I think most jurists would agree that the Sedition Act is dead for all practical purposes. Most modern First Amendment jurisprudence only started being written after the Vietnam War, commencing with Brandenburg v.

I installed a digital detox app on my phone that is scheduled for 7pm to 5am every night. It only lets me use apps that I deem beneficial, and limits "scroll traps"

Also, I'm fortunate in that I can observe a Digital Sabbath every Saturday where I can turn off my phone and laptop all day and just sit in the hammock and read physical books. It's really hard with everyone in my house on their phones all the time, but I feel like spending one day a week without screens has really helped my ADHD the rest of the week.
I’ve found scripts online to help me change the committer on entire repos when I realized I had used the wrong config. Something like the answer here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2919878/git-rewrite-prev...

Then you have to force push.

Note, you will still have the same number of commits in the same order with the same diffs, but they will be new commit ids.

You’re “rewriting” your history. Which in the case you outline is perfectly fine. But note, anyone who’s pulled down the branches you’re changing will need to reset rather than pull your changes otherwise git will attempt to MERGE the new history with the old one.
I was a denizen of c.l.l deep into the Naggum era.

And, yes he could be abrasive. Notably he did not suffer idiots well.

But if you read many of the threads, you'll notice that the provocateur upon which Erik focused his attention, the majority of the time, is talking past what Erik was saying. Most of those threads are folks yelling past each other, rather than actually addressing the points being made (and most of the folks he was directing his attention too dumped the technical side of the, uh, "discussion", almost immediately). He didn't suffer those people well either.

My friends used to get into these spittle flying, lips shaking, table rattling lunch arguments at high volume. And whenever that happened, they were always talking (or, rather, shouting) past each other. And this happened face to face, 2 feet away from each other.

The internet just makes that dynamic all the worse.

I never had a bad interaction with Erik. He was always responsive and respectful to any communications I had. I wasn't close to him, but more than not enjoyed his commentary and his typically well thought out point of view (even if I didn't agree with it).

He certainly doesn't need someone like me to defend him, but I do miss him. I consider his loss a blow.

I had another friend, a closer friend, also an Erik. He had a caustic side to him as well, and we lost him just as the pandemic was starting. I miss him dearly as well.

Maybe it's the name.

> The best defense is a good offense, no?

Not exactly. E.g. your opponent offers a material sacrifice and gets a big attack if you accept. If you survive the attack, then you are ahead material because of the sacrifice, and you probably win. So it's about whether you can wriggle your way out of a lot of possible attacking lines. That's a bit different from attacking, which in these puzzles is usually about finding a single forcing line.

An Empirical Study of Obsolete Answers on Stack Overflow (2019)
One of the reasons why I favor nuclear is quite simple. And its not new technology. In fact, nuclear is the only green energy that ever has actually reliably powered an industrial nation.

France did it in 70/80 with technology not more advanced then what is available in the 60s.

They have not only proven that nuclear can do it, but also that nuclear scales amazingly well. There really is no technical question what so ever.

Any nation that wants to have a green grid could go to South Korea for example and if you tell them that you would like 20 or even 100 reactors and you are willing to pay, they would build you those reactors. Within 10 years you could likely finish 3-4 reactors a year.

Nuclear economics analysis shows that if you actually have a real industry with lots of people experienced in such plants, they become much, much cheaper and far more predictable on timeline.

Instead in the West every other nations has some unique plant design that they are only building once and its a totally new industrial project supported by an industry that barley exist anymore and had to shoestring since the 80s.

And we are no longer in the 70s, so unlike France with some small amount of effort we could actually avoid using 60s technology. Doing, and building modern plants (see Terrestrial Energy, Moltex Energy, ThorCon) would not only solve the Green energy problem. We could also eat up nuclear fuel waste and (hopefully) nuclear weapons material (as was done in the US with Soviet nukes). We could also produce far more medical isotopes and nuclear batteries for space exploration (and other uses).

We could also then use such plants to produce hydrogen (for chemical and industrial processes). Using highly efficient nuclear heat is a far better plan then electrolysis with renewables.

