ago, where the protagonist's day job was driving past people's houses to scan the tags on the interior, and he considered himself "better" than those folks who stood around in malls scanning the clothing of people as they pass by and accosting them with special offers. The ultimate form of "browser fingerprinting" in a way.
The article details where they're at now. They do have a product using a CMYW scheme, but the refresh and saturation are not good enough. The consumer-acceptable product is a standard monochrome with color filters and a front light, which is better, but has lower resolution.

I suppose with intensive R&D they might figure out how to have acceptable refresh and saturation at competitive resolution, but absent a really big shift in how people view emissive displays, I think they will always be niche.

By acceptable, I mean: can I watch a movie on it and it not feel like a flipbook or slideshow; can I game on it. The article talks about how (at least initially) the pigment transition typically took less than half a second. Is this similar to the response time on an LCD? Those are typically 5ms or less now, roughly 100x faster.
I like practicing enterprise at home; it makes me feel more comfortable using them at work, where they're needed.
I can only guess what you mean by this. If it's that people can't get enjoyment out of eating plant-based food, you're wrong. And if it's that people will have less enjoyable lives because they can't eat meat every day, you're also wrong.
It' so excellent to see more "tiny" distros for Kubernetes. The resource requirements of the control plane has plummeted lately, and it'll be exciting to see more IoT devices running the full k8s api.

We over-produce a lot of food in the west. I think there's very little risk of hunger.
For most reading and writing tasks I think I’d rather have a a monochrome display with much higher DPI with extremely crisp high contrast edges. I hope that keeps improving too. Colour is something I’m willing to go without for this type of device. Maybe a single highlight colour would be nice to have as long as the red or yellow pigment occupies the same cell as black, not an adjacent one.

A 600 dpi A4 sized tablet would be lovely. It would be a lot harder to get to that effective dot pitch with colour displays.

300 dpi should be the entry level.
What gaslighting! OP says the work for profit situation makes him depressed. Replier takes this and on the basis of five paragraphs of text discards this notion and says it must be some deeply rooted unrelated personal problem.

I'll take OP's assessment on its own merits and validate it and say the screwy work situation out there can be depressing.

Another interesting thing with replier is how he is trying to isolate you. You are alone in his view, or at least marginal, and have some deeply rooted defective aspect. The truth is OP is not alone in his thinking, as other posts in this thread can attest, and link to places like /r/antiwork where you can find more who think like this. You can see the move here to try to keep you isolated, and dull you on organizing together with others of a like mind.
That’s quite a strong indictment of most of the JavaScript community/ecosystem.
That’s my point, other didn’t succeed because Elon alienated people with his promises of bringing the Hollywood blockbuster style future the masses dream of. It’s about time, where are the flying cars and hover boards. Why would one buy an boring car when one could have the car from the future from the man from the future. But it’s just a scam, teslas won’t drive themselves as it was promised, à la "driver is there only for legal reasons". It’s too late, the very people that got scammed are trusting his bullshit even more. No amount of facts will change their minds. Same as trump followers. He will achieve full self driving in 1 year with no lidar. He can do more with less. He can do everything with nothing.

Now how will other business compete? Will they need to go full bullshit to survive? Because in the end if lots of people buy, it’s a success, right? It’s just about money, who cares about truth and facts?

I think he is a terrible role model, and his "success" only proves that there’s a growing amount of people participating in a collective delusion. I’m sincerely worried.
Thank you.

This story comes up from time to time and I hate it. Knuth was asked to illustrate literate programming style, and he did so. The request was not "show us how to find the most frequently occurring words in a file." McIlroy's response would be fine for the latter and utterly useless for the former (and actual) request.
But it's mostly true, and that's what matters.

Nobody's trying to build a super rigid structure around the division of labor, they're just trying to create a general set of guidelines that will help answer questions quickly.

I got an Kobo Aura HD.

With each update the UI moved piece by piece from library mgmt focus, to shop focus. Personally I wasn't that much annoyed, because I mostly go by filesystem folders, but there are probably some that got shafted.

About the openness of Kobo: my device can dualboot to debian or android in contrast to the Kobo Linux. I was able to change the main storage easily, it was only a microsd card in a slot internally, which after a dd copy to a bigger card was accepted and even recognised as bigger in the UI free space screen. (I'm not talking about the external microsd reader that this device also has.) The battery is a typical lipo flat pack, which should be replacable from some arduino parts online shop.
> Perhaps it has to do with aptitude and education and experience. Not everyone can be a SWE just like not everyone can be an artist or an athlete.

