>many synthetic fuel companies that are blocked on the problem of carbon capture

No one is 'blocked' by carbon capture. There is ample 'low hanging fruit' CO2 emissions from e.g. breweries that are clean and don't require significant separation or cleanup. Also most if not all commercially sold CO2[0] for sale is a byproduct of other industrial processes[1], so its utilization in a synfuel would be carbon-neutral.

Even at a realistic cost of $1000/tonne air captured CO2 that is "only" approx $10/gallon of gas surcharge (9kg CO2 per gallon gas). Call it a hunch but I would imagine that there are enough wealthy and climate conscious Californians that'd buy 20-25$/gal carbon-captured gasoline judging by the number of Toyota Mirai's I see around.

[0]nominally 50-100$/tonne

[1]Haber-Bosch, for instance, will continue to emit fairly clean CO2 as a byproduct fertilizer production for the foreseeable future (until green electricity becomes cheaper than natural gas by Btu).
There is no discussion of quality. The claim is nakedly that React isn’t at the top tier and it owes its success entirely to marketing and not at all to quality. Developers have been drinking koolaid for years.

Show me where they said otherwise and I’ll walk back my tone; I don’t expect to
Nah, it's kind of a hands-on gig.
A job for a job's sake is worse than just giving the money as part of social security or something.

The such a job being done must create value, or it just becomes punishment for being unemployed!
This site's dark mode is kinda interesting. Definitely impractical though.
The interview with Google is a pretty harrowing test.
There’s still people making a lot of money in your industry. With your resume you should have an in somehow. I’d try that.
Yeah I really want to like Julia but for all the reasons you mentioned I’ll just use python. Also python is making a ton of improvements and looks better by the day
I was a kid who learned enough music to be barely good enough to do music at church... Now a few decades later I'm learning the drums using Rock Band [0] (and similar, I have almost a complete collection); the video game using a "toy" drumkit on a 10 year old console. Back in the day I read that a motivation behind the drums implementation of the game was that if you can play the song in the game, you can play in real life. [1] It's perfect for doing in small doses and providing good motivation,and so I've reached the point now that I'm good enough now that I am buying a proper e-drumkit. Yes, guaranteed I will pick up some terrible habits, but I've always failed to learn things when the barriers to achieving each goal aren't as simple as possible, and I'll take some proper lessons later on.

Now... how's this relevant to OP? Well, the 'music notation' it uses is best explained via analogy to a road, imagine you are standing on a bridge looking up a highway. There are 4 lanes, each lane representing a drum, and coming towards you at a constant pace are symbols (gems) representing the hits (and bars across the whole road for the kick). There are horizontal markings for the bars as well. Song plays, hit the notes correctly and you'll hear them in the song. Get them wrong and you'll hear a clanging and the drums drop out of the song. Then you get feedback at the end of the song.

Just search YouTube for "rock band drums" or "guitar hero drums", and you'll quickly get the gist.

Now this "notation" can be via the application of some simple steps turned into the real thing. These don't necessarily have to be in order either, perhaps some different sequence is better to make the jump.

1. Rotate the 'highway' sideways, remove the perspective distortion, and it looks like a regular music staff

2. Scroll it at first... but then swap to stationary with a moving playhead

3. Remove the playhead so the player has to keep their place.

4. Make the changes to turn it into proper notation [3], but keep the colouring.

5. Get rid of the colour altogether and you're left with regular notation.

Now referring back to [1] again, this is the same idea covered there. A project idea I've had floating around is to actually implement the above steps in a game/app on a device that can take MIDI input and use the same charts format that the amazing CloneHero [4] developed.

And for regular tonal notation rather than percussive? While I haven't looked into it much... Rock Band 3 has the "ProKeys" mode which is meant to do the same thing with a 2-octave keyboard, and perhaps the same concept could be applied [5].

Worth being aware of the UCSF trial [1] that did not find that intermittent fasting (16 hour fast / 8 hours to eat) reduced weight. A bit concerningly, they did find that there was significantly reduced lean mass in the intermittent fasting group compared to the control group (a small but statistically significant effect).

