One thing that is extremely useful IME is to learn how to read code, but don't worry about writing code. For example, check out the APIs of a service using its API explorer, and then read some of the code behind those APIs. Most code is very straightforward and the code that isn’t, is either a.) well documented, since SDEs also have to grok it, or b.) only understood by a few SDEs on the team, but those SDEs are willing to take the time to explain it to newcomers.
I would dispute the idea that nuanced /messaging/ can't happen at scale (discussions are a different thing altogether). While I understand that everyone is up in arms about COVID-19 communications these days there are lots of instances around the world of effective communication that in the end had to be fairly nuanced.. most populations understand that vaccines are useful and effective but not perfect, most populations do understand that their particular risk is low but population-level risk is quite high.

I guess we can quibble about the definition of "nuance" but the idea that vaccine science and hospital capacity management is very direct doesn't hold much water with me, maybe others disagree, IDK?

Genuinely, used. People selling nice furniture are usually moving and it doesn’t fit/suit your new place and they want it gone quickly so it’s cheap. You will occasionally get a disappointment or a dud, but in return you pay a third or even less sticker price, putting premium beautiful furniture in the same price range as budget stuff.

I haven’t got a single piece of furniture in my house I bought new, after gradually replacing the ikea rubbish I got when I moved out a decade ago. It is much easier if you have a ute or similar to transport it though.

Yes, any word can be used metaphorically. I just don't like the metaphor in this case.
Pretty well. The only challenge I've ever seen on my cars (Nissan, Jaguar, multiple Audis, not at the same time) is when its standing water on the windshield and often grey mornings, when there's not much light to trip the light reflection aspect. But that's a small price to pay. My current Audi has variable intermittent wipers (i.e. there's off, intermittent*, steady, fast, where intermittent has three settings in itself) where you can toggle between timer-based intermittency and rain sensor-based (that toggle is via the MMI console, the rest is on the stalk).
I get this a lot with URL autocomplete. For some reason it decides “news” means “some other URL with news in its <title>”, then out of habit I type news+enter and it takes me to that website, further reinforcing “Yeah he goes to this website a lot, let’s keep that at the top autocomplete priority!”

So now I have to type “news.” before it will fill news.ycombinator.com, because it started showing me the wrong option and I kept inadvertently picking it because it used to give me the right one.

There doesn’t seem to be any mechanism for it to realize “every time this happens he closes that website immediately and goes to a different one that we ranked #2 in the autocomplete search.” So until I retrain my muscle memory I’ll just keep on mistraining the autocomplete even further.

Great read.

Interesting variations to the rules. Here's an annotated quote:

"The nine changes considered in this study are listed in Table 1. No-castling and No-castling (10) involve a full and partial [not allowed during first 10 turns / 20 plies] restriction on the castling rule. Pawn-one-square, Semi-torpedo [can move 2 squares on 2ed and 3rd ranks], Torpedo [can move 2 squares], Pawn-back [up to your 2ed rank, don't count against 50 limit], and Pawn-sideways involve changes to pawn mobility. Self-capture chess allows players to also capture their own pieces. Finally, Stalemate=win recasts stalemate as a win for the attacking side, rather than a draw."

Do any chess games support these modes or is these possible to play today?

I think you're off by one. The F150 is a "half ton" class truck, often used for passenger service duty. The F250/F350 ("three quarter ton" and "full ton") are more often used for serious truck work, being towing, service truck chassis, etc.

But "towing as bragging rights" really only applies to individual truck ownership. There are certainly plenty of those (I'm one), but that sort of thing doesn't matter to fleet owners who care about TCO and if it will do what they need. A 30k tow rating on a company truck that spends the week towing an 8000 lb construction trailer around doesn't matter, and any sane company won't bother with an obscene tow rating if a lower one is fine. That doesn't mean you should be towing at the rating, but a 12k tow rating for an 8k trailer is totally fine. If, in the deal, you get lower operating costs and site power, so much the better.

But I just don't think a 3/4 or full ton BEV makes much sense. The range hit you take towing a large trailer (especially a 5th wheel RV) is substantial, and subject to a lot of things you don't have much control over, like winds. A stiff headwind or even a crosswind can make a huge difference in range on a tank of fuel.

Putting something like a 200hp diesel (rated for continuous operation) in with a 50-80kWh battery pack for a truck like that gets you an awful lot of nice things. No, it won't be cheap, but trucks aren't cheap anyway.

