Well you can. If you understand the algorithm you can write it in any language you know. Additionally, C is at basic level just loops, conditionals and function calls so it will be easy to translate from it if you need to. And then there are other books using other languages out there and people can choose.

That’s somewhat beside the point.

Universal, even slightly suboptimal standards, are better than non universal optimal ones.

Apple could have pushed for a better industry standard, to the benefit of everyone, including themselves, but they chose not to.

I mean, if they had solutions that compete with what the other market has, then companies can support both.

This professional training would help with that. It's not necessarily that things aren't available. Sometimes it's just not having someone that knows how to.

In any public company the CEO is just another employee. Maybe he even has less freedom than others.

I agree with your position that MotF portrays what generally needs to happen for us to have a non-horrifying future, though as a matter of probability it's like getting heads on ten coin flips in a row.

Fukuyama's criticism about characterization is unfair because I don't think KSR was trying and failing to make amazing characters. They were just vehicles for the larger story. Being disappointed that a main character didn't have sex at the end is really missing the point.

An aside: while reading MotF I felt the same sort of relentless sense of passing time that you get in Christopher Nolan's movie Interstellar. Interestingly both the book and movie are about climate change and time and, also, about centering the story and setting at the expense of characterization.

I'm ambivalent about the advantages of arguing for political change as a necessary part of environmental change. But as you said in an earlier comment, rapid transition (which I think is likely, as we go right to the cliff and then fall off) will itself be horribly traumatic. It will require massive government intervention to prevent total societal collapse. After hurricanes and earthquakes, you don't adjust tax rates, you send in the military.

My own major criticism of MotF is that, as the COVID crisis makes clear, people live by motivated reasoning, and as climate change gets worse that motivation will be fear, and frightened people will act badly. Most of the opposition in MotF are rich people trying to hold onto what they have or technocratic rulers too timid to act. In the actual world the real problem will be billions of terrified people whose past has been or is about to be destroyed and with no clear future. However that story told honestly would look like a Cormac McCarthy novel and maybe KSR just doesn't want to go there yet.
Thankfully your browser can indicate if you prefer dark or light designs and the website's CSS can adapt to that. Unfortunately desktop browsers do no make that setting accessible for normal users (mobile browsers follow the system theme, desktop browsers might in some cases). Also Firefoxe's enhanced tracking protection means you want light themes instead of the more sensible "no preference".
your #1 doesn't even make sense (for example, that point doesn't apply to Azure, but you're OK with azure?

For me this light pinkish text on the dark purple background is far worse choice... it's not just the eye strain that I felt immediately, it also has this anxious and aggressive vibe. Good choice of color palette for a striptease club, but not so much for a page with a lot of text IMHO...
they didn't provide a link that got you login-walled, they mentioned a product that's working for them. Don't see why that's an issue
The author responded to this exact feedback in the comments:

“No, the way medium's designers set things up, the text color follows the background color. The user (me) has no way of controlling that.

The page was set lower than FFF because FFF is also much too bright. In light mode, Page luminance needs to be around 80 to no more than 90.

I've been experimenting to see if there is a way to improve Medium's poor, inaccessible design choices.

Unfortunately, attempting to use web inspector while in design mode, they crash the browser, so you have to publish each iteration to then go and inspect how the text colors end up.

And it's actually worse than I imaginged. Medium actually makes the text worse when you choose a color other than FFF. As as I stated, FFF is much too bright.

Ultimately, I think I am going to leave it in a dark mode, until I move my articles to a better site.”
Respectfully, I think this is a little bit naive. While the job ladder doesn't explicitly specify org growth as a requirement to get ahead, leading more people is a classic way to get ahead as a relatively junior manager. If a manager's peers are all more senior but are leading similar sized or smaller orgs, it will seem natural that the junior manager should get promoted to the same level. Building orgs is a classic way for managers to get ahead.

Actually delivering value is a huge advantage too, but as far as I've seen is not prerequisite for getting ahead.
Erlang JIT is still very simple, unlike highly optimized super complex V8 jit. It's faster than non-jit erlang, sometimes twice as fast, but nowhere near nodejs-fast. Erlang team don't have resources to make and maintain such complex beast. (everything said here is about raw performance)
You keep saying UST, but that's not Tether. That's the Luna stablecoin that crashed to nothing.
I've considered (overuse of) .gitignore an antipattern for several years now. I've been bitten too many times by it hiding the differences between my local repo and someone else's.

With some projects that ignore build artifacts it's very difficult to know whether you've successfully performed a clean or not.

I don't see a problem with having a dirty repo. It makes it clear how the state of my local directory is different from what's in source control. Isn't that the whole point?

I'm sure I'm missing something, but so far I haven't missed .gitignore.
I wouldn't use the word "conspiracy" but just looking at the level of what articles are published doesn't really describe the problem. The top cable news show (tucker carlson) is only watched by 1% of Americans; but the reach of those shows is broader then that. It's human and algorithmic curation that creates the "information monopoly".

