The station wagons arrived at noon, a long shining line that coursed through the west campus. In single file they eased around the orange I-beam sculpture and moved toward the dormitories. The roofs of the station wagons were loaded down with carefully secured suitcases full of light and heavy clothing; with boxes of blankets, boot and shoes, stationary and books, sheets, pillows, quilts; with rolled-up rugs and sleeping bags; with bicycles, skis, rucksacks, English and Western saddles, inflated rafts. As cars slowed to a crawl and stopped, students sprang out and raced to the rear doors to begin removing the objects inside; the stereo sets, radios, personal computers; small refrigerators and table ranges; the cartons of phonograph records and cassettes; the hairdryers and styling irons; the tennis rackets, soccer balls, hockey and lacrosse sticks, bows and arrows; the controlled substances, the birth control pills and devices; the junk food still in shopping bags--onion-and-garilc chips, nacho thins, peanut creme patties, Waffelos and Kabooms, fruit chews and toffee popcorn; the Dun-Dun pops, the Mystic mints. -1st paragraph of White Noise, 1986.

Fair point. I agree with you on that.
VW sells out of electric cars in Europe and US
Agreed.

You should know that in the past when OOP was not common, we had to work a little harder doing things like managing our own memory or building a LAMP server to publish our web pages.

There was a thriving market for language and UI add ons. The result was that each company had their own internal dev tools and recruiting people outside of the company who had experience with those tools was nearly impossible.

All that said, we were at a point where entry to programming was easy (think Visual Basic in the 90s). The quality generally went down as everyone was pushing their "first project" as if it was a polished product. Finding actual good programs on PC is close to the situation on mobile where most of the apps are trash.
I would argue with notion that this complexity is unnecessary.

But most importantly — if it really is, as you say, you can profit of that. Open a consultancy, and solve client's problems without using these over-engineered solutions. If your competition truly wastes a lot of time, then you would be able to solve the same problems faster and in a more effective manner.
> Allowing electricity consumption by data centres to continue to increase would make it harder for the Government to push policies where it is asking individuals to reduce consumption at a time “when consumption by data centres is so high and clearly just growing,” said Dr Bresnihan.

This is a very wrong way to frame things. If you replace all the "data centers" in the article with "car factories", then most of the article makes very little sense. It's easy to understand that car factories make cars, that cars are useful, that they provide work and pay taxes. he problem with data centers the product is abstract, and it seams that they are just giant farm of computer coolers spinning and wasting electricity.

> The operator has said that it will not connect new data centres in Dublin for the foreseeable future because energy supply in the greater Dublin area is constrained.

That is a real problem. You don't want to cause regular electricity outages because the grid has technical problems. Data centers also don't like regular electricity outages. So the solution is to build the new ones in a area with good electric connectivity.

Here in Argentina we have a big aluminum smelter. They have a dedicated big hydroelectric electricity plant. https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aluar autotranslation https://es-m-wikipedia-org.translate.goog/wiki/Aluar?_x_tr_s... (The English version has less details.)

If I made the calculation correctly, the amount of electricity they use is approximately the 10% of the electricity generation in Ireland, so almost like all the rural home in Ireland. Is aluminum useful? We export most of it, so if you like your light aluminum chair of bike, perhaps it was made with the electricity of a big hydroelectric dam in Argentina. On the other hand, the dam and the smelter are located far away from a big city. Moving it to Buenos Aires would case a lot of problems with the electric grid.

Increased complexity is only achieved with additional energy input. im suggesting that if energy (read: money) going into the system decreases rather than increases, there will be a reduction in complexity.

Attitudes vary from person to person, but I don't really think being 20 minutes from nature really counts. I lived in Paris until recently and had a really rough time for a few reasons, but the biggest one is was the lack of green places to walk. Whenever I brought it up to anyone, people would say "oh, what about Bois de Boulogne or Bois de Vincennes?" Both were inaccessible by foot from where I lived due to distance and would take 30 minutes to get to by public transit. So what's the idea, then? We should budget an hour in a subway tunnel each day so we can spend some time in a park? That's no way to live; nature isn't something we should treat like a museum. It is something we should feel a part of.

For me, thankfully, there was an easy solution: I moved to one of the towns just outside of the city. Now I have ample access to lots of trees, birds, flowers, etc. If I get on my bike, which I do frequently, I can be in some really beautiful regional parks within 40 minutes or so, and the ride there ain't too bad either.

You are repeating an argument you read somewhere, not actually something you believe. No-one sizes their terminals to 80chars. Heck, I don't even remember the last time I came across one, maybe other than some BIOS over RS232 (i.e. NOT coding). For the 0% of you who code on a dot matrix printer, please enable line wrapping in your editor and let the rest of the world move on.

