What you are talking its called environmental decoupling. Studies suggest that is not possible to have absolute environmental decoupling globally.

Absolute decoupling is when emissions going down while we have economic growth, relative decoupling is when emissions diverge from economic growth. The last one os insufficient for mitigate climate change.

If I understood article correctly, author is doing ray marching, which also "stops the ray" at given distances, and then he reorients the ray. Very similar to your technique, altho here length of each ray leg is calculated differently

Tiktok styled video and culture. As fresh as it appears now in a few years it will feel dated.
I think it is all fine. People who seek personal and/or professional growth would learn new tech stacks and apply interesting ways. A lot of people who would rather stay on current stack and take technology as something that just pay bills is also good choice.

It is only the incessant talk that try to prove past/present choice of technology as "objectively better" seems unnecessary to me.

This also reminds when Sun certified Java developer was the way to hire Java developers. With so many people got this certificate, it became so bad that it was more likely that Sun certified developer would be worse as they put all effort in getting certificate and not really learning programing.

If you're curious, this is an informative video of a debate between the designer of TypeScript and the designer of the Dart VM about which was the better approach.

it probably deserves the comparison with Linux altogether as it's even more multi purpose and has become, at lead since v2.8, not only appealing to total geeks.

I can't think of any other open source software, other than Linux, that represents such a threat and valid alternative to commercial products. Autodesk be damned, even merging with Adobe wouldn't solve the Blender problem.
I've had exactly that problem and had to resort to searching other booksellers for the Penguin edition of something in the public domain.
This looks super promising. It's impressive how much has been built out already and I'm pumped to see where this goes.

I started writing flutter apps in their RC1, and since then up till last year (since then I haven't written flutter), flutter had scrolling frame drops on both iOS and Android (high and low end). It was unrelated to device, and happened always when using the listview builder. It may have been fixed now, but it was an issue for a long while. And it also plagued web (hummingbird then).
GDP is not a measure of happiness, it is a measure of revenue.

Also GDP is meaningless when each "domestic" sovereignty can externalize its costs to poorer nations. It would make much more sense to study some globally-determined quantities, considering the completely globalized economy we have engendered.
I am unsure if it tells more about any general attitude about "tools" or more about Broadway. Microphones are still not used in opera or classical music.
On behalf of English readers I plead that this German article be replaced with something else.
> If you equate smiling at someone, or just being generally courteous, with "emotional labor," you need to make an emergency appointment with your therapist.

This entire conversation started based on an example that smiling brought economic benefits, not that you should do it because of socializing benefits. Answering in economic terms only makes sense.
There's an additional advantage, which is that you have a straightforward eject path from app stores.

If Apple or Google decides to boot you off the store for whatever reason, you're not out of business, you can distribute as a PWA and never really notice.

For many LOB apps, discoverability via the app store isn't relevant at all.

My primary app distribution mechanism is a SMS message with a link to a PWA that installs to home screen. Works everywhere, on every platform, which is a huge advantage for my senior population users.
Now I just wish they would fix the search field so it would actually submit when I press return on my iPhone.

We have a SPARC IPX online (albeit firewalled from the Internet) doing production tasks for $reasons. It's been online since about 1992. The hard drive sounds like a metal grinder.

Living in the Bay Area and right atop a fault, I feel phantom shakes. I usually have my ham radio tuned to the local repeater and people start reporting real ones almost instantaneously. So I use that as indicator to calm myself.

Hasn’t affected my life but it’s always there in the back of my mind. I realised I’m also a lot more sensitive to them than anyone else I know. Almost all the major ones - including the one in Napa have woken me up, usually in cold sweat and heart palpitations.
It's too bad PCIe didn't define a firmware update mechanism, similar to how it defines Option ROMs. It would save manufacturers time and money if they didn't need bespoke firmware updaters.

Such a standard could define capabilities (firmware slots, online update, power cycle required, etc). The OS could handle it from that point.

I have wondered what would happen after we gain direct, easy and cheap interventional access to our neurochemistry -- dopamine, serotonin, adrenaline etc. That's where human wants and desires and their satiation regulated. This doesnt solve the problem of course because the next question becomes 'how cheap' and how is that to be paid for.
Yes, the feedstocks for petrochemicals are distilled as part of the refining process and different varieties will have different amounts of the various compounds that are distilled out.
I recently RMAd a Seagate Exos (their series designed for enterprise / data centers) recently and didn't have to run any tool or provide any details. I was using this one for my home NAS.

There may be a difference here between the consumer drives and the enterprise drives, or maybe they changed the system to not require it in any case now.

How is pointing out that you don't need the tools you hate and you can use the same kind of tools in the CLI as you would with any other framework missing the point?
How did they make the Confluence search be so horrible? I once searched a page title without noticing I was already at that page, and it couldn't find it. I literally copied the title in and it still didn't find it. truly an awesome (as in awe and fear inspiring) piece of software.
This was how the Tres Amigas Superstation was supposed to work.

