> Support for legal recreational marijuana nationally has been at a decently strong majority level for a while now, but that hasn't resulted in any action at the federal level.

While it is technically still federally prohibited, and there is some danger of reach-back prosecutions if policy changes, since 2014 state law has effectively controlled because of the enforcement restrictions in the Rohrbacher-Farr Amendment, which has been continuously renewed as part of funding bills, and is a substantive federal action.

> Also, Russia is not the USSR.

Russia is a direct inheritor of the legacy of USSR. Culturally as well as legally. But I digress.

My personal experience is but one data point for you and other westerners. Just be aware that sometimes a spade really is a spade and when I and millions like me tell you that Russia is a piece of shit neighbour then maybe just maybe we are on to something more so than American born, basement dwelling teenage edgelords who tell you otherwise?

So, I don't want to sound ungrateful But the what you say is true for ALL the roads someone else has traveled. It's true for electronics and learning the french horn and bread-making. It's true for making jewellery, learning to sew, to cook thai cuisine, and grinding your own optics. That's why the "apathy" in the list of emotions. I want to marvel at others who dwell in interesting spaces, without feeling the need to join them. I know I could, and it's tempting. But I already have a long list of interests, historical and current. Sailing, billiards, photography, piano, writing. I also know how to write in cursive, drive a stick, and change a diaper with one hand. I get that more is available; I want it, and I don't want it.
> Yeah, exactly this. Open Source developers don’t care about how you work or what you want your tools to do. They care about what’s fun and interesting to program.

While I agree with this, it's interesting how Blender basically resisted losing focus on boring-but-important things (while keeping the fun and interesting parts). Probably the fact that Blender was originally planned to be a commercial application.
> The three flights guaranteed to have a stag party.

I deliberately picked them as textbook examples. I can fly to pretty much anywhere in Europe for under £50 return. Air travel has gotten incredibly cheap - last time I flew back to Ireland it cost me as much to get to the airport than it did to fly.

> When the people around you are dressed formally it's a sign of respect for the place and for each other, which creates a circle of respectful behavior.

And yet formalwear is often seen at parties, weddings, work holiday nights. Go to a bar in Manhattan, Vegas,LA where people are wearing dresses and suits that cost as much as my car and see the behaviour.

> This is why in my grandfather's time even the poorest folks had "Sunday clothes" and acted a certain way in them.

They behaved a certain way because of the environment they were in, not because of how they were dressed. It was, and still would be unacceptable to show up to church being loud and boisterous, and in my time attending s church(albeit it's been about 20 years) I don't ever recall seeing anyone removed or acting out other than children, despite wearing "normal" clothes.
Agreed. Raw threads are almost always the wrong application-level concurrency abstraction. Actors/Erlang-style concurrency and futures are both much better abstractions for application programmers. I'm also a big fan of threads with compile-time proofs against data races, a la Rust, but I can appreciate it's a lot to learn for many application programmers.

> Perhaps the same course could be run in California and would still attract the same level of cheating as the checkbox style one.

Actually, that's not a hypothetical scenario: School 42, an offshoot of the school GP described with the same cursus, has antennas in both Paris and California.

I wonder if the cheating rates differ between the two.

I have yet to find the highly successful person who did it without working long hours. Sure you might not have to work weekends but the weekdays are very busy. Eventually you can coast on your past accomplishments but the path to get there requires a lot of effort, regardless of the field.
Have you thought about also offering dragonflydb as a library, like sqlite? This would avoid context switching when running everything on the same machine.
There are many kinds of research. Sometimes you need long hours of mindless grinding to get the job done. Sometimes taking a long walk and letting your mind wander is a more productive use for your time. And sometimes you need to return to the work for 10-15 minutes at random hours when the computer finishes whatever it was doing.

If your work is cognitively demanding, there are maybe 20-30 productive hours in a week. If you try working harder, the chances are the marginal value of the extra hours becomes negative in the long term. You can get more productive hours by also doing less demanding work, but then there is a risk that the low-value work will take priority and reduce the time you can spend on demanding tasks. Especially when there are external deadlines involved.

Getting scooped is something many people are afraid of but which rarely happens in practice. Except maybe if you are working on some ultra-fashionable topics. I can't remember a single instance of it happening to anyone in my 15 years of string algorithms, space-efficient data structures, and their applications in bioinformatics. If someone manages to solve a problem another person was working on using the same approach as that person, it's typically years after the original person gave up.
Much of what can usefully be written in C++ cannot be expressed at all in other languages, Rust included. Thus, for serious users, switching would mean a big step down.

