The consequence of that is that every release is a fairly big deal requiring a lot of coordination overhead among a huge number of people, which bottlenecks how often they can happen. That's fine for a foundational piece of technical infrastructure like an operating system kernel, but Web apps and other forms of continuously delivered software want to release weekly or more frequently, and there's no way that could happen if every release incorporated 12,000 people's work. That is the problem that microservices solve.
Electrification goes beyond cars. Think of how much fuel they need for heat in Finland. Electrification means replacing that fuel with electricity.

And many reactors are able to modulate their output, either by absorbing neutrons to slow the chain reaction, or by letting steam bypass the turbines.

I think today more than ever we can agree that relying on gas may put any country in a far more precarious position. Remember that you can make enough electricity at home if need be, even if at a hefty cost maybe. The same cannot be said for the gas to power your stove and heating for any reasonable cost.

You're being misleading here. Your original comment heavily implied that nickel is essential for humans and stainless steel pans were an important source.

Per your source, nickel-containing enzymes are present in "primitive eukaryotes". Not humans. There are no known human enzymes or cofactors that depend on nickel.

Chromium, meanwhile, has been known to be an essential trace element in humans for many decades[0][1].

But isn't gas not also reliant on power, nowadays? Do modern gas stoves still work without power / allow manual opening of the gas valves?
I totally agree with the comment here. I love that you say:

> I see no other way for global civilisation to come to terms with our historical cultural differences

I agree.

But the path we are on is the opposite. 'We' (or whoever is running the show - as I don't think the state we find ourselves in is natural) is not about allowing for diversity of opinions, and building personal resilience and tolerance to diverse thinking via the application of reasoned argumentation.

No. Instead we herded into low engagement, preferably simplistic binary positions. We are even moving away from law, into a time of cancel culture driven by corporate policy. We are going into hardcore tyranny of the individual.

The reason is (imo) that it is far easier to govern when you treat people as a collective. If you have imprinted thoughts patterns into what might have been individual thinkers, and support that throughout their lives via top-up programming from the media, you can guide this communal thinking.

The answer from my perspective is for everyone to be trying achieve maximum individuality. (Everyone thinks they are individual, but they are actually expressing received opinions. I don't even say I am an exception - though I do think I am working on it.)

But who's got time for individuality?!? There are mortgages to pay, children to train into the system - er, I mean educate, work takes a lot out of you, and passive engagement with screens is so tempting.

Maybe in the next life!
>Popular Hollywood female villains, maybe.

Well, this is about "modern movies".
I wondered about this as well but speculated that basic compression, either gzip or Brotli, would account for it and, in the case that someone doesn't care about bundling their code, they probably don't care if it has comments (types) in it. If they do care about bundling, even if that is just `cat`, then I think the code is "built" to some extent already.

I would enjoy the flexibility to ship types but personally don't have any need for it. Seems like "boiling the frog" for type-checking in the browsers to me but I personally like the idea of encouraging more typing in native JavaScript.

Unless there’s something weird about that cooktop, you almost certainly don’t need new pans.

Can you give more info on fitting volatility curves?
Yeah agreed. Remote meetings with screen sharing can be incredibly effective for learning and innovation, if the people have a good rapport and can work well together, plus have fast internet and systems so there's not technology friction.

This allows you to get 5+ people looking at one screen close up in detail, which is hard on a physical screen. This also allows for long sessions which is hard on a physical screen as usually if it's more than 2 or 3 people then some people are standing up.

"How much more nuclear wast does that imply per decade?"

The popular YouTube channel The B1M has an interesting video on how Finland is tackling nuclear waste:

Finland might have solved nuclear power's biggest problem (2021): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kYpiK3W-g_0
See https://whatisnuclear.com/non-proliferation.html#how-is-nucl... for one of the mechanisms whereby dual-use technology presents issues: obtaining fissile material is difficult, and while nuclear power plants are not a prerequisite, they make it easier.

I agree that dependence on geopolitically and environmentally problematic fossil fuel sources is a pressing concern.