Unfortunately, ERCOT decided they didn't want to be subject to the same regulations as the Eastern and Western interconnects, so the project collapsed.
Yeah this was my thought, too. I was using PowerDNS to do this sort of thing within a basic home environment. But I have no idea if it has the necessary features to keep a production environment happy. It was fun to play with.

I'm not Ukrainian, but I have Ukrainian friends that have told me both that I shouldn't say/spell "the Ukraine" and should spell their capital city "Kyiv" years ago, well before this current war (although after Crimea was taken), so I think that, at least for some Ukrainians, it was a thing before the current war.

On a related note, I signed up for an Amazon Store Card and without my permission, Amazon assigned it as the default payment method for every (~15) addresses on my account. I used the card by accident before I realized it.

I wonder how much they’ve made in finance charges from customers who were tricked into using this card this way.
A good example of this is the Author of the famously "bad line", "It was a dark and stormy night" was Edward Bulwer-Lytton, who was perhaps one of the most famous authors of his time, who also coined many very common expressions we use today.
Average number of interfaces/solution. If you only have 1 program, you have 1 interface (1 set of command-line arguments, 1 set of environment variables, 1 STDIN, 1 STDOUT). If you have 50 programs, you can have 50 interfaces. So, more interfaces, but.... more interfaces.

Composeability requires many different interfaces, but not every solution needs composeability.

Who wants to join me in doing this exact thing with dental records?

The market is so much higher, while there are fewer than living 10B customers today (including some pets),

a dental version supports all 109B people who have ever lived. PLUS THEIR PETS!

That is ALMOST 11x the potential market hence market cap!!!

I am having trouble thinking of the dental equivalent to Orb though, everything I come up with sounds too squicky or I am afraid Disney owns, like the TOOTH-FAERY. So I need a cofounder.
maybe we do have Einsteins today but since the problems are so deep and the fields so vast, it is hard for one man to truly stand out as dominating a whole field. Not to mention that so many more people have access to compete in the modern world compared to Einsteins world where only a subset of people from rich countries were being educated.

I don’t think Go channels really panned out well. However, I do think that Go’s thread model and scheduler have turned out great. I think channels could’ve made sense, but they wound up being both more complicated to use and less performant than I think was hoped for. However… channels aren’t a solution for iterators. They’re a solution for communicating between threads. Go, like C, simply doesn’t have anything geared towards solving the problem iterators solve. Superficially they can fulfill some similar needs, but personally I feel they’re both practically and philosophically not in tune with that use case, even though you can certainly make it work in some cases to surprisingly decent effect.

Now as for the rest. Generics don’t automatically make code slower. In fact, in some places, the practical effect should make code faster; for example, the sort package currently defeats escape analysis even though it shouldn’t, and a monomorphized version should not suffer that consequence. Also, obviously, the fact that it removes runtime dispatch will also lower overhead. I understand that.

However, generics DO have some consequences:

- Every part of the toolchain—the compiler, linters, etc.—needs to understand generics and handle them properly. This is a non-zero cost; generics-heavy code will have measurably slower compile times. Go compilation times are fast, and that’s a feature.

- Generics improve the ergonomics of certain patterns that are absolutely slower. It is totally possible for someone to write a “map” function today for every type they could ever want, but it’s not really practical, and since it forces you to just write the loop out anyway, it really begs the question why you would bother in most cases. With generics, it should be relatively easy, but without aggressive optimization, it will be less efficient than the simple For loop. The map call and closure would need to be inlined for the optimizer to be able to get back to the same point. Having to do this, again, will slow down compilation more.

Honestly, you’re right; it’s far from the end of the world. However, I am pessimistic because to me, it’s unclear the costs of generics will be outweighed by the benefits of generics, but once the cat is out of the bag, it’ll be hard to ever go back on it.

Personally, I believe there are other improvements that would’ve been more valuable to consider first, like, personally, sum types and basic pattern matching. Sum types feel like something that, while it would have costs, has a potential to benefit a wide variety of programs and make certain code less error prone in a way that I don’t expect generics to.
Sounds like Klipper but for cnc.

The scheme is a huge win on 3d printers even though it adds a component to the system (generally a bad thing all else being equal, but all else is not equal).

Even when you aren't talking about being stuck with some old proprietary and limited controller & firmware but can buy powerful new wide open controllers and load your own up to date open source firmware on them, it still ends up being even better to have the minimal klipper firmware on the controller and do all the real work on a host.
Exactly. For years now, I find stuff at Amazon by LEAVING the Amazon site and then searching Google for "OBJECTNAME Amazon". That circumvents most of Amazon's filters, revealing many more products like out-of-print versions of books that Amazon wants to hide or deprecate.
A problem with the provider that leads to an issue with the service is also an issue to thee service.

One of the standard textbooks on invertebrates is Giribet's Invertebrate Tree of Life. You order that book from Amazon and get spammed with bad Kabbalah books.