I am not saying lines should be arbitrary long, but a 100-120 _soft_ limit would really not hurt anyone and would help code readability a LOT.

p.s. even dot matrix printers support a 100 character mode.

EDIT: long lines only reduce readability for prose. Code is inherently easier to parse for the eye because it has a shape. Unless of course if you f--k up that shape with arbitrary line breaks.
Why do people spend so much energy shooting down a language nobody uses? If you don’t like it you don’t have to use it. I would hate to be the creator of Hare and get so much crap for simply daring to exist.

He is making a language he likes and wants to use. There are probably some people who like it and find it useful. Good for them! A lot of us have dreams of building our own language. He is following his passions and people are just lining up to be Debbie Downers.

Now I almost feel like I need to learn more Hare to give the guy some encouragement and positive feedback on things done right. Be the glass half full guy.

Well I won’t. I think Zig will be the last C-like language I invest time in. It is so easy to get sucked into something new that will never go mainstream.
Those gardens in London are privately owned and maintained. And far from ubiquitous - they’re mostly in wealthy areas.

It’s nice that they exist. But it’s not so nice that they’re a perk for the rich and not accessible by an average resident.

And AFAIK, there is no planning rule that requires they be added with new (re-)development. Only maintaining what’s there.
There's a bunch of them out there and they mostly suck.

What is your point? Does the amount of dangling feature requests mean that it is not good? Does your snark negate my joy for using it?
Yes, and I'd be quite surprise if they didn't. That is the low-hanging fruit of risk management - civil, political and economic stability of the market they're investing on.

Using an analogy, you don't see people rushing to live nearby a nuclear powerplant, do you? Even if the plant didnt have any accident before; the mere presence of it changes the risk.
Highly depends on where you work. In my company we stick with "use boring stuff" and have a limited amount of "innovation spending". I look at the complexity of these other things mostly as a computer science theory and ways that language and solving problems could be done.

One of the reasons the Soviet system had so many unpleasant years is that it was a system of economic totalitarianism. If Stalin wanted a road built in Siberia, he would make sure it happened. Your whole life belonged to the economy; people grew to resent that.

We also live under economic totalitarianism. The reptilians at Davos decide what work you're allowed to do, where you're allowed to work, what kind of friendship circle you will be able to maintain, and everything else. If the self-appointed "jawb creators" decided to create more jawbs in eastern Wyoming (to build "performance improvement" camps, let's say) then you are expected to "move where the jobs are"--at your expense, of course.

> There are plenty of dense places with incredible nature within just an hours drive.

What a hilarious example of what the original commenter was saying. Apparently you think having nature an hour away is acceptable, or at least counts as being close to nature. As a very anti-urban person, I consider that nightmarish. I'm glad other people like that kind of world, and hope they all keep moving to the cities to leave the rest of the world open and spacious for the rest of us.
Sounds a bit... hare-brained. :^)

> It's usually way, way cheaper than owning a car

It’s usually cheaper than each person owning their own car, but more expensive than a household sharing a car. Of course, this varies widely from city to city and it depends on how often people rent cars or use rideshare or taxis.

The nice thing is you get fast, comfortable transit all the time, but the really nice thing is how much stuff you take advantage of that you might not otherwise. For example, I’m already paying for a car, so going on big road trips is only a marginal extra cost (rather than $100/day + hassle for a car rental). Similarly, I probably wouldn’t have gotten into camping if I had to rent a car for each trip. I probably also wouldn’t visit family as often.

I definitely see the appeal of not needing to own a car, but I tried it and it wasn’t for me. For my city, I’d love to see them start by cleaning up and policing existing public transit (for example) and then scale up from there.

It's so interesting: when Gmail first came out, tags were so innovative. So much better than folders. I spent the first couple years tagging all my mail, and setting up filters.

Now I never think of it. If I want an email, I search. Having hundreds of thousands of old emails means tags would have long-since been overwhelmed.

Is this other people's experience? Or am I bad for not doing inbox-zero and carefully curated tags?

We had an application running a business for 10 years. It started printing labels incorrectly. There was a bug in the code. The source code provided for the application was at least 5 years out of date. Documentation was null. Additionally, the variable names were TextBox1, TextBox2....etc.

I decompiled the app, documented the UI and which variable is what. Rewrote the whole app. It was quite painful but good learning experience. I would love to do another one.

Did you not read the thread you’re commenting in? There’s a very good reply just a few comments up explaining how the origins of MENSA seem much more reasonable to our modern sensibilities in a lower tech world.
Are you dismissing that perspective, or did you just not see it? Ranting about an IQ Club that you’re not a part of seems to me even more embarrassing than what you’re accusing them of. Does that make sense?