If you had something like a full ton class truck, 50 or 80 kWh battery pack, 150-200hp diesel, 240V/50A out from an inverter when stopped, you've built something that will do just about every work truck duty out there, as well as being exceedingly appealing to the RVers, because now they have a full hookup anywhere they are - and if the battery is low, oh well, the engine kicks on to charge things for a while. $100k, $120k for such a thing, with a decent interior, isn't at all unreasonable. It just has to be able to take a 5th wheel hitch.
> You have corporations buying off scientists (if not to rig experiments/falsify results, then to bury unfavorable findings), journals willing to publish any garbage with little (if any) meaningful review, then media companies willing to turn that junk science into a click-bait friendly press release for a company or industry.

What reason does a corporation have to pay for science that they know will not work? That's self-defeating. At best it's only advantageous in the very short term before you try to actually sell a product that doesn't actually work. (One more reasons these absurd pre-revenue SPACs are horrendous.)
The durability of modern electronics is.. considerably better than old electronics.

Consider this, I have a 1989 Plymouth Acclaim, it has all of its original electronics, all of which more or less work - not only that, I can keep going out and buying spares for it, its a 33 year old car.

I think the restorability of old cars will be somewhat better than it might appear, because the supply chains exist to keep them alive in the long run.

Old computers are another issue, because the supply chains for long term maintainability just.. dont exist - so you're left looking for gray market spares in weird places, hoping you can find oddball parts that were often used in one off designs.

How is it possible to peer review a paper when the only people qualified to do so are the one's involved in the research. Seems like a massive issue. Don't want to cast to much shade here, but there's a fair number of people that called out high energy physics for having problematic methodology. See Constructing quarks by Andrew Pickering. Ultimately, it should be CERNS job to release the data, yes even if it is terabytes in size, because that's the whole point of science.

I feel like you're ignoring the actual history here, these are a few excerpts from right before the 1.0 release of Rust[0]:

> Rust has remained true to its goal of providing the safety and convenience of modern programming languages, while still offering the efficiency and low-level control that C and C++ offer.

> When used in its own most minimal configuration, it is even possible to write an operating systems kernel in Rust.

> The resulting design is not only simpler to learn, but it is also much "closer to the metal" than we ever thought possible before. All Rust language constructs have a very direct mapping to machine operations, and Rust has no required runtime or external dependencies.

They do actually have a group working on making `unsafe` better, so they do somewhat recognize the problem (I'm not sure about the results, but the last time I looked at it was probably over a year ago): https://github.com/rust-lang/unsafe-code-guidelines

Perhaps another catch is that, at least in my experience, the most common situation where `unsafe` can into play is interop with other languages/libraries/etc.. Some of it is avoidable, but a certain amount of it is necessary just be able to interface with existing non-Rust code, so it's not really optional in those situations.

Also, just to be clear, I do actually like Rust, and I've written a few different things in it. I just think the state of `unsafe` is poor to the point that it's very hard to determine if you're doing something correctly, which in my opinion makes unsafe unusable for its purpose.

[0]: https://blog.rust-lang.org/2014/09/15/Rust-1.0.html

Edit: To be clear, I'm not attempting to defend Actix, that was silly. I'm just talking about situations where unsafe is unavoidable, which really covers a lot of potential usages of Rust.

> The author acknowledges what you are saying in the second half of the fourth paragraph.

Exactly. The authors argument against Bitcoin is recycled and is already widely known. Bitcoin is the easiest to attack and everyone knows it is still unsuitable for payments. Hence this, how does Bitcoin’s unsuitability apply to all cryptocurrencies which that is her argument?

As for the rambling on about the re-centralization of the web3, that is reserved for another another debate since they are talking about using cryptocurrencies for fast and efficient payments and donations. Not web3.

> They did not name alternate cryptocurrencies, but it is implied in the text.

The only one they can name is Bitcoin or any other PoW cryptocurrency.

The author chooses to generalize where it is unsafe to do so as if only PoW cryptocurrencies exist.

