> You are paid a fraction of the amount of money that your work actually generates

There are organizations that don't do this. They are called nonprofits. Why don't people just work for nonprofits all the time? Because they are less stable and there is less upward mobility. So there's something that is actually bought by this extractive capitalism, and we sign up for it when we sign up to work at for-profit companies.

It's hard to call it freeloading off of me, when I benefit from this arrangement.

Hmm, yeah. I wonder where I’ve heard that before.
I haven’t been super impressed with Typescript, to be honest. It’s fairly verbose, and it’s a gigantic language with a complex type system that still isn’t really type safe.

I’d lean towards either something dynamic and quicker to develop with, like Elixir, or else use Rust for the parts where stronger compiler guarantees are absolutely vital.

> I didn't get that from the above comment. They were just asking people to listen to the stories individually, and to consider that culture can influence the choices parents make. Parents' choices can be misguided, and as you say, they need guidance too.

I suppose I felt like it paints a fairly rosy picture of the "trouble teen" industry. "Resorts" with ski passes and mountain biking would seem to be the exception (and an extremely well heeled one at that) rather than the norm. I feel like in some ways the narratives that conservative "tough love" industries foist on parents is that their childrens emotions are unmanageable intrinsically rather than a relatively predictable outcome from parents who themselves were raised in a cycle of abusive and nullifying behavior.

That said there is a percentage of the bell curve of "troubled teens" who really did have a better than average upbringing in terms of getting physical and emotional needs met. The problem is that for many parents there's a self-perception that that number approaches 100%, when in fact its quite clear from the children's own experience that they were experiencing extreme levels of neglect. There's a vast gulf between the self perception of incompetent/traumatized parents and the actual needs of children, and I wanted to highlight that.
Well it depends on the course of human civilisation. If we wipe ourselves out in WWIII then we won't run out of coal. If we continue to grow exponentially then we will quickly run out of solar.
again the parent and my concern is that Japan is a whole new ball park in terms of earthquakes and none of the examples you cite here is relevant in addressing the seismological risks that is unique to Japan.

Just have a look at the historical earthquake diagram from the official Japanese Meteorlogical Agency and compare it to its neighbor, the difference is night and day and so is the obvious risks...
our ability to accurately predict student academic success at MIT 02 Our research shows this predictive validity holds even when you control for socioeconomic factors that correlate with testing. It also shows that good grades in high school do not themselves necessarily translate to academic success at MIT if you cannot account for testing. Of course, we can never be fully certain how any given applicant will do: we're predicting the development of people, not the movement of planets, and people always surprise you. However, our research does help us establish bands of confidence that hold true in the aggregate, while allowing us, as admissions officers, to exercise individual contextual discretion in each case. The word 'significantly' in this bullet point is accurate both statistically and idiomatically.is significantly improved by considering standardized testing — especially in mathematics — alongside other factors

So much for that common, popular notion that standardized tests do not predict anything of value.

Its success may change that, though: After recently hitting the front page of Hacker News and being featured on Daring Fireball, he said the site’s traffic went up 100x overnight, to about 100,000 homepage loads a day. (Those are all the analytics he has, because, again, simplicity.) Since then it’s dropped, but it’s still 10x what it was a few weeks ago. At some point, he might have to put an ad on the site.

a movie which only stars those specific leads is unlikely to end up with any awards

Movie, not individual actors. Movies with a cast of only this unfavoured identity class are unlikely to gain any awards.

The past is not now, my comment relates to the here and now ('is unlikely to', not 'was unlikely to'). The obsession with D.I.E [1] is a recent phenomenon.

There you are right, I don't. I do read quite a bit about it but I never watched any of those shows, it is just not my thing.

False? We're talking about the organisation which went full Soviet by proclaiming movies needed to abide to their D.I.E. rules to be considered for academy awards [2] as part of their D.I.E. plan [3]. Read [2] and report back on whether this is anything but virtue signalling.

I think it is a problem though when a game's revenue mostly comes from cosmetics, as it shifts the developer incentives away from "developing a game that lots of people want to buy and play" to "making the type of game that lends itself well to lots of cosmetic micro transactions". These are often pretty different types of games and it would be sad if the former were entirely replaced by the latter.

I grew up in western Germany. My SO in the GDR (eastern Germany) before the Iron Curtain fell.

Comparing my experience and hers (or her family's) gave me an interesting view of freedom. Namely that I think there isn't one freedom. Not in the universal sense.