Maybe that last line is a bit harsh, but I presume MENSA has never negatively impacted your life - certainly not tangibly. This is my experience, and I have no interest in joining. Assuming the worst, and denigrating those that haven’t done anything to deserve it is immature at best, yet it’s something that we seem to be getting more comfortable with. It frustrates me.

Agreed. To me this reads as a veiled complaint about employers not valuing creativity.

In my experience employers place high value on creativity within the constraints of a particular job. People may not like those constraints, but that's a different issue.

There are two main types of sound, I think. Alarm sounds and social sounds.

Alarm sounds indicate the presence of a predator or danger, and tend not to give away the position of the source. Think a continuous tone, it's hard to pinpoint the location by sound.

"Social" noises on the other hand have a more staccato character and allow the hearer to pinpoint the location of the source.
I was interested in Zitadel, but because it requires Kubernetes, it can't replace Keycloak in my docker-compose managed homelab setup. If you could just run it as a standalone container, I'd give it a shot.
Or, if you think your employer's business is worthwhile and you are looked after well, why would you?

It seems a common attitude these days that all workplaces are temporary and ripping you off if you stick around. Such ego.

Someday these job-hoppers won't be so lucky to have such a market available and will wonder what happened. They might find out they're not as desirable as they think they are.

> The hardest part, still fully unsolved, is operating with current legislation and outdated city planning rules. Those normatives revolve around high density and cheap development. Nature takes space and efficient buildings are expensive so housing constructors will have a hard time buying into the green zone.

where i live there is constant discussion of "we need high density housing" and this is exactly what comes to mind. eventually this would end up with something like soviet style block housing, which doesn't seem so well received around the world. not to mention this style of housing is very constrictive in terms of lifestyle - maximum 2 child family with minimal space for hobbies/interests, limited sunlight, high noise pollution, etc.

this city in Estonia [0] for example, is somewhat pleasing to look at from a birds eye view and seems to check the boxes for having green space but i wonder about the range of residents' experiences.

IME : they had to move up the stack, in order to access better employment opportunities.
Easy to write, sure. But every time a developer has to look at it for the first time, they'll need to learn this hashmap's interface.

Do I need to manage memory? Does it manage memory? How do I iterate? How do I add a new key space without thrashing the original implementation and making it twice as complicated?

That's the biggest thing a standard interface gives you. Even if it's less performant and not well-designed, I'll take it.

The C++ containers are actually well-designed and performant so it's a no-brainer if you get to choose.

Almost forgot the type checking you get with C++. That's also a major factor.
what would be useful is test cases.

We don’t need more memory-unsafe languages with no generics and no functional programming. We just don’t. If it were a toy project for learning and pedagogical purposes that’s one thing but for code that’s supposed to be used in production it’s useless.

? There were massive movements against the war in Iraq, including I thin the largest protests in all of history on Jan 15 2003 around the world, 100's of thousands of people in major cities.

That there were antagonisms between pro/against doesn't mean Americans were not empathetic one way or another, and the 'pro war' were as maligned by other side just as well i.e. 'war monger' etc..

While the popular justification for war was exaggerated, Iraq did have WMD, but more importantly, the geostrategic consideration for removing Saddam just isn't something that can be used in a populist context. You can't say "We failed to complete the mission in 1993, Saddam is operating a rogue regime" etc..

Remember that there was a 'no fly zone' over Iraq for a decade to keep the Iraqi Air Force down - this is arguably an untenable position.

If the 'post invasion' process were to have been better prepared for and planned and less direct political failure etc. I suggest people would look at it as a 'success'. My point being - the 'motives' are very tied to 'execution' in terms of our understanding of whether or not it was a good thing.

Most poignantly - the US wasn't trying to create a vassal, just the opposite. None of the Iraqi Oil contracts even when to American firms, during the occupational period US had considerable influence but would actually rather not. The US spent gazillions of dollars trying to 'get some kind of civil framework' going, which they accomplished, just barely so.

In hindsight it was a hugely bad decision, but it were to have been less chaotic than arguably it might not have been a bad decision.

Putin's decision to invade Ukraine is purely Imperialist, his objective is to 'erase' Ukraine.

If Ukraine had capitulated, sure, there would be less bloodshed, but you'd also see a nation evaporate, and, another 10's of millions of people living in another Russian Vassal s*thole.
Maybe "directed creativity" is a trick to make people satisfied with their work and not long for "undirected creativity"? The latter is the more intellectually rewarding form of creativity because it feels like other people can't create the same things that you do.