We are still in an icehouse period, yes! However, a few things may make it a bit harder for that to develop into a full snowball, currently:

1) While having continents at the poles makes it easier to have icesheets at all, it also makes it harder for them to grow into a full snowball. This is because

a) covering the continents with ice shuts down silicate weathering (and silicate weathering consumes CO2, so that's a stabilizing negative feedback)

b) the difference in albedo between water and sea ice is greater than the difference in albedo between land and ice. So if you can get cold enough to start making sea ice at the poles, you should get a stronger positive feedback of cooling -> higher albedo -> more cooling

During the Neoproterozoic, most or all of the continents seem to have been near the equator, so silicate weathering could keep going until sea ice reached the "point of no return" of the sea ice-albedo feedback [e.g. 1]

2) The biosphere is pretty different today than it was last time we had a snowball, and there is some reason to think that evolutionary developments like land plants and pelagic calcifiers may make the climate system more stable than it was 700 million years ago.

None of that is to say it's impossible though! The solid earth acts slowly, but it's a big lever, so hypothetically if you could somehow crank silicate weathering up high enough and volcanic degassing down low enough, you could probably still in principle reach the tipping point again.

For your last question, you are probably thinking of Milankovitch cycles [2] -- those are definitely going strong as well, though generally not strong enough to get us into or out of a snowball state.

> How mindblowing to imagine. We should make a simulation of the entire earth history where you could follow the atoms and molecules from the birth in stars to the forming of the earth and then through forming of continents, erosion, sedimentation, subduction, eruption as lava, etc. etc. Of course we only know a partial history of a fraction of material in these longterm cycles but still, it would be a nice way for our brains to get a moving simulation of all that science learned about the Earth System History. It would beat Google Earth or a planetarium or universe simulator. You could watch the neighbourhood you live in and follow it back in time for as far as we know.

Maybe this is the simulation.

I'm German and thanks for the compliment but I think you can give the US government, or particular agencies some credit as well.

The German government, public research sector and so forth work really well with industry and the Mittelstand, but our digital infrastructure is well.. not great. France is much stronger in the aeronautic/space sector which I always find a little bit embarrassing, and I'd be surprised if you see a German governmental institution produce something as relatively modest as Ghidra.

To be fair, I think it is an achievement on the scale of putting a man on the moon.

Putting a man on the moon is a great technical achievement, but really, the reason people remember it so much is that it is a pissing contest that the US won. But being able to be productive against bureaucracy is maybe the greatest achievement for a big country. And I am sure that's also what made Apollo successful.

Operation Warp Speed probably won't feature in the history books, it is not as symbolic as a moon landing, it just made vaccines available a bit sooner. I don't think it really changed the course of history, but the time savings have saved thousands of lives, maybe millions, shortened lockdowns, allowed schools to open, etc... It is just statistics, but there are some statistics I am happy not to be part of.
Distance Between Points on a “Toroidal Disk”
The author is trapped in a delusion. Hopefully temporary. He makes a set of hard judgments that are rather arbitrary. For instance, he says it would be better to be presented scratch notes instead of a blank page. But the editor can’t know what I want to write or do. A blank page can be a heuristic for new capture.

And there is a heuristic called the forward-backward method, which involves thinking backward from a conclusion to the premises. I often use it when I write. That means starting from a title or a template for the final form of the work and then filling it in. I wrote a book, once, by copying the format of another book I found at the bookstore and just replacing it with my content.

There are many ways to go about creating things. I don’t want tools that constrain me to one “best” way.

Yup, I switched about six months back because of the persistence of optimising for engagement by Spotify was eroding the experience of listening to music. I just want to be able to view a list of albums I have added to my library, by artist and release year, along with seeing an searched artist’s wider discography to listen and/or add to my library or playlists.

When Spotify first launched it was pretty good but honestly almost everything they have added or changed ever since had made it a worse product for my use case, and so I have finally left.
I think TCP's logic is more subtle than "if anything comes in out of order, retransmit", in particular, there's a "Retransmission Timeout" that converges to something like ~2x the average roundtrip latency. I assume that custom UDP-based protocols used by VoIP and such will have similar provisions, where they don't declare a packet "lost" until a significant period of time has elapsed. My understanding is that the reason these mechanisms don't handle multiple connections well is because the two connections might have dramatically different typical latencies, not because the packets may be mildly misordered on the other end.

I'm not sure if more modern "smart" protocols that themselves explicitly try to measure and model the underlying network buffers would be confused by LIFO though, especially since the variance in round trip latency will be higher with a LIFO queue.