Focusing on the human curation, my local newspaper publishes "stories from wire services such as the Associated Press, The New York Times, The Washington Post or Bloomberg News". Even if those individual stories are factually correct and unbiased, I'm only seeing a curated subset of the stories from those outlets. If i rely on my local newspaper as a primary source of information then I'm in their "information monopoly".

Monopoly is a the wrong word here (maybe narrative is a better one) because it's simple to opt out of it. Just admit (or assume) that oneself could be wrong and then actively search out information that proves (or doesn't prove) that you're wrong. Even if you assume people are willing to do this, they probably only have the time and motivation to do so for issues they're passionate about.
I got surprised recently by more predictable Yandex search is. I started comparing it to TikTok, the algorithm is more predictable and feels that you can direct it into the pathway you want.
It's an extremely common and useful way to use git if you are making small and directed commits. This allows you to write code for some feature which includes multiple changes to a file, then make a few different commits with useful commit messages which describe and explain the changes - e.g. the first to include the definition of a new function and why/how it works, a second to modify some constant variable, and a final one to add calls to your new function at some callsite.

Working in this way creates more commits, but with them comes the context of the change, written in the commit message body as prose. This sadly isn't a common way to use git at lots of companies unfortunately, but it unlocks a ton of gits power and makes the commit log and tools like `git blame` and `git bisect` actually useful.

If you're making single commits that affect lots of files and descriptions like "Updated foo.py", you're missing out on a lot of the benefits that git provides.
As much as you want.
Not to mention, transporting liquid natural gas by ship is way more expensive than pipelines. Natural gas is significantly cheaper in the US than in other countries, and cheap fracking plus the expense of oceanic transport is the reason.

> That is the difference between fact and conjecture.

Yes, but I'm trying to make a formal statement of fact here, not an empirical one.

> I think the set of kinds of bugs that can be written in dynamic languages is a strict superset of the kinds of bugs that can be written in a static language.

Here I am attempting to make a formal statement about the set of runtime behaviors that can be exhibited under static type systems. What I'm saying is that there is a set of incorrect runtime behaviors that can only be exhibited in a dynamic type system, that is, the set of type errors. I'm not aware of any runtime errors that can only be exhibited under a static type system. I'm not well educated enough in the relevant fields to be able to formalize this with notation (I would do so if I was, I think notation communicates these things much more clearly than words) but I do believe it has a formal representation.

> A conjecture that we've tried to verify yet failed to see a large effect is a problematic conjecture.

I think we're somewhat talking past each other here. What I'm saying is that the set of possible incorrect runtime behaviors is smaller in a static language. This can't really be empirically verified, it should have a formal answer in type theory or programming language theory. It's possible I'm wrong about what the formal answer is, but I haven't seen you address it yet. It's also possible that this is true but not strongly related to the way that bugs evolve in typical software engineering practice, I've speculated upthread that the total number of bugs might be similar because programmers make a higher number of repeated mistakes from the more narrow set while programming in static languages (though personally this seems unlikely). It's further possible that this is just not a very significant effect, as you have conjectured. However it is my belief that if there is an effect on bugs overall that it derives from what I understand to be a formal character of the runtime behavior of statically typed programs, that there are fewer ways for them to "go wrong."
GUSD's site claims audits - under a heading titled "Review the Gemini dollar reserve-funds independent accountant audits" but links to attestations (example: https://assets.ctfassets.net/jg6lo9a2ukvr/3ZfEIugZkOLsArm4JK..., "conducted in accordance with attestation standards").

Same fraudulent trick Tether pulled for years. They're not the same thing.

"Posthumous publicity rights" has to be one of the dumbest ideas I've ever heard of in my life. Copyright lasting 70 years after the death of the artist/creator is bad enough, but this is ridiculous.
I take very, VERY good care of my old, dumb cars that do not have Wifi, Blutooth or any built in cellular modems :p

If I'm lucky I will be buried with them. If forced to buy a new car at some point in the future, if it can't run without the radios physically removed from it I'm not buying it. Car companies know even less about computer security than consumer electronics companies; and it's been that way for decades yet here we remain.

A pox on all their houses!
The JVM is nearly as fast as hand optimised C, this is not intended to be that fast, rather a simple bedrock to build further optimisations into. Immutable everything also will limit performance as will the focus on latency at the cost of everything else. Not sure of actual performance compared to JVM though, I wonder if it’s as far away as I expect…
People who criticize do it for their own satisfaction, rather than to actually help. Ignore it, unless you're looking for feedback.

Way back in the day, The Pirate Bay was my discovery tool. They recommended other bands that were perfect for my tastes. I haven't even looked at that place in like 10 years or something. On the legal/legitimate front, Pandora has the BEST discovery algo I've ever seen. I can put in one artist and listen for hours. (I just have to thumbs-down Coldplay a lot) I've also found a lot of great music there. The bum thing is, some of it is not available on Spotify.
I think they have a very reasonable licensing model being GPL and Free Software.