These modern plants would as be so much smaller that they could be produced in a factory that could likely produce 100s such reactors in a year, just like we can with airplanes or rockets. You transport them to the a prepared location and drop them into a big nuclear concrete reinforced hole and put a bit steel lid on top.

Nuclear is the lowest in land use, lowest in total resources mined, lowest in disruption to the environment and can be built pretty close to where people actually live, so its the lowest in required energy transmission as well. If you use modern nuclear its also doesn't use require water cooling anymore.

So, nuclear, even if you use shitty old nuclear would work and is proven to work. Using modern nuclear would improve on that 10-100x.

The only thing that prevented this from happening in the 70/80s is that coal was cheaper and the nuclear scare made politicians not interested in pushing it anyway. Today its totally clear that coal killed 100-1000x more people and we are actually willing to invest into clean energy.

Others are right to point out that this isn’t a problem with reactivity. But there’s an even more important correction here: React, perhaps in spite of its name, isn’t actually (fully) reactive. And while that’s sort of an academic nuance[1], it’s the underlying reason for implementing things like this.

At some point one has to ask about the coincidentality between the rise in “heresy” (since he calls it that way) and the rise of social media platforms and new technology in general.

It’s one thing to complain that it exists, and another to discuss the roots of the phenomenon and how to address it.

Yes, I am implying that the guys at Silicon Valley with all their non-evil intentions are a major part of the problem. That the incentives of making money off data collection somehow got aligned with creating mobs of think-alike people who suddenly felt empowered to just shut everyone out of their bubbles.

This is an incredibly useful viewpoint to apply to this essay.

As the person you are responding to, I also dismissed it as fallacy ridden bullshit written by someone who is upset that rich and/or conservative people are facing consequences for having odious beliefs and stating them publicly, but this lens of understanding their delusions is a better approach.

For me it works best to start a project in such a way that it is easy to get back to. Fully expecting and embracing getting bored and leaving it gathering dust for a while.

For this to work I have docs folder with a todo.txt, architecture.txt, questions.txt and features.txt. I push it early to a private gitlab repo and use a language like TypeScript that makes it easy to come back to and make changes without fear of braking things. It won't be the first time that I get excited (again) by something and can continue on an existing project.
That's one of the more depressing parts. Even the people I agree with never engage with the actual argument of their opponents. For example, I'm pro-choice. The people who are anti-choice believe that abortion is the murder of a child. The people who agree with me, however, never engage with that argument. They just point out ways in which the anti-choice people are sexist or otherwise hate women. Similarly, the anti-choice people refuse to engage in discussions about body autonomy. A similar pattern is reflected in almost every other contentious political issue. Factions don't argue with each other, they just talk at right angles as loudly as possible.
The grandparent explicitly asked why solar in the desert is not considered as a solution. Also, pointing out the actual flaws of a specific approach is not disinformation.
There is nothing statistical about this analysis. The core of statistics is uncertainty, and I see no reporting of it within this post. Further, no statistician worth their salt would ever be their own hype man; they would understand just how many times a “stunning result” was really just a logical error or explained by confounding factors.

Both the content and rhetoric in this post was disappointing enough for me to make an account just to say this.
Well, to take the analogy a step further, if you go out on the street and start pushing people around, and one of them pulls out a baseball bat and beats you to a pulp, should you really complain that they didn't just push back? Nope. You just had it coming, and if you are such a macho street-fighter you should accept you got owned that time.

Sure, if you were in a dojo practicing martial arts - an environment that is safe where engagement has clear rules and often a judge - then it's a fair point to make. So if you are in a very specific context that is intended and structured for open and fair debate (e.g. a debate club), that's a fair argument.

That begs the question of whether a university is such a place. Undoubtedly some of it is. But I do not think all of the university, all of the time, is. Just as going into a gym and doing a judo throw on someone in the middle of their yoga class is not right, even if the gym has judo classes.
> I hope we will, the problem currently is that this is not competitive compared to just burning natural gas.

[Citation required]

Grid-scale battery systems have fallen more than 70% since 2015.

