With renewables it's more fixed capital instead of a direct supply of literal energy in the form of fuel. That's less of an immediate dependency than it is with oil. Capital does depreciate over time, but ebbs and flows of international prices offer more room for short-term elasticity in demand (people can delay upgrading or replacing equipment). It's also got lower barriers to entry so dependency can be a policy choice (reversible in the medium term) rather than a simple fact of geology the way fossil fuel dependency is.

A good point. And I think the reason this article is so fraught is that the writer is basically arguing even that if you met all of their demands and tried to make the world a better place, they will fundamentally remain hostile to you.
Some people have a trust-based relationship with science, where they analyze the evidence and Develop that trust. Maybe a better word in this circumstance would be "evidence-based"

I'm sure there are others with a faith-based relationship to science.
Not sure if eBay still does it, but they also let sellers recycle old listings' reviews for different products on new listings. I experienced that at least once with a return.
I wasn't 100% sure enough about React to be sure, but based on my limited experience, that sounds correct, so I don't think it fits my example.

I'm looking more at things like the Django template library, handlebars, Go HTML templates, etc. etc. And most especially things written with the idea that code shouldn't be in templates. Template languages that were always capable of running code, and were simply separate languages so designers don't have to learn a general-purpose programming language but can learn just this focused thing they need are obviously not what I mean.

I've drunk from the "templates shouldn't have logic in them" well too, but I think as you scale up it just becomes impractical. And in that case, you're better off with a template that always knew it was going to have code in rather than a template language that was designed from the beginning to not have it, but had code sneak in through the back door anyhow. The first one will at least be designed. The second one... well....
> Programming is often a rarer and more difficult skill to hire.

The problem is, the employer is probably wrong (they did not do the correct requirement analysis on this), and actually don't want a "just a Programmer", they want a "Requirement Analyst"/"Functional Analyst"/"Design Analyst", and those are the rarer and more difficult skill to develop and find at all.
I'm an older guy Chris and I'm guessing you are in your 20/30s? I was just musing today how my home networking hobby shaped my work life. I'm sure the journey you have been on will shape your life too. Keep doing the stuff :-)
IMO, command-tab and command-tilde are vastly superior to the Windows method. It's less relevant these days due to applications running their own tabs inside of the app. I fought this for years but eventually gave up because you really have to use tabs these days. Many applications have wasted space for a tab bar even if you refuse to use tabs. But I liked being able to switch through windows in a given application vs switching applications entirely.

I still feel that tabs-everywhere is making up for a broken window manager. Why should we offload this to each application?
Fortunately, depending on your perspective, 20 years is plenty of time to not only switch to renewable energy but also to bring back the manufacturing jobs that make the components for renewable energy.

But good luck (literally) selling that to American companies who have to pay those factory salaries.
Budgets are set by costs. When you run a business, you care about the “fully burdened” cost of each employee, and you hire as many as you can within your budget. One of the line items in that is my half of the payroll tax. Another line item is health insurance. Another may be an offset for office space and equipment.

Whether my fully burdened cost budget has a line item for health insurance being paid to a 3rd party or to the employee is totally irrelevant. Tax law currently happens to make it much more efficient for me to pay that money to a 3rd party, so that’s where it goes.

The reason I have that line item is due to a combination of market forces and regulation. By no means do I get to choose just not to pay it, if I expect employees to keep working for me, or the government not to shut me down.
ghostwriter does seem to repeat all of the well known Kremlin talk points. If anyone is unsure what Putinist propaganda specifically is like just read through his messages in this discussion, he is iterating on the familiar themes. Whataboutism, denying Ukrainian statehood, etc.

> The conventional approach to writing audio software is an challenging process requiring expertise in a wide breadth of topics– C++, multi-threading and thread safety, lock-free programming, and realtime thread safety come to quickly to mind, and we haven't even mentioned digital signal processing itself. Moreover, the tooling, workflow, and developer experience that we have in this approach pales in comparison to that of the web software industry, for example. All together, the reality of these complications is that the conventional approach for writing audio software is difficult and time consuming. We believe it doesn't have to be that way.