There's a bunch of 386s on the ISS. The main systems on the ISS are MDMs (multiplexer-demutiplexer) that communicate with "dumb" devices like sensors, actuators, and motors. The MDMs contain removable boards with a hardened 386, RAM, an EEPROM, and talk over a 1553 bus. Some MDMs live on the outside components of the station and some live inside. Astronauts can replace the CPU boards inside the MDMs if they burn out. The station has a few dozen MDMs each with four or more boards inside.

It's not about Western virtue signaling. I don't feel that this is directly offensive (others might disagree), but it's often intentionally used in this way.

It's more in line with inclusive language: it's about removing small jarring bits that hark back to gruesome history we'd like to leave in the past. Hearing "the Ukraine" is a bit jarring, because it makes me wary of other historical stereotypes that the speaker might have.
Damn this is sick! I'll bookmark this so I can mess around with this later!
No they didn't. They bombed mercenaries who were (genetically) Russian-after Russia confirmed they weren't official troops.
So the result is either really bad...or worse than that:

- if the circuit breakers kick in, you might end up with a huge nationwide blackout. Pretty hard to recover from that - but at least you will recover directly in the new grid.

- if they don't kick in, you get all the generators in Ukraine + Moldova struggling immensely, possibly breaking their encasings/bearings, a little less for Europe, since they would have more mass to resist this spike.

I'm sure it's a massive boost to their bottom line too. Once you get people on the site, and once they start putting together their order, odds are good they're not going to go elsewhere. The UX literally makes the sale for them.

(of course not every shopping cart converts to an order, and people still order things you don't have elsewhere, etc. But getting people on the site and engaged is half the battle, assuming you don't give them a reason to shop elsewhere.)

Freedom of speech. In the free world, you’re free to plan almost anything from planning grocery procurement to dreaming global thermonuclear war, given you DON’T PUT BAD STUFF IN ACTION. That’s where and how the line is drawn. There are dangerous extensions to the definition of action but that’s the theory.

Also if it’s not put it in action but rather discussed publicly, that’s just helping the society prepare and evolve.
in WW2, Germany used V2 missiles for indiscriminate bombing of cities (primarily London). I can imagine it would look like that, but worse - and having gone to a few museums that showed Blitzkrieg London, that was bad enough as it is.

The simplest way would be to find a couple of friends or family willing to travel with you, take a plane and check in your 8 suitcases (plus whatever your companions need) and hopefully that size dog can come in the passenger cabin with you.

If flying is the problem, I think the cruise to Europe is probably the best. Designed for comfort, impervious to icebergs, probably not as slow as passage on a cargo ship.

What's neutral about early dopters having paid far less for their cryptocurrency? That seems highly biased.
Even legit companies abuse that. Dymo's latest label printer models enforce DRM on the paper which is a shitty move on its own. But then what they did on Amazon was swap their model 450 printer to the new model 550 so they would keep all of the good reviews: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hwggIw2HQuQ
Look up Imposter Syndrome[0]. There are people who are scared of being described as 'winging it' or making it up as they go along. We are human after all, and minor blunders can be compensated by future meetings when you're on the ball. The trick is not to always be 'that person who makes blunders all the time'.

Also: During the pandemic when people were first introduced to Zoom calls, there were countless people blundering into meetings completely unprepared and it grew from there (they're all video conference experts now). Again, we are human.

While I have not read Jacek Dukaj (I’ll add to my list), I wonder if it’s less of not supposed to work vs had the option of indulging in less lucrative pursuits than even todays elite. Historically, wealth was largely land-driven and the elites did not work that land themselves. The historical “job” for the elites was war, which came in waves and left a lot of time for other things like poetry, philosophy and science. Todays upper middle classes are all wage workers with often longer and longer workweeks. Ideas like FIRE (financial independence retire early) are picking up steam, but are far from mainstream. This business of the parents combined with lack of tutoring or other one on one education has to be taking a negative effect on the quality of education.

> I don't understand first sentence; but based on second sentence, my interpretation of your key point is that you may have excellent technical or functional skills, but if your personality / behaviour / look don't fit, people may still find way to get rid of you.:

So if you get vocal (online) the security services get involved, its as simple as that, they will keep you busy, and so will other people, whether you like it or not, but not everyone gets to spot when the spooks are getting involved, which is partly their job ie to have deniability of their actions, but thats the way it is.

2nd point, spot on, correct.

The rest of your post is what you have experienced but you dont mention office/team politics, that also plays a part, plus customers who despite all the training are fixated on something else and wont accept a superior solutions until perhaps years later.

Some management are just as bad at conveying their needs as staff at the other end of the hierarchy. People dont always know what they want until its gone.

You can get buried under communication, effective communication is generally better, but everyone is different.

Everyone has a different opinion on the best approach.

To tie this in with current events this is exactly what makes the no-fly zone idea in Ukraine so dangerous. All of the things you have to do to establish a no-fly zone and take away the enemy's ability to fire into and effect your no-fly zone look the same as a prelude to an invasion or nuclear first strike. This is made worse by the fact that many of the weapons systems you would be using are dual use. Meaning they were designed to deliver conventional or nuclear weapons. It's a massive gamble that the actions won't be misinterpreted or used to justify moving up the escalation ladder.