Nuclear is one of the most expensive and keeps getting more expensive; it's not competing against natural gas. It's competing against wind and solar, the two cheapest forms of generation. Solar is dropping ~10% per year...
> A management that is not incentivized to reduce costs

This argument doesn't seem to me as if it's fundamental.

Politicians are at least in theory incentivized to reduce costs since citizens would rather not pay more taxes, and in theory a politician who enacts wasteful policies would not be elected.

On the flip side, companies are only incentivized to reduce the cost charged to consumers (or in this case, companies shipping freight) in the face of competition, and long-haul freight has a massive up-front investment cost of building out rails, so there won't ever really be that many choices. This is akin to the highway robbery ISPs can still charge, even though they are private companies and the moat of laying fiber isn't nearly as extreme as that of laying rail

> following the operating policies set by politicians coming first before reducing costs

Won't it be equally true that private and public corporations will have to follow laws? That seems identical.

> A great post on just a few of the silly policies is here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30978263

I'm trying to ask if there's a fundamental reason here, not a bag of anecdotes, and we were also talking about freight, not commuter trains, so that comment isn't particularly relevant to the comment tree you started about freight specifically.

It could be, but given how complex cat brains are, it probably isn't.

I've seen my cat attempt to plot a route into my home office (which is off limits to him) with his eyes. The last tricky bit is finding a way to get on top of the HVAC piping to jump off to the high (unglassed) window leading into my office. If he can solve that, he's in -- and he knows it.

The Wikipedia article implies a consensus on electrification and budgetary issues for Boston, but Alon Levy is a better source and I doubt anything major changed in that time frame (even if according to the wikipedia page first test runs are planned for 2023 on already electrified track). That's even worse, artificially pushing expected costs up for common sense things is ... something else.

Very glad germany has the opposite problem (Schönrechnen), where expected value is artificially kept high and expected costs low for politically wanted rail projects. It's also bad, but less so?
Yes, they should, and there’s good odds they will.
Well sure, they could want to stay out entirely because of data sovereignty concerns.

There are definitely lots of complains: the consequences on the economy, not able to travel, etc. On a personal level everyone is affected, but is the lockdown worth it? On a country level I think it's understandable. Shanghai is a city of 25m population and it has one of the best medical system in China, if COVID cannot be contained in Shanghai then it'll be a nightmare to spread to other cities, towns and villages, where basic medical care is still not readily available. Shanghai is also the economic and financial centre of China, locking it down definitely comes at a great cost to the country, so I don't think the government has made this decision lightly. If Omicron is really like a cold/flu then no it's not worth it, but do we know this for sure?
presumably because boeing has influence over government policy.
You will get through this. I'm sorry you're not getting the support you need, this can create a lot of stress.

You're making a lot of assumptions about your performance, since your manager is out who's filling in for them? Express your concerns to them and get a frank evaluation on your performance from their point of view. Don't spring this on them, but tell them what you wrote here and ask for feedback.

A couple of thoughts:

1. Nothing you've said sounds PIPable. Everyone makes mistakes, as roles grow the effect of those mistakes grows. Accidentally pushing to prod....really should have safe guards...I flipped a switch a few weeks ago, on a Friday, before leaving the office, and well now we lot of lessons learned. We all make mistakes.

2. Once you leave school you will get involved in projects/work that no one has done before. These take longer, and probably need more support. I think it's hard for those who have been working for a long time to remember what it was like to be a new grad.

3. New grads aren't hired for your ability to produce vast quantities of code/fix problems. Those are L5s....three levels above a new grad, and probably 10+ years later.

if you are not meeting the expectations of the people in your team, you better raise up and start meeting them.

keep in mind, once the trust in you from the team broken, it will be very hard to repair, and as a result your confidence will decrease and it will become even harder as you will start second guessing yourself.

to learn is to remake yourself, which requires patience, dedication and confidence that you can do it.

most of the answers in this thread are advising that 'its the team's fault', which it might very well be, but i advise you to do all you can to not lose confidence in yourself and keep pushing, every day, little by little you will get better.

Absolutely, I don't represent everyone. I'm sure there are people losing their income because they cannot go to work. The government - which has enforced the lockdown, should definitely do a better job in caring for the individuals who are the most affected, no doubt in that.
