Right, the quote from the linked paper is:

> This is contrary to a suggestion that finding fewer insects on number plates in recent years might be attributed to increasing streamlining of vehicle aerodynamics over time. Our data show that newer vehicles sample more insects
than older vehicles, and we have observed pattern of fewer insects on number plates more recently than in the past in spite of this effect of vehicle age, which is assumed to be correlated with aerodynamics.

In fact the researchers posit a few more possiblities other than collapse of insect populations that could explain their data. For example they can't eliminate the possibility that there's some change in the management of roadside verges that specifically decreases the insect population in those environments, without reducing the population in other environments.

The challenge for all the explainations which involve something other than population change is that there's now an increasing nubmer of studies using different techniques which consistently show declining populations. For example [1] uses Malaise traps in nature reserves, which presumably wouldn't be affected by roadside management practices, and finds a ~75% decrese in flying insect biomass over 27 years, whereas [2] uses light trap data to look at moths specifically and finds a ~40% decline in biomass over 50 years (and ~50% in woodlands).

Whilst it's possible to find studies that show increases in insect numbers e.g. as a result of site-specific conservation work, there's a lot of data suggesting that in Europe at least numbers are in significant decline. As far as I can tell (and I'm really not an expert) we don't understand the reasons all that well, but habitat fragmentation and pesticide use are leading theories. We at least know that common pesticides (notably, but not exclusively, neonicotinoids) are toxic to bees, and will reduce populations even at sub-lethal doses (e.g. [3]). So changing our agricultral practices to eliminate these chemicals looks like a necessary, but perhaps not sufficient, part of the solution.

2. Yeah... You're not wrong.
Sort of related, last night I managed to make Clang crash by feeding it a certain C++ program: https://i.imgur.com/r5MC2aK.png

It was very surprising that there was a way to get Clang to segfault. Should I report it somewhere?

The code is basically doing a recursive template expansion with some C++20 concept constraints. So it's not quite as simple as "And. And...", but it's similar in that certain input text causes a crash. I just have no idea whether to report it, or where.
I guess faith is a knob. You can dial it down when explaining it to a critic and dial it up when exerting control over an adherent.

> What matters is that the sweet potato market is a market.. choose to buy sweet potatoes of their own free will

Who said it matters? I voted of my own free will, and my vote funded the LHC. Is my free will in the form of voting less legitimate than my free will the form of money?

In the same post you are saying that privilidge isn't about money, but you are also implying that you have no free will without money?

What about markets where no person ever bought anything of their own free will, all corporation to corporations markets? For example there is a market for planet destroying coal, for clothes and rare-earth minerals produced with slave labour, etc. Do those industries have more privilidge than academia does?

Fine, let's compare it to something that isn't a market -> recommendations of the Doctors and the CDC, or the Catholic Church, or the spending on the road network, or the military. All of them have bigger budgets. There is no way that this logic works.

This entire series of posts is clearly clutching at straws. Real privilidge is measurable - Men used to make more money for the same job, black people were less likely to get the job, they died younger, etc.
It’s not the only version either

I think that to pass judgement bears responsibility. So if you want to judge your neighbours go above and beyond reasonable effort.

I'm not religious, but I like what Christians say: do not judge if you don't want to be judged.

>How many hundreds of smartphones do you think it takes to make up the resources consumed by one car?

Interesting question. According to this source[1], a car, weighing 20,000 times more than a mobile phone, takes 400 times the energy to manufacture. Alternatively, one car is 22 laptops, or 100 tablets. As we seem to get through electronics at maybe 5-10x the rate of cars, those numbers start to look pretty close. Hopefully, you don't have a desktop too, as there are about 10 of those to one car. Nor one of those fancy new ultrawidescreen TVs, as there are less than a handful of those to one car[2]

From that same paper, an obsession with just the energy cost of items completely misses the point. Eg:

"There is significant concern regarding the uncertainty around GHG emissions abatement for integrated circuit and LCD screen fabrication—particularly for perfluorinated compounds (PFC). PFCs range between 7,000 and 17,000 times more potent than Carbon Dioxide (CO2) based on 100-year Global Warming Potential GWP5. And while CO2 has atmospheric lifetimes between 30 and 95 years, PFCs can last 740 to 50,000 years (Pew Climate 2010)."