I'm not sure what you're trying to say here. Are you suggesting that we should excuse parental abuse, because a child would be a worse parent than an adult?
Chickens do not need to feed on grain. They are omnivores that eat almost anything. You can just feed them table scraps and let them forage.
If we were talking about a startup, I'd agree with you. But given the vast resources at Amazon's disposal, I think assembly could be a legitimate option. Risky? Yes. But why not give it a shot? Assembly programmers are a dying breed, anything to incentivize people to write it is a win in my book.
Incorrect, it actually is much more efficient.
They aren't as popular in the US because they're considered commercial appliances and it's assumed you are on a business budget if you want to buy one. This means the store carries like 3 models and they cost literally ten times as much as a traditional glass cooktop. $250 vs. $2500.
Amateur home cook offering my experience using a portable induction cooktop next to my electric stove top. I'm in the US, so my induction cooktop is an anemic 1800 watt one because it's 120V, instead of the beefier European/Asian models that are 3500W 220V versions.

That out of the way, here are the positives from my perspective:
* induction boils a pot of water dramatically faster

* the pots, in general, heat up much faster and reach cooking temperatures VERY fast (as in, under two minutes)

* the surface itself only heats up as a result of the pan itself back-heating the surface of the cooktop.

* fixed, known heat settings for specific temperatures.

* almost instant pan response to temperature setting changes.

Here are the downsides from my perspective:
* No fine control of the "heat". I have eight temperature settings ranging from 140F to 460F. That's a wide range with only ten steps, so I frequently wish I had more fine control of the settings, especially at the lower end. The steps are 140F, 212F, 260F, 300F, 350F, 400F, 425F, and 460F.

* Fan noise. The unit has a built-in fan that is very noticeable.

* It's much easier to burn sauces, because the heat right at the cooking surface seems to be much hotter because it hasn't radiated throughout the whole pan yet. (Please feel free to just say "git gud" at my poor skills.) I don't really know how to articulate this well, but I find myself adjusting for a certain level of boiling, but being surprised at how hot the bottom of the pan actually is, which leads to a burned sauce.

* Only works with certain pans. Most of my cookware is newer and designed to work with induction stoves, but I have a complete set of expensive stainless cookware that I inherited from my mother, and it doesn't work with the induction burner. Works great with cast iron and enameled cast iron, and I have a nonstick aluminum pan that has an iron plate on the bottom, so it works fine. I also have an all-clad stainless frying pan that is triple-layer, and one of those layers is iron, so it works well also. Any non-magnetic pans will not work (copper, aluminum, and older stainless pans).

I use my induction burner when I am cooking something for a long time outside, when I am boiling pasta or making lighter soups, and for deep frying.

I use my conventional electric stove when I am cooking meat, sauces, or thicker stews.
Getting involved in a war, trade war, or campaign of human rights abuse is a completely separate category from, say, spending 100 billion on some project.

You might upset the economy a bit. Maybe someone will call you an idiot. But at any rate you made some jobs and nobody died. Nobody is going to demand sanctions unless someone is being badly abused.

We did not spring into action with the pandemic. The only thing we did was make the vaccine, and we can't even keep up with the variants with that.

If we really "Sprang into action" we would have small thermal cameras in our phones by now that would warn us of fevers.

We would have grates in the floor making a constant downward airflow, and vents blowing HEPA air in the ceiling in major public spaces.

Cashiers would have barriers and small filters making walls of clean air indefinitely, not just "Till the worst of the pandemic is over" It would be such a big industry they'd have advertising projections on the acrylic.

Busses would have the same thing.

We would have "Trying to get your employees to work sick" become a 10 year sentence kind of felony.

We'd have subsidized masks that actually do something, with battery powered fans.

We don't do these things because we accept infectious disease as part of life, and there's basically no interest in actually stopping it with any kind of sustainable long term technical evolution like we did with sanitary sewers.

It seems the current system is considered good enough.
The sweet spot would be a fissile material that can sustain a chain reaction but is not radioactive at all. Unfortunately, such an isotope does not exist. 235U and 239Pu are the next best thing.
I just removed the stupid efficiency comment. Not worth the agita, and I'm probably mistaken.

Induction hobs cut out a loss leader for gas: gas stoves. Once you have gas in your home it makes sense to install the main moneymaker: a gas furnace for heating. It's how they upsell.

This runs counter to the principle that more/better information makes for better markets.
To me there are two core issues reflected in your question. Fundamentally your manager does not understand programming, and fundamentally they do not respect your judgement in hiring or how to hire.