When I was in school I remember reading an article titled "Teach Yourself Programming in 10 Years"[0], and at the time I found it pretty funny. I was learning to write Java at a rate I'd never picked up anything else before, how could it possibly take 10 years to call yourself a programmer?

Nowadays, I've just about hit that 10 year mark and I feel like I have nothing to show for it. Some nights I lie awake staring at the ceiling, wondering if I've wasted my time learning something as vapid and meaningless as computer science. Time on this earth is so unbelievably valuable, throwing away even a minute of it makes you the envy of the dead. It's been a decade and I still feel funny calling myself a programmer.

What people compensate you for is wasted time. All those nights you decided to fiddle with NGINX instead of drinking with friends, the times you pushed away a loved one or a partner just to polish a commit before you pushed it, the years you wasted talking with people who will never see eye-to-eye with you but demand an argument nevertheless; as I get older and time starts slipping through my fingers like sand, I don't know if any amount of money could fill that void. The only thing I'm left with is a sort of unfulfilled sadness that makes me wish I spent more time with people, or cultivating my social garden, as it were. Instead I find myself past the point of no return on this track though, damned to walk the same path everyone before me did, and then some.

Not everyone can be an SWE because most people have self-respect.

I was reading a bunch of these comments thinking "winmodems were terrible". Thanks for that.

I remember carefully selecting modems. Most of the PCI modems in popular retail shops were winmodems so getting one that used the ISA bus was the first step. But even that was not the safest bet. Online shopping was nothing like it is today, so getting a known good model was more difficult.

Also the author either misunderstands what bash is or is dumbing the jargon down so much that they’re misleading the readers what bash is. However most of the “bash commands” are not bash builtins but rather Linux coreutils. Those same commands would work the same in any shell on any OS with the GNU coreutils installed. But they wouldn’t work on any system running Bash and an alternate coreutils.

If one wants to learn go there are much better resources online.

Better yet, provide a link that describes seawater extraction in great detail, that sparks the imagination and is compelling to people.

The most available fission resource is the large amount of Pu, U238 and U235 in spent reactor fuel. Fast spectrum reactors can completely consume the common U238 which is more than 100 more common than the rare U235 which current nuclear reactors are fueled with.

Current 'nuclear waste' could fuel our civilization for hundreds if not thousands of years. The energy content of uranium with fast cycle reactors is so high that we could run on uranium from low-grade sources like seawater. Uranium from granite rock in New Hampshire has an energy content similar to coal.

I am from McKinsey. I do not work on Kedro, but am a data scientist who has used it. I have mixed feelings on Kedro.

Pros:

* Forces data scientists to produce an end product that is not poorly organized Jupyter notebooks.

* Data Catalog is good for well structured systems

* Pipeline visualization stack is great (Kedro viz)

* Config options are pretty good

* Seems stable. Dev team is pretty good on this and avoiding breaking changes.

Cons:

* Data catalog is kind of bad for any non structured setup with flat file data with manual file movement (which is bad to begin with but sometimes that’s life)

* Productivity of making brand new data science code seems to drop when data scientists leave notebooks and

* Most of the time I get brought into a client context because the client doesn’t know anything about data scientist. A lot of data scientists, from both parties, come from academic backgrounds and aren’t great at code. The nice thing about notebooks is that they run. Kedro requires you to create pipeline and node objects to wrap around your code before it runs. It requires some familiarity with Kedro to understand, run, or modify. This makes it seem like a bad idea to dump on a novice client. If the data scientist on their side inheriting it doesn’t really get it, or leaves, there’s unlikely to be enough internal knowledge to maintain it. I try to avoid pushing any new tech stacks on my clients where I can for this reason.

So… I like it but don’t love it for consulting work, which is ironic.
It is genuinely frustrating to work with someone who insists on building tools that others have built better and actively maintain.

I have, in the recent past, told someone if they can't get used to using 3rd party libraries, they should seek employment elsewhere.

I'm just tired of having the argument. Maybe some shops can afford to build everything in house, but nowhere I've ever worked can.