For those who didn't read the article:

"Google confirmed to Esper that this restriction was designed to not affect apps installed from app stores, both preloaded (like Google Play) or sideloaded (like F-Droid). This is because the company does not want to restrict accessibility API access for all apps that are sideloaded — they just want to restrict access for apps that came from less legitimate sources."
This sounds at least to me an awful lot like disordered eating. If it works for your, fine, but anyone else reading this should take caution and consult a physician before attempting anything like this. I'm worried that some of the tech trends around intermittent fasting are starting to sound like dieting advice form teen magazines in the late 90s and early 00s.
nobody significant uses it in linux and cloud space nowadays

any programming language can system programming as well if you go by that definition, python, lua, javascript

>Most of the economy is informal, it's estimated to exceed 60% of their economy.

Highly doubt it, would like to see a source for that.

Edit: Found it, 40% [1], I'm honestly surprised, that's waaaay higher than I thought it'd be.

That makes sense when the client is always a known quantity, but such is not the case with the web. While you can get an idea of what the majority of your target audience is running, there's always going to be some percentage that will be left out when writing client code for the majority browser only. There's always going to be client situations that you can't predict much less write for, and in those cases more server-heavy solutions tend to do better.
I don't know if either fit you "simple" definition, but NomadList and RemoteOk (both built and run by Pieter Levels) are the first to come to my mind. Neither one is a static blog but both started VERY simply: NomadList was a Google Sheet with a list of cities, Remote OK was job board that scraped other boards for Remote job posts and posted on the site plus allowed users to post their own job posts for fee.

Also, JustFuckingDoIt was "profitable" when it was launched. Probably not the level of profitability one would brag about, but definitely made money.

THese are the first three that pop into my head because I was just writing about Pieter Levels, but there are others.
What do you mean removed internet?
Honestly, if I somehow knew that the candidate cheated on their partner, then yes, I would reject them. I doubt I will ever find myself in that position.

I did have a coworker cheat on their spouse. I certainly lost respect for them, avoided working with them whenever possible, and cut off the non-professional aspect of our relationship.

Nice rant. But the headline leaves out a lot of detail that is in the article, which negates your rant.
They ABA doesn’t “endorse” any appointees. They rate them, and Kavanaugh, Gorsuch, and Barrett all received ratings of “well qualified” which is the ABA’s highest rating.

These three were completely obvious Republican picks a decade ago when I was in law school. Gorsuch and Kavanaugh were so-called “feeder” judges on the courts of appeals, meaning they were well regarded and sent many of their clerks to clerk on the Supreme Court. (Just like RBG and Breyer and Garland). And Barrett was a star law professor.
> The fact of the matter is, a minimum wage does not lift people out of poverty - it removes rungs from the bottom half of the ladder.

The “fact of the matter” is that despite decades of study, economists have come up with countless studies indicating both that minimum wages help and harm people in poverty. There is no definitive study one way or the other.
Tailscale today announced $100M in funding. This feels like what it takes these days, which is terrifying to me. I have no idea what runway that buys but my gods, it is just so epically hard & society has so so so little safety net & support for doing good things, making things happen.

Even basic plans like Build Back Better childcare get wrecked... by Democrats. You're so right but it feels so hopeless & bleak & impossible to try to do good & live at the same time.

So you support leaking Supreme Court draft opinions and prefer leakers not be caught?

You realize the consequences of legitimizing this for the rule of law, right? If the law is only respected and observed when it agrees with one political platform, it's no law at all.
>Why would I volunteer to take on a crummy or particularly hard task when I can
just hope someone else does it and I reap the rewards?

When you are on a team that is committed to the success of a project or a real thing in the world, rather than hoping for a bonus, you help everyone on the team at each step of the process. If you enjoy the work you are doing, you'll enjoy the hard tasks; even the tedious tasks take on a certain type of satisfaction in a good job.