This is then followed by a screenshot of some code that looks like a SuperCollider script from 15 years ago.

There are at least a dozen audio "scripting" languages that free someone from all the issues mentioned above. Many have been mentioned in the thread already. The only things that Elementary Audio appears to have in its favor are that it leverages JS and it runs in the browser (sort of).

For some people, those two alone will be interesting. Have at it, people!

But for people who write plugins designed to run inside DAWs, or modules inside Rack, and in particular for the people who write DAWs or Rack (or Rack-like things), this is of approximately zero interest. It's a web-centric version of SuperCollider, which is cool but ultimately so bounded by the limitations of the platform that for many things, SuperCollider or something similar remains more powerful and more flexible.
Right, but then it starts a meta-conversation about why the article got posted, or even written. It doesn't have the down-the-rabbit hole trait of an individual project of passion, or the sort of authoritative voice of a conference talk or even a Netflix blog post, it doesn't really speak to specific actionable technologies so it's not the kind of onboarding a Toward Data Science post would be. And that meta conversation inevitably leads to, oh, it's a marketing funnel. So just saying "this is content marketing" I think is a shibboleth for the entire conversation that starts with "pretty shallow and non-descript".

Of course I didn't write the original comment and there's something to say for flag-and-move-on or whatever, and other people did enjoy it. I'm just saying I understand the impulse to short-circuit the entire tedious conversation!
As someone who just rode in a sleeper car for the second time. I like amtrak when I can do this. It's completely unreasonable for a round trip, but I did Chicago->Seattle and Chicago to Boston (Where I"m currently here.. and will be flying back tomorrow).

It's a mostly great experience... all due to the scenery you're watching, not so much everything else.

What worries me if it becomes more privatized: You'll see the experience drop a lot more, features you need for long distance trips (big seat+power outlet) removed. You'll get a lot more stressed employees who will create conflicts etc.

What I would like to see:

- More prioritization on autonomous cars

- More frequent routes

- Infrastructure improvements for faster service (We could and should have a hub/spoke model for ICE like passenger rail)

- Support with integration into the communities they connect into. (Build the town around it) Create a standard that local rental car companies are working with the passengers arriving and leaving.

- General equipment refreshes (A lot of it is maintenance by schedule rather than reactory.. a lot of the experience is pretty dirty) Also there is an attitude with the coach passengers that the train is a trashcan because it's already pretty dirty. Being in coach is freaking brutal if you have to be on it more than 9 hours or overnight.

Btw Their employees are a lot more helpful about being functionally helpful when something goes wrong. Airline employees just escalate and pull the "screw you, you won't get help" when something goes wrong in person. (Yea I'm looking at you IAH gate agent that just left the desk right before boarding.. the captain was playing secretary). No the empire builder doesn't have WIFI.. but how will dinner work.. they're more than helpful at explaining it, etc.
This is also true for people cleaning house or going minimal. Put it in a well labeled box and tuck it away somewhere. If it matters then you'll fetch it, otherwise just chuck it when the box gets in the way.

It was a lot more than that. They developed systems and techniques that even Amazon adopted and are still adopting to this day. They also created a ton of open source tools for other people to use the cloud:

Is the implication that conservatives supported NAFTA because it would reduce poverty around the world?

It's probably better to assess peoples motivations as they were at the time, not by what happened. A liberal would say they were focusing on the needs of the citizens of their own country and the problem in front of them. In any case, making this a case of liberals vs conservatives is silly, and to my view reductive.

As a citizen of a democracy you have power. Don't abdicate your responsibility, and thus your power, because it's easier to trust someone else handle it.
Except it's end of life so you should probably switch to Rectangle (which the author mentions in the article explicitly)
I've never worked as a programmer, despite 30+ years of programming experience.

Based on my observations, biased due to my specific niche, most people who program just ... well ... shouldn't. If there were doctors practicing medicine as bad as some people who call themselves programmers program, then we'd have riots!

Really curious, what counts as "programming knowledge"?