For example. In the GDR it was a bad idea to critique the state/government/socialism. But I know quite a few cases of people telling their boss he was an asshole. Without any consequences.

Compared to Western Germany. We could call our politicians names, critique our government, call democracy an idiotic for of representation but tell g our corporate bosses they were idiots could destroy your life.

Just an extreme example of what I mean with different forms of freedom.

In the end I think it always comes down to a society needing to decide where to limit the freedoms of their people to ensure as much freedom as possible for all members of society. And future generations.

Our constitutional court for example declared the climate change efforts of our former government not sufficient to ensure freedom of future generations as doing nothing (or too little too late) now would burden future generations to an extent that is not in line with our constitution. Limiting our freedom right now (taxes, limits to how fast to drive, and so on) to ensure freedom for yet unborn.

In Rust, it's because most projects follow the default layout, and so is less needed.

We have a custom build system on top of Cargo, and so things are a bit weird for a normal Rust project, and so it's extra important.
You are actually explicitly using weasel words.

You've made a really strong claim that they have an "incredibly high false positive rate".

Then you've just thrown "I sense" in front of it all to make it okay that you're basing that on zero evidence.

If you think they've got an "incredibly" high false positive rate you should go do the work to have some kind of factual evidence to base that on.

You have to build solar panels and wind turbines. Then have connecting service roads able to carry heavy equipment. Wash the panels frequently or watch their performance plummet. Grease moving parts to avoid friction losses. Maintain the rotor blades at the cost of significant downtimes. Replace everything after 20 years as that is their average lifespan. Deal with all poorly recyclable waste you have created. Overbuild all transmission lines by a wide margin, to compensate for the low density and intermittent nature of wind and solar. Accept that what could have been truly space reserved for wild nature is now used for low density energy farming. I really don't see how wind and solar are renewable in the true sense of the word. From an ecological perspective the point should be to use our resources efficiently so as to return large swaths of land to pristine nature. Currently you can do this two ways: one use high density technologies like nuclear, the other is to go extinct voluntarily. My choice was made after becoming a parent.
I agree with the premise, although I disagree that only Google could do this. Honestly there are a low number, but greater than one, entities that could do this. Microsoft is an obvious one, for instance.

That said, to your bigger point -- I think the way to pull off a brand new OS in today's world is to write something that scratches an itch that a small-ish group of people have. Do it well enough, and it will grow into something bigger. In fact this is exactly how Linux got going. It will work again, guaranteed.

This is a great idea. I think you could call something like this “metering.” I don’t think technology can solve externalization but it could at least measure externalized costs, and let the government/other organizations decide what to do with it.

The problem is the business model. If it’s paid for by businesses due to regulation it’s incentivized to undercount and be shitty. If it’s paid for by government then it’s going to be somewhat winner-take-all and you have to go through their procurement. Either way it could be very innovative and cool but due to the business requirements it’d likely end up very enterprisey and crappy
"unlimited"? no it will just be limited by the next thing. At current rates we are what 400 years out from using all the energy that reaches earth from the Sun.

I definitely would argue we need improved nuclear power even if just for improving space exploration, but we also need to accept that our whole current way of thinking with regards to growth is doomed and we cannot just innovate our way out of it without at least changing the rules.
The 2019 bug refers to a bug in an explicitly experimental area of SSH code (post-quantum crypto XMSS)

most of the other server-side bugs on the list relate to non-standard configs (of varying obscurity)

the fact that - in an era of increasingly hostile cyber threats - years had gone by without any serious threats says it all really.

for most people, they should just run normal SSH, enable public-key only authentication and get on with their lives.

I see no reason why anyone should jump ship to some shiny new untested ssh server. Especially as , when others have pointed out, the people behind OpenSSH are the same people behind OpenBSd and LibreSSL.

Projecting. This is projecting.

My goal post is us not choking on our own filth. We are in a closed system. Any bullshit that moves pollution around in time or location doesn’t fix anything, and because of the laws of thermodynamics there are only very narrow envelopes where doing something is globally better than doing nothing. Cooling a house heats the planet more than the house cools.

We can’t be celebrating systems that don’t move us toward 50% of our current budget. And some solutions that move you a quarter of the way there but then get you stuck at that point are a form of bargaining. In the end you have to let those go and he longer you delude yourself the worse things are.

We need less driving and fewer roads. Fuel efficiency and road efficiency actually increase demand. We’ve seen this, it is known.
> Someone needs to solve online identity and reputation (in a privacy-preserving way) so that you can accumulate trust on one site/service and carry that over to another.