A team where people are sitting around for others to take action is not a good team or a good job. I encourage you to raise your standards.

>Rewarding individuals based on the group outcome is a great way to drive rockstars away from the team.

I don't care how many rockstars are on a team, I care if the team is transforming the world into a better place, is helping the company and humanity make the transition to "everything is software and networked" a thrilling transition. If someone is slower mentally but has a vision of a better world that the team is making happen, then they will probably move the team towards delivering on that vision than some smart but Blind obsessed person that wants the "FIRE" crap. Also, valuing money over all means your team will fall into traps like accounting irregularities more easily - lacking a sense of values outside of economic gain means the team will fall into things like the Enron mess or https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/business/2005/03/22/t... or the various shady ad selling schemes or privacy selling schemes so common these days.

I've worked with teams where most people love the work and love the outcome of the work on the world, and I've worked where people are beset with visions of becoming some sort of rich software engineering lord, and it's a lot more fun in the former case.

People that want families and is supporting them are not doing software only for a princely salary. The thing that's awesome about a software career and families is that the demand for engineers means you can afford to insist on the flexibility and time-off needed by the family, and still get a livable salary.
It would only unmask those connecting directly to the central cluster nodes, everyone behind them would be fine.
The U.S. "Sunshot" program sets USD$0.03/kWh as the target levelized cost for 2030 utility solar. At the moment that number is USD$0.06/kWh.

If they used power only at production peaks and colocated with generation (saving ~10% line losses), $0.02/kWh seems in the realm of the possible.

As to lack of resources to build enough solar capacity, concentrator plants make that a non-issue.

Yeah and this problem is exacerbated at Google by the relatively easy process of moving between teams. Other companies I was at made this hard. Google encourages it.

When friends complain to me about Google killing projects, they act as if it's upper management making a decision to kill. And that is sometimes the case. But often it's just: nobody wanted to work on it anymore. And Google isn't the kind of "command and control" culture where you crack the whip and tell all your engineers that they're doing X and assign them. At Google they'll just leave your org and move to some other team, and you won't have the power to stop them.

Not saying that's a bad thing, but it has some bad outcomes occasionally.

I'd be worried about bad reviews.

Founders don't wanna have a bad reputation in the small VC world. A bad review for a VC might piss them off. Pissing one VC off might be a recipe for earning bad rep.

Found startup, get acquihired in a year for $10M. There's risk involved, but there are certainly people who have managed to do this.

There's a number of other ways of varying risk/time/shadiness tradeoffs. Start VC fund, have $1B exit, cash out $70M carry in 7 years. Start hedge fund, raise $300M, earn 12% returns for 7 years, cash out $70M carry on $360M profits. Find a DeFi exploit, hack Ethereum, earn $300M in a 10 seconds, hope the Feds don't catch you. Lever up on real estate, put 3.5% down on 100 $300K properties, turn $1M into $20M as they've gone up to $500K over the past year.
I'm suggesting every one would connect directly to the central cluster.
"low-fee" crypto networks are not a comparison because your goal is not to send "low-fee" cryptos, it's to transfer money. Transferring money requires a domestic transfer from your bank account to an exchange, purchasing on an exchange for a 1-2% fee, performing a "low-fee" transfer, selling on an exchange for a 1-2% fee, then performing a domestic transfer to a local bank account. Then adding these taxable events to your income taxes.

Sending money this way is almost certainly slower, more expensive, way more prone to failure and exposes you to tons of counter-party risk. Remember the guy who lost $400,000 trying to send himself money between the US and Canada using Quadriga and got caught without a seat in the game of musical chairs?

A better comparison would be a Wise Multi Currency Account [1]. You get a variety of worldwide bank account numbers. You can ACH into it for free (and SEPA, and EFT, and so on). There is no step two. Anyone in most world jurisdictions can open such an account. Anyone in much of the world can perform a free domestic transfer to send money into it no matter where you are. $0.00. This is what innovation looks like, IMO.