That's not the experience I have actually using javascript on a day to day basis. People don't use prototypes anymore, they uses classes. People don't use var anymore, they use const or let. People generally don't use `for...in` or .forEach() anymore, they use `for...of`. The javascript experience is a lot cleaner now, because of all the evolution in the past few years. For those who only code in javascript once every few years it can be jarring, but the ecosystem as a whole moves very fast (new frameworks and runtimes like Svelte or Deno), and that can be a good thing too

Well almost all the JavaScript language innovation was syntax sugar and was implemented as transforms before the browsers implemented it. I think JavaScript devs mostly were fine to keep using transforms indefinitely and it's just been more convenient that the browsers have moved to implement it.

Python could have done this easily too but evolving as a language just isn't as big a priority (not that I'm saying it should be) and that's completely (or mostly) disconnected from their backend implementation decisions.
> But now all the complex math is hidden away behind abstractions, and the extra computation to do everything in WGS-84 space is insignificant... UTF-8 is now worth it over encoding things using codepages.

There is a reason for having GIS professionals. WGS-84 is not nearly accurate enough for many purposes. Good enough to find your home, not good enough for precision surveys. In my country to get sub-metre (cm) precision using NZGT2000 is necessary.

WGS-84 also has no deformation component. The tectonic plates moves, in parts of my country movement is 5cm/year,and so a WGS-84 coordinate taken at one point in time won't precisely point to the save bit of dirt at a later time. Other geographic coordinate systems can take this into account.

Nobody would use UTF-8 if every 1000th character was lost.

I have watched several seemingly normal people go more and more crazy, and a pathogen (or maybe long Covid?) seems like a possible reason.

It's not a high bar. There's just a surprising number of people that are really good at playing limbo.
One aspect of this is that, if your codebase has a consistent ordering rule like “alphabetical”, then you can be confident that deviations from the rule are intentional. If your codebase is inconsistent, you can never be sure whether a particular ordering represents an important edge case or is just careless

What percentage of users can actually make useful decisions based on the advanced WiFi info? Here's a screenshot for example: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/227iup97ivdaurw/Screen%2...

I suspect it's around 1%, and most of those 1% already know about the hold option trick (which works on many menus). I agree with you it's frustrating how this useful information is obscured, but I also think this is a reasonable compromise for Apple as they try to balance power with usability and simplicity for the sake of the non-technical majority.
I’m willing to bet it’s related to this. Google docs is trying to guess something for autocomplete, similar to their gmail feature to complete your sentences.

I was curious so i had a bash at comparing the cost of just buying another server to throw at the problem vs telling a FAANG dev to optimise the code.

A dedicated 40core / 6Tb server is around $2k but will be amortized over the years of its life.
It needs power, cooling, someone to install it in a rack, someone to recycle it afterwards, ..., around $175/yr

A FAANG dev varies wildly but $400k seems fair-ish (given how many have TC > 750k).

So that's about 12 hours of time optimising the code vs throwing another 40c / 6Tb machine at the problem for 365 days.

The big cost i'm missing out of both the server and the developer is the building they work in. What's the recharge for a desk at a FAANG, $150k/yr ? I have no idea how much a rack slot works out at.

Unless i've screwed up the figures anywhere, we should probably all be looking at replacing Python with Ruby if we can squeeze more developer productivity!

(O'R author and former editor 1999-2006 here)

If finance is your only motivation for how you spend your time, do not write a book. It's a very long tail business. Good sales, whether you self-publish or have a publisher, come from great marketing -- the right topic and a high-profile author who is very visible and gets the book noticed by many people. The odds of that being you are very small indeed.

Why would anyone write a book? To spread the knowledge, to gain some mana for the author, to gain some mana for the product, to support a consulting business. ("Author of ...")

All those motivations are more strongly rewarded when you're published by "A Real Publisher" (doesn't have to be O'Reilly). Real publishers have distribution, and have a brand you and the product and the consulting business can benefit from.

If you think you have the reputation and the visibility that will sell your book, definitely think about self-publishing. If you're prepared to invest the time in things that aren't coding and aren't writing (managing reviews, hiring a copyeditor, getting figures, having a professional index built, designing or managing a designer of a cover, etc.) then self-publishing might let you have a commercial success of a book.

But books are like startups: most die in the dark. Self-publishing or going with a name publisher is just arguing about 10% vs 90% of bugger all.

College graduates make more money for the same job, are more likely to get the job, and they die older. For college professors this is even more true, at least if we're talking about former professors going into industry in the first two cases.

So clearly by your definition traditional academia does have significant privilege. Where I differ from Ron is that I think it's well-earned and not very large in absolute terms.