The problem is that most of the existing ways of transferring reputation (or the appearance of it) between contexts result in opportunities for arbitrage: celebrity endorsements, scientists supporting theories outside of their field, con artists leveraging social proof escalation, phishing, etc.

We've seen some of the strictest mechanisms of reputational transference leveraged for illicit purposes:

Everything that makes reputation and trust transfers useful and convenient for users creates a huge attractive nuisance for illicit actors, from state level APTs on down to 419 scammers and everyone in between.
Yes - I see other posters trying to spin the article to make it only an argument against "old" RPC solutions (CORBA I guess?). This seems to be an attempt to leave an escape hatch for their pet RPC solutions that happen to be more modern.

When I first joined my workplace, some of the resident engineers were overly disposed to cargo culting google practices. I had a robotics application that just screamed for using something like ROS, but I was encouraged to use gRPC to underpin these microservices. I was inexperienced enough to assume they knew something I didn't, but I kept scratching my head trying to figure out why this was supposed to be better than a simple pub-sub system. It felt like a huge impedance mismatch with what was actually happening at the message level. When I asked myself whether I could use gRPC in a simpler, pub-sub-like mode, I instead found a bunch of janky projects where people were trying to build pub-sub on TOP of gRPC (?!) It wasn't until later when some of the cargo-culters left and new folks with a robotics background joined the company that I realized I had been right all along.

Reading this article was cathartic because it expressed a truth I didn't know I was allowed to think - I don't _want_ a procedure-like interface! It is simultaneously simpler and more correct to think in terms of message-oriented IPC. RPC seems to be about letting people think in a lazy away about how their distributed application works... but you inevitably end up saddling them with a long tail of things that were brushed under the rug.

They were designed to be party games first and foremost though. I think it's different when you take a more serious game and try to layer wackiness on top. If nothing else, there's a huge difference in player expectations.

Anyway that's why I also used SC2 as an example. Blizzard's attempts to add more wackiness/variety to the 1v1 ladder maps have generally been poorly received.

Now, SC2's co-op mode has a bunch of wackiness and did great, but note that this is very VERY separate from standard ladder/melee games. It's not just "oh we changed a few rules" or "we took the base game and added wacky items" it's a much more fundamental rework than that, it's an entirely new 'vertical' for the game. And yeah, that kind of thing could probably work for a game like Rocket League.
In my lifetime, I have seen the quality of western regulation and institutions consistently decline. Particularly the more money enters into a given industry. It's one of the reasons I'm skeptical of nuclear power.
Nobody is arguing against nuclear power but that it's shortsighted that a uniquely seismologically active and volatile region would be the champions for it, especially in a country that takes extreme measures to safety (largely result of frequent earthquakes).

No silver bullets! Though some have less lead in them. OpenSSH, along with other software developed by OpenBSD, has earned the highest level of trust in something written in C. C can be dangerous, but there is a chasm between such careful works and the typical offenders like OpenSSL (OpenBSD's alternative is LibreSSL, confusingly).

> Actual scientists and competent tech people have driven the costs of solar and wind power, as well as storage, down by several orders of magnitude

Yet have been incapable of offering a way to power my oven on a cold windless night without burning something.

Virtually all solar and wind installation are accompanied by a thermal power plant (usually gas) that's supposed to takeover when renewable can't be trusted. Yet the eco crowd refuses to factor in the cost of these - otherwise completely useless - backup power plants in the cost of their magical solution. They also conveniently refuse to look at the CO2 produced when using those.

In short, renewables are cheap (if you forget that you also have to create a full backup system) and produce no CO2 (if you forget to measure what's produced by the backup system). Selective memory at it's finest.

Yes, I know, batteries are coming. There is a new breakthrough that will made this practical every 5 year. We have been hearing that same song for the past 4 decades. In reality, energy storage is quite close to optimal. There are some improvements made here and there, but nothing that will be a game changer: if it does not work now (it doesn't), it probably won't in a near future.

Most language type systems can say AND but relatively few can say OR. For example, Java can say a `Point` has an `x` AND a `y`:

class Point { public int x; public int y; }

...but it can't say a `Point` has _either_ `x` and `y` OR `r` and `theta`. You can simulate it with two classes and a base class/interface but that implies there might be _other_ ways of defining a point... which there really aren't. The Haskell point would be:

data Point = Cartesian { x :: Double, y :: Double } |
Polar { r :: Double, theta :: Double }