Places payment processors charge you a large fee are almost certainly to cover the risk associated with that transaction - the risk which is not covered when performing a crypto payment. Let alone all the new risks that enter the picture when performing a crypto payment. You're still on the hook for these risks personally, mind you, it's just an unaccounted for externality.

Dig into the business model of these payment processors and you'll quickly learn exactly why they charge what they do.

This sounds like the beginning of a great startup. I know a couple people on Indiehackers were trying to put something like this together a few months back: trips to co-work together around the world. Not sure if anything ever came of it, but might be worth checking out on IndieHackers to see if you can pull up an old post about this sort of thing and if the person was able to get a group together.

I would say that they evidently felt the need to write a new compiler and runtime, which appears to be a species of agreement with my thesis.

This fallacy is how we get where we are. We all already legally agree every person working deserves a minimum wage.

Even now they pretend it's just 'entry level jobs for schoolchildren without bills'. In reality it allows them to pay the bare minimum as now people who need to support themselves now directly compete with those who do not, artificially depressing the wages such that they almost never go over the bare minimum.

I'd also like to add they use this to their advantage ad nauseum. They use this to- while paying the bare minimum- demand workers do demeaning jobs, in demeaning uniforms, are generally disrespected by customers, can't get time off when they need it, supplying the bare minimum insurance, placing all the monetary onus on the employee. What we have does not work, we need to try something else.
Why not just increase taxes to the point where everyone in the country gets $25 an hour from the government, if that’s the end goal? Why is it the employer’s job to enact a government policy?

Go to your favorite cloud console and provision it.Better yet, use a serverless architecture and don't even worry about servers! Your own data center? Right now there's a 4-6 month wait time for new servers and storage equipment, and an 8-12 month wait time for networking equipment. Not exactly agile, is it?

Sure, that all works, as long as you have infinite money. My last job was at a company that was heavily invested into a serverless architecture, using the full suite of AWS tooling. They did an audit of one of their codebases and they found that generating a particular piece of data cost $20, almost entirely in fees to AWS. The company's roadmap involved scaling up the generation of this data, so they embarked on a huge process of optimizing and refactoring, to try to get the cost down. This effort tied up probably 40-45 engineers for at least six months. Probably cost them roughly 3 million dollars in salary alone, let alone opportunity cost in terms of other projects not delivered. No one amongst the management ever seriously considered moving to an on-prem solution, even though it was blatantly clear that the only value the company's massive usage of AWS Lambda, SQS, RDS and other managed services was delivering was additional profit margin for Amazon's balance sheet, and resume line items for the engineers who now got to check off the "used Terraform" box when applying to their next job.
I believe it is a personal responsibility to judge the costs and benefits of any medication (prescription or not). Absolutely, take care with Benadryl/Diphenhydramine (more commonly a cough&cold medicine), paracetamol, or any other antihistamines you may use.
The real answer here is take whatever the R data.table package is doing and copy that. It's even written in C. It's by far the best csv reading package I've ever used and will sort as it reads, sometimes extremely fast since it can pretty intelligently guess if a radix sort is possible. The only downside is I believe it can only handle csvs that fit in memory, but memory is getting pretty damn big these days. I used it as inspiration a long while back when I needed to write a library to read in ARPA-formatted n-gram language models, which is a fairly obscure file format I could not find any existing libraries for.

Of course, data.table has existed for over a decade and you're not going to come up with something comparable in 15 minutes, but that's why you'd want to just copy it and not come up with your own solution in the first place.

I believe ECE (Electrical and Computer Engineering) programs still provide a strong background in low-level systems programming. At least, that was the case when I was at Purdue 9 years ago. My experience with low-level programming has been a boomerang: focused on embedded systems in college, went gradually further up the stack after school due to my interests, and then gradually drifted back down to low-level C++ as I began working on more complex problems.
Tracking can be much more harmful so when will Google make app developers, including themselves, hop thru this many hoops to protect users?