Getting a gig below your skill level to give you extra income and/or more time?
After burning myself out in the 2000s working 60-80 hour weeks and spending another 40 learning new skills, I took a different approach in the 2010s. Instead of going after a position I was qualified for, I took multiple positions below my pay-grade. It worked out great. I made more money, had less responsibility, and the companies I worked for were ecstatic to have someone with my skillset on their payroll. It was great and I'd definitely recommend it to anyone that is at the top of their field and good with time-management. There are caveats and it's not for everyone, but there are enough pros that it warrants consideration.

A few years ago I got an offer I couldn't refuse and gave it up for my current position that was effectively tailor-made for me. It's reward work and I get to solve a lot of problems ranging from ideation and design to development to productization, and everything in-between. Once I took the position, I got more comfortable talking to people about the way I worked through the previous decade and found that there were a lot more people that did the same thing, but only got comfortable talking about it when they moved on.

I find myself in a position with my current company where I am essential and effective, but I have a considerable amount of time to either pursue my own thing again or help out a smaller company in the way I used to.

Which brings me to my question. It was a hustle when I started working that way and with the number of people I've spoken with who had done the same, I can't help but wonder if there's a service or community of people looking to do the same.

Really just looking to start an open discussion around the topic.
Just look at all the crazy federal spending proposals from Biden that Manchin had to block.

Yes. As someone with a chronic health condition living in America, I agree completely.

Leaders of this country really do not care about the healthcare of its citizens (just look how long people with diabetes have been screwed, how long people have been able to lose literally everything over medical debt, etc.), I can’t imagine leaving things to the individual would be helpful in any manner whatsoever.

I am a lawyer, working in finance. So, really nothing to do with tech. I have an interest in programming and other hacker-y topics which is why I'm here.

I kind of ended up in my career at random. When I first decided to go into law I never thought I would end up working in finance. I like my job (most of the time) but I have often wondered why I didn't go into software development instead. One reason, I think, is that it's easier to do programming as a hobby than law, so this way I get to explore two very distinct disciplines.
>>> It is the fourteenth edition of the ECMAScript Language Specification

Fine, then sed s/version/edition/g

From the point of view of a maintainer that makes sense, but for the users each annual edition or feature moving into stage 4 its own spec version, and unless the feature is absolutely groundbreaking, thinking in terms of annual editions makes it possible for users to grab various tools with confidence that things will work together smoothly.

Look at how Mozilla interacts with the spec [1]. They're not thinking in terms of the nightly version of the spec. They're looking at the annualized editions and making sure they support them as fully as possible. And then they communicate that support to their own users in terms of that annualized edition.

V8 consumes from nightly and using the up-to-date test suites and they explain their reasoning here[2], but notably they're still conceptualizing things to their users through the lens of annualized editions even though they're still grabbing features when they're only at stage 3. They even tag blog posts about js with tags for the annualized editions that added the feature: [3].

As a user of the users of the spec, the annualized editions are super super helpful. I can only use features that have actually been implemented. And I have to make sure that each tool I use is only getting code that uses features it's implemented. Can you imagine if every tool had feature-by-feature implementation matrices? "OK, ESlint understands new features A, B and D, but babel only implements B, C, and D, but library X doesn't support feature D yet, so since we want to use that we have to use bluebird instead of the native feature D for now" and on an on. It'd be madness, and we'd end up picking a handful of tools we like enough and then transpiling everything to es5 because our own users don't actually care if we transpiled down to es5 or shaved enough yaks that we realized that our toolchain natively supports featurs B but everything else must be transpiled out or replacing the native implementations with our our in code implementation. Instead each tool picks an annualized edition and while slower tool release cycles be annoying, I can actually turn that guarantee of standardized features into a toolchain with transpilation steps as necessary, which means as a dev I know i can safely use any feature in that annualized edition without worrying if this feature i haven't really used before is going to blow up somewhere in my toolchain because the implementer hasn't gotten around to implementing that feature yet.

So while I like looking at the draft proposals and consider it important to know how the language is evolving, I have to wait for implementations to permeate enough of my tools before I can use the shiny new feature, which means annualized editions of the spec.

