Hmm; I think of it more as the null hypothesis - it is the alternative/proposed hypothesis that would need evidence in my mind. I.e. my daily necessary-for-sanity assumption is that 10 million gazillion things are pretty much the same today as yesterday; if a headline/claim is "This thing has changed/Occurred!", that is what needs evidence in order for claim to be relevant/substantiated/interesting.
I have looked at some benchmarks, and in nearly every benchmark I can find, Go takes 2-4 times as long as C to perform the majority of tasks (except when it is much, much slower).

>Assets grow faster than wages.

How long will this continue though? This can't be sustainable forever.

At one point, you won't have any money to buy any assets if your wages are barely covering your food and shelter, and so we'll go back to feudalism where only those few with inherited wealth owned assets and everyone else was a slave for life.

Rural people in Texas won't be buying electric trucks in 5 years. Maybe 10, but I doubt it. Until the electric equivalent of a fast charging gas station comes online in every small town, I doubt we'll see mass adoption in rural areas.

My relatives in rural Texas can easily drive 100+ miles a day just to go to work and the store/errands. If they needed to take a trailer that day, they would likely reach the limit of electric range.

My guess, wealthier rural families will probably get the ball rolling by purchasing electric cars for commuting and keeping the big diesel truck for weekend toy hauling/livestock/etc. This will incentivize some infrastructure in rural communities until city adoption reaches peak levels and we start to see infrastructure spread out from cities to support road trips and road warrior business commuting.
I'm torn on it, but I think I'm mostly in the thin-client camp. I don't have Slack or Zoom or just about anything other than my dev tools installed locally. I kind of view Zoom (and most opaque software blobs) as a bit sketchy / a virus waiting to happen if I install it. But I can use all of these just fine in my browser which has a much better (though not bulletproof) sandbox than my native apps get. Also, I can use them on Linux, which isn't always the case with native apps.

So. In all, SPAs and thin clients for the win, in my book.

I can't tell if you're idealistic or if you're using an idealistic tone pedagogically.

There is an Atlantic alliance working to increase costs for Russia in order to change China's calculus on Taiwan, which is itself only relevant because it is where 92% of advanced semiconductor manufacturing takes place. That's it, no-one important actually cares about whether it's appropriate to invade other countries, where the 'rightful clay' of your ethnonationalist group is, etc.

If Russia made 92% of the world's semiconductors my greengrocer wouldn't have a blue-and-yellow flag in his window. Simple as. If we want to have productive discussions about geopolitics we should talk about the /reasons/ of national interest, not the /excuses/ of bumper-sticker memetics.

For a sense of total storage capacity represented here....

The total storage is 27 linear km of drawer capacity, arranged in 2 aisles of 9 banks of 500 drawers (25 h x 20 w), 3m in length.

Paper storage capacity is about 6,000 sheets per linear meter.

https://www.ilmcorp.com/tools-and-resources/estimate-the-num...

So the capacity here is roughly for 162 million sheets of paper, at 100% loading. Few storage systems operate (or can function) at 100% load, but let's look for a maximum.

Data per sheet is probably relatively sparse, based on forms and fields, but at a maximum for comfortable reading might reach 500 words/page, at 6 bytes/word, or about 3 kB/page (decimal).

That's a total of ... just under 500 GB of storage maximum.

In practice, individual drawers would likely be kept to less than 80% capacity, and the fields on any given form would amount to perhaps 10% of total textual capacity, or about 25 GB of actual data stored.

An alternative print data format is michrofiche (or more generally, microforms), which reduce texts to about 4% of their original size. The 9,000 drawers here might have been reduced to 360 under such a scheme, less than 3/4 of a single bank shown, though of course, individual sheets could not be inserted, instead they'd have to be printed onto new fiche cards and cross-referenced somehow. There was a considerable microforms revolution during the early-and-mid 20th century, and I can remember a library whose catalogue existed on fiche, updated periodically from the computerised database used for circulation, in the 1970s.

By limit I mean the scope of it’s impact is limited. If new ideas become new words then language isn’t a limitation on idea formation, expression, or spread.

Sure some ideas might spread more easily as say an obvious and catchy campaign slogan, there is a maximum benefit to such advantages. “A fair day’s wage for a fair day’s work” is longer say “No taxation without representation” but number of works doesn’t seem to be a major limitation here. People just encode such ideas into otherwise meaningless slogans like “Promises Kept.” Soon people don’t wonder what “The wage gap” or “Pro life” is referring to.

The petrochemicals can be synthesised from CO2 and water with known methods. While nobody bothers with this right now, SpaceX basically has to make this economical as one sub-goal of their Mars colony, so I expect it in a decade or two, well before we run short of natural petroleum.

I’m more concerned with the long-term need to recover the potassium and phosphorus that washes into the ocean, which, despite still being theoretically solvable, is not currently economic enough to bother with even for the gold and uranium that’s also in the seawater.

All the important stuff is already owned by the few. It will just get worse. Eventually will lead to a revolution. That's the end game if it keeps going. There needs to be a jubilee and a 'new new' deal to prevent it. However, people in the USA have to acknowledge they are in an empire that's declining. There will be a lot of pain.

I've personally emailed two already and gotten responses about other things, so for those two, I know they will respond. And they were personal emails; I did not ask about business things.