That sounds intentional, like trying to prevent "public performances".
This is just what I've personally found helps make criticism easier to hear and less likely to put the other person on the defensive. What are you saying? Directly accuse them of things?

This is false:

- If I have a job at Google as an IC, I can look for IC jobs.

- If I have a job managing 10 people, I can get a manager-level job.

- If I have a job managing 100 people, I can get a director-level job.

- If I have a job managing 1000 people, I can look for a VP-level job.

- If I have a job managing 10,000 people, I can look for a C-suite job.

Average tenure in a position in the tech industry is around 3 years. No one will know or care what objectives a Google manager achieved, or whether those were hard or easy to achieve. If you want to grow rapidly in your career, the things which matter are:

- Connections, network, and references

- What shows up on an interview (e.g. self-improvement)

- What shows up on your CV (e.g. how many people you managed, or the brands you worked on)

The place techies get stuck in career growth is by trying to do the "right thing." By the time you're trying to rise to the top of a corporate ladder, the competition is extreme, and the people who succeed play the game as optimally as they can.

I might be able to look one level up. An IC might be able to manage a small team. However, your odds of having an IC move directly into the C-suite require nothing short of a miracle (a Nobel prize, being the author of Linux, or something similar).

Elon Musk: WeChat-alike app needs to exist, built out of Twitter or from scratch
If you are allowed to write e.g., a Java program and run it on the JVM, the speedup will typically be on the orders of magnitude in favor of the JVM. Static type systems and extensive optimization matter.

However, chances are you have an Erlang program, and it's quite large. In this case, the speedup compared to the older bytecode interpreter is good for many programs. It is performance you get "for free" by upgrading.

The underlying reason for picking something like Erlang is robustness. Java isn't really built for this kind of programming, and the JVM doesn't directly facilitate it either.
Nops. this was a natural evolution and a with plenty of historical precedents.

I know nothing about the reasons it was dropped (apart from what I've read on HN, ironically) but keep in mind this was years ago, when it was still deeply, deeply troubled and there was a lot of churn going on. "Churn" and "stable" kernels like RHEL don't mix well.

Kagi is jaw-droppingly amazing. With Google search quality declining, Bing being on average 95% as good as Google, and DuckDuckGo being 90% as good, I was doubting there was any way that search engines would ever improve. Kagi has removed that doubt completely. I ask for stuff and it finds it. I couldn't believe there could be such a useful product.

It depends on the aircraft. Some airliners do have automated systems that can help prevent a stall, or overspeed, or flight into terrain. But the pilot can always override those and intentionally crash.
It's bulling if you are a bully. But what if you are not and the rationale is justice? I feel blessed that all the people I work with are like this. There have been a few times it was necessary to be extremely clear pointing out my shortcomings with something. It was also clear as day they weren't getting any enjoyment out of being responsible for delivering the criticism as there was no emotional satisfaction in their voice and they didn't say a single word above and beyond what was necessary. (You can tell there are emotions thrown in when unnecessary threats or implied threats are added. Or, when they add language which belabors the point of how your actions negatively impacted or inconvenienced them - now enacting their 'emotional revenge' of sorts.)
The biggest energy scam I know about, just now, is Energy Vault.

Until last week, I thought Energy Vault was just cranks, like that Gateway Spaceport youtube-CGI "VERA space station in 6 months" guy. But Energy Vault is a publicly traded company, with $billions valuation! There is simply no chance of that stuff ever being competitive. It's like fusion.

I read over the things DoE is putting money into. Almost all of them amount to obscure ways to ensure heat engines remain massively involved in the energy system.

Is there somewhere to see the original transcript of Magic Roundabout, it would be very interesting to see the differences.

The Water Margin was on when I was a kid, and after watching perhaps the first episode, I missed all the others, as I was sent to evening elocution lessons, together with the son of my parent's close friends. He was Scottish, so in retrospect I can perhaps understand his parents decision, even though I sometimes had difficulty understanding them, lol, and probably vice-versa, our family were very middle-class English, they were IIRC from Glasgow.

But in any case we kids were both absolutely livid at having to miss this essential schoolboy series, and would spend most of the following day trying to catch up with the story via playground gossip. I remember affecting an extremely exaggerated upper-class English accent in the hopes of putting our parents off the whole elocution project, but on the contrary they seemed delighted. lol.

I really want a filesystem with snapshots as the foundation of a better backup system. Bcachefs has other useful features like CoW and disk pooling (in fact snapshots weren't even on the table until recently), but in my mind snapshots are a must-have feature these days, like journaling was 20 years ago.

Unfortunately, this has been just around the corner on Linux for over a decade now, and the two filesystems that promised to deliver it are unlikely to reach mainstream support on Linux. ZFS has licensing issues, and uses too much memory for a desktop system. BTRFS tried to do too many things, and has had too many reliability issues for me to trust it.