Most good programmers are going to use Google to check on relevant information for their problem, even if it's related to a language or area they are relatively familiar with. That just because of the nature of technical problems, software and Google. So not pinning your hiring on detailed recall of specifics in an interview without allowing Google is just reasonable.
It's easier to change insurance companies than governments if not satisfied.
OTOH, I've definitely taken classes with years out-of-date syllabi. It is a funny thing, where some instructors consider it to be the fundamental contract between them and the student, and others consider it to be an annoying bit of extra busywork.
I think we're agreeing. What matters is where your body is--not where a computer you're connecting to is located or where your employer's HQ or other office is. Or where the person you're providing support to lives.

Fascinating. Thanks for sharing! In other news, does anyone know of an up to date catalog or list of all the “defaults” settings, possible values, and what they do? I looked for this several years ago and found nothing, and Apple’s documentation on MacOS was far better back then. As in, it existed. These days ask i can find is incomplete objective c docs that were auto-generated and offer absolutely nothing of value whatsoever (to me). So if anyone knows of some useful docs, please share!
In our previous house we cooked with gas, we had a fantastic stove with a wok burner. Amazing thing. With our new house we - against my best judgement - went for induction.

It's amazing, way better than our old gas stove. I'll never go back.
This downfall is cyclic. Let me translate you some old but still delicious Russian copypasta:

"As soon as Lenin died, it turned out that the second person in the Party, comrade Trotsky, was a traitor. Kamenev, Zinoviev, Bukharin and Stalin overthrew Trotsky and banished him from the USSR.

After a couple of years it turned out that Kamenev, Zinoviev and Bukharin were also enemies and traitors. Valorous comrade Heinrich Yagoda shot them.

A little later Yezhov shot Yagoda as an enemy agent. But after a couple of years it turned out that Yezhov was not a comrade, but simply a traitor and enemy agent. And Yezhov shot Beria.

After Stalin's death, everyone realized that Beria was also a traitor. So Zhukov overthrew and shot Beria.

Soon, Khrushchev learned that Zhukov was an enemy and a conspirator. And exiled Zhukov to the Urals.

A little later, it was revealed that Stalin was an enemy, a saboteur and a traitor. And with him, and most of the Politburo. Then Stalin was taken out of the Mausoleum, and the Politburo with Shepilov, who joined them, were disbanded by honest party members led by Khrushchev.

Several years passed and it turned out that Khrushchev was a voluntarist, a rogue, an venturer and a traitor. Brezhnev made Khrushchev retire.

Soon Brezhnev died, and it turned out that he was a senile, a saboteur and caused the Stagnation.

Then there were two more seniles which no one remembered because they died like flies.

Young, energetic Gorbachev came to power. And it turned out that the whole Party was a party of saboteurs and enemies, but he would fix everything now.

This is where the USSR collapsed. And Gorbachev turned out to be an enemy and a traitor."

All in all it may take less money than some startups raise.
Wow. If this doesn't read like a submarine article[1], I don't know what does.

You can easily test your pans with a fridge magnet. If it sticks it'll almost certainly work.

We switched to induction about a decade ago, had to replace one cheap skillet.

Soooo many questions :-)

A commentary about the shortcomings of western civilization from someone that doesn't understand what makes our civilization a success.

All the other civilizations have large powerful governments that intervene in their society. The West's strength comes from the fact that governments are generally restrained, slow, and more power and freedom is given to individuals. Governments are supposed to not be able to get anything done.
Stephen Kotkin has a good talk on this. TLDR is the Russian culture has a tendency towards supporting strong autocratic rulers, especially those “in defiance of” something (capitalism, the west, etc)

That's a weird metric (one meltdown is quite a catastrophe) and the calculation seems suspicious too. Between Chernobile and Fukushima I don't see how this could be correct.

I have worked with .NET for a long time and recently did some work with Java, node and python. .NET has a lot going for it but i feel MS is making things more complicated than they have to be. When I need to achieve something a little off the beaten path in the non .NET technologies this is often pretty straightforward to achieve whereas in .NET I have to find some obscure interface and overrides to implement and then deal with weird side effects. I think .NET has become too big for its own good to be maintained by one party. The documentation also has a lot of volume but almost no structure. When .NET started out it was pretty coherent but in the last few years it felt very disjointed without a central design philosophy. Don’t even mention desktop development which is a complete mess since Windows 8.

Maybe I am too negative on .NET but personally find the open source alternatives easier to work with and more fun.

Browser could build optional type support (for example with warnings), so you can leverage it and skip all packaging stuff.