The other, Daniel, has a great reputation and is employed by wolfSSL to work on curl among other things. That means that I could always pay for work through wolfSSL. But I am planning on establishing an email relationship, probably through asking questions as I learn how to integrate curl with my project. If he does not respond the way I would want him to, I'm going to have to find an alternative, and I will.

You are right that the idea of getting to know every single person in the first layer of a dependency chain is bizarre and unsustainable, but that is only because of current dependency culture. People just incorporate dependencies without thinking of the long-term consequences, and that makes it unsustainable since the consequences are unaccounted for. As long as they are unaccounted for, they will cause problems, and the problems make this idea unsustainable.

But I did not go about it like that. Instead, I sat down, designed my project (a VCS) beforehand and thought carefully about what I could write myself and what would be better to have dependencies on. So I carefully chose my dependencies, and I listed them before I even began.

And there were some requirements:

1. Have a person I could contact, preferably someone who I could pay should that be necessary.

2. Have no transitive dependencies, or all of their transitive dependencies are already satisfied by other dependencies.

3. Be written in C. (My project is in C.)

In the case of BearSSL, I would not have chosen it if curl wasn't able to work with it for TLS support because that would have been yet another dependency. But curl can work with BearSSL, so requirement 2 for curl was still satisfied, while BearSSL can still help with things like hashing files, generating keys, etc.

So you are right that the idea is unsustainable with how things are usually done, but I did things differently, and I did it differently because I wanted to avoid the problems you are alluding to.

I started a goat dairy about 12 years ago, while software consulting on the side while we built up the farm. We built a cheese processing plant 8 years ago to start adding value to the milk we were producing. Over the years we started processing cow's milk and milking and making sheeps milk cheeses too. We currently have about 125 dairy goats and a much smaller flock of sheep.

As the farm grew it became more and more time consuming, and managing the software consultancy became more difficult as I wasn't near the computer for most of the day. I enjoy the seasonality of farming, though it is very physically demanding, and I can feel the difference that 12 years has made.

In early 2020, I lost my last software client in the early pandemic, and put most of my energies into building the farm up. I currently don't do any external consulting, but have been working on my own tech and development projects. It's fun for me to be able to apply my development skills to on-farm problems. I've been doing minor automation projects using Arduinos and Raspberry Pis over the last four years.

The API case for Go is absurd IMO because what libraries are there in Go that are simultaneously not widely available in other languages and also difficult to implement on your own?

People complain about Racket's ecosystem, but it has many libraries that would be PhD level effort to implement and are unique in its ecosystem such as Rosette and Redex. If some random REST API doesn't have bindings yet, implementing those myself isn't all that difficult.

This really hit home for me reading "Excellent Sheep" by William Deresiewicz. At one point, a professor won an award for excellence in teaching and I believe the dean took the professor aside to reassure them that the award wouldn't negatively impact their career. Apparently, the common wisdom was you could either prioritize research or teaching and that an award in the latter implied you may not be completely committed to the former.

Schools should have none of those. And I say this as someone who happily uses my institution's nice gym and happy that decent mental health support will be available to me should I desire it.

Schools try so very hard to be the entirety of their students' lives. They want students socialisation to be within their bounds, they want students to go to their hospital, exercise at their gym, be policed by their police force, work at their on-campus jobs, eat at their cafeteria, live in their dorms, cheer for their sports teams, and so on and so on. And society mostly caters to this desire, which the students and parents are also more-or-less on board with. But even as these integrations individually benefit the students, the net effect is to bubble students away from the rest of the world while also creating a bloated administrative entity that is both too powerful for its own good and completely unable to get things done.
I'm surprised it took them so long to get fed up, reaching the mid-career level. I realized doing my PhD that all of academia is a toxic house of cards built on cheap grad student labor, foreign student tuition and grant beggary, and the false promise to students of at least an interesting (if not particularly well-paid) career. If it took you until mid-career to realize this . . . you weren't observant and I don't really feel that sorry that you were asleep for so long.
> and where you're awaiting

That is the sole source of the issue, and exactly what the comment you're replying to talks about.

The problem is that `a += b` desugars to `a = a + b`, so if `b` is an await you get

totalSize = totalSize + await file.getSize();

Since javascript evaluates left to right, it first evaluates `totalSize`, gets zero, then `file.getSize()`, then suspends waiting for the result... at which point the handler for the next file can run, doing the exact same thing, repeat for all files.

SomaFM is an amazing institution. I was introduced to it mid/early 2000's by travelling tech nomad from Germany that passed by Bucharest; I spread it to my family (dad keeps a recurring donation going and we have a family heirloom soma fm t-shirt). Fast forward to now, my 2mo old seems to enjoy Space Station Soma, and, if I'm lucky, falls asleep on Deep Space One.

I hope future generations will get to enjoy it. As others said (tbatchelli), "it's an example of how we believed the Internet is going to be".

Thanks!
To be honest, Pandora has served that role for me over the years. I am always amazed to look back at my Pandora station history to see how it has evolved into different streams/genres, all stimulated from hearing new music through a Pandora channel, and then starting a new station after I liked it. This has created a web of new music I wouldn't have sought out otherwise.

Obviously, I do think that a human DJ may perform this role better in some cases/genres though.