App bundles are neat, but when given the option of "an app directory on top of a traditional Unix filesystem layout" or "everything is packages", I'll tend to choose the latter. It might just be an impasse situation; I think the ideas of package management are developed about as far as they can go, even newcomers like Flatpak can't really bring anything new to the table. The only package manager that's impressed me in recent years is Nix. I think if most developers decided to throw their weight behind Nix packages, we could live in the "it just works" utopia that Linux and Mac developers alike have been dreaming of for years.

Goes on racist rants while on livestream, publishes creepy AF posts about dating, women and sex. Ah, yes. A human. Just like the rest of us.
> Would you not accept that African-Americans might be victims of circumstances?

I don't introduce new standards for them. If you want to mitigate racism, hold them accountable for their actions and don't act like people with a different skin tone can take no responsibility.
They probably would. I've had a lot of jobs that heavily emphasize how much is paid for benefits, and often it's used as justification for why raises weren't offered that year. These places would probably be happy to give everyone a raise and do away with the frustration with medical benefits, especially plans whose cost go up like 20% a year.

There are a lot of jobs which do not offer benefits, or benefits are offered with no part paid by the employer. These places would not offer raises, but these people would end up with better choices of private plans.

Benefits are a huge burden for companies, especially smaller ones. Coordinating benefits is a seasonal full-time job that someone has to do. I've known of a few smaller family businesses that gave everyone a raise, and told them to get their own health care coverage on healthcare.gov.
The ratio is not a percent. For example, 1/100 = 0.01 = 1% - i.e. NOT 0.01%
So you would get 0.019385144% speed of light in your calculation.
My advice is never negotiate salary like this with a current employer. Always just leave, always on good terms. Let's say you leave for 15% raise and the new company sucks? Give it a year or two. Your previous employer will probably hire you back for a 10%+ premium above your new job that you hate.
Taken another way, mentors are basically evaluating and selecting for individuals who are worthy of their time and attention. Granted, they have to, because time and attention are limited.

But what I take issue with, is exactly the romanticization of mentorship in movies and self-help books that we see way too often. Mentorship basically does not exist for those in the bottom. As with everything else, "the rich only get richer". / end of another rant
I get that portability makes sense if you're shipping a software but how many different uncontrollable environments are you going to face? It's usually only a few environments that's under your control.

> VS code doesn't let you sync configs

I thought it's just a JSON file.

> It's a blazing fast

This depends, if you make your vim full blown to match the feature (which is probably not even possible), vim tends to start up pretty slowly.

Vim key bindings are pretty much available on most editors out there.

And you'll be losing so much from the vast list of plugins available in vs code.

You can't autocomplete table names in SQL strings like in JetBrains, I've quit using vim 15 years ago as my programming editor.
“Follow the money…”
True. If you're self-employed, your health insurance premiums are personally tax deductible. If you're not and you make up to 400% of the federal poverty level, the government subsidizes marketplace plans for you similar to an employer. It's not just the self-employed that buy their own insurance, but all the millions of hourly employees that aren't offered healthcare benefits through their employer(s) either.
I will quote it to you from the sacred ancient texts:

Cutting back money supply growth will slow down economic activity and raise unemployment because it makes capital less available. That will happen instantly, because tightening the availability of capital is central bank's one and only lever to influence the money supply. Delayed, on the other hand, is the response of prices and interest rates, which will only stabilize when people are confident that the money supply is going to stop increasing as fast. That means there will be a tough period after the fix is implemented, before things improve.

That creates a problem where democratic governments are stuck trying to get their economies to "take their medicine," dooming the metrics (and real people's prosperity) for their term so that the other politician who replaces them can claim credit. That's not likely to happen, so we get long inflationary periods that continue until it gets so bad that people demand the tough solution and are willing to stomach it. The OP blames "populism" because a democratic society cannot do such a thing until the people agree, while a society controlled by elites could force-feed the public their "medicine" and still be in power to enjoy the benefits when it was over.

Having only a few, highly entrenched and powerful people control the central bank lengthens the time horizons over which it can average the results of its decisions, but that is not the only way to get inflation under control. The other route is to shorten the time between the institution of the austere policy and the time when people believe it is there to stay. Milton Friedman famously proposed a constitutional amendment, but there are other ways to make it difficult for Congress to change direction.