Most of the powerful, unique features are there to help encapsulate semantics in libraries, enabling libraries to adapt automatically to circumstances of use without loss of performance. As a result, libraries in C++ can be more powerful and useful. The more a library is used, the more resources are available to optimize and test it, so libraries can become extremely robust.
I fully agree with you. The writing's on the wall for wasteful computing, not just for the obvious SUVs, suburbia or mass-tourism.

Energy cost rules everything. The current deluge of web media and JS-obese apps will one day turn to a careful trickle.

You won’t get that from Chinese research, it’s illegal.

Drew wrote an interesting piece on the mail-based workflow (I linked to it elsewhere on this page). Yes it's been around for awhile, but it also seems like it really works better for certain use-cases.
I just don’t find it plausible that only certain people are capable of love, trust, loyalty, etc. and we should be looking for those kinds of people. It seems more likely that this level of investment is costly and people already have these kinds of relationships.

The argument seems tautological. A good friend is someone who is loyal, trustworthy, etc., so look for these traits. But in reality, everyone has these traits, they just reserve them for a small number of high investment relationships. So the claim is that to make good friends, look for someone who wants to be your friend. Which isn’t that helpful at the end of the day.
> How many professors are conservative or openly religious?

At German universities the answer is actually "quite a number of professors", and being conservative or religious is just as normal and accepted as being on the progressive side.

The major difference, however, is that Conservatism there (fortunately) is still very pro-science and you won't find many climate change deniers, creationists, anti-vaxxers, etc. among conservatives, especially not among educated conservatives. Overall, society is also much less scarred by years and years of relentless culture wars, and the majority of the population clusters in the middle of the political spectrum (i.e., in the range "moderate conservative" to "moderate progressive").

In the US, there seems to have been a vicious circle going on for a long time now with conservatives becoming more and more anti-science, because they perceive universities and most scientists as leftists; and scientists becoming more and more hostile to conservatives, because they perceive them to be waging a war on science. I don't know what started this arms race (i.e., whether universities in the US first became hostile to conservatives, or whether conservatives first turned anti-science), but I find this development incredibly depressing and heartbreaking.
Those are not particularly large industries.

Thermal storage is harder to integrate with renewables because you need a recovery mechanism, i.e. a steam turbine. Because nuke plants already have the turbines, it’s cheaper to collocate the storage there. I could see a future where the nuke and fossil plants are converted into thermal storage facilities without the boilers to reuse the existing turbines (and permits to operate, and interconnection agreements).
Mosquitoes are amazing biological drones, will find a victim by breath and skin smell (ie. toes), will conceal on dark surfaces from a distance so they have a space model of their victim's location, they also search for holes in clothing and bite thru it if possible. If they get too full of blood and heavy will walk to a safe location, will dodge attacks from larger animals, and begin a erratic flight pattern and free-falls to get lost. Also they are born with enough energy to fly a considerable distance.

The article author was basically asking "How can we make new friends?" and mentions sailing, brunch, and borrowing a neighbor's wifi. Whereas you're talking about... going to war. It just feels like you're discussing something quite a bit beyond the article.

I had some close friends among schoolmates, but I wouldn't characterize our relationship as "sacrifice and obligation". What does that even mean to a 12 year old? What does it mean to a college undergrad? I can understand what it means in the military, but that's a rather unique situation in life.

c.1984 my older brother worked in a Baskin-Robbins that had an video game standup console clone of Q*bert.

> Back in the 1980s I saw Ronald Reagan and Tip O'Neill as honorable people who fought hard for opposing views but could also come together and compromise and it just doesn't seem that way today.

Yeah. Up until that point both parties occasionally played hardball, but compromised and made deals to get legislation passed. Afterwards, starting with Gingrich's "Contract with America" one party made "no compromise" a core value to rally the "base" and get them to the polls. Centrist Democrats kept compromising for a while to bring the GOP to the table, but eventually wised up that the goalposts kept being moved and started digging in their own heels. But it is worth noting that as a result of GOP brinksmanship today's Democratic party is largely to the right of Nixon, and Obama and Biden are to the right of Reagan.
Some datacenter world lingo also helps:

With drive bays you'll see: SFF (small form factors, ie 2.5" drives) and LFF (3.5")

Usually written like "12 LFF" for say a server that can hold 12 3.5" drives.

Look out for if it comes with drive trays for the bays or not. They're usually surprisingly cheap because there's a bazillion of them out there but it could be $5-$20 each.

Then there's SAS / Raid controller stuff you need to look out for in regards to compatibility with your configuration.

For example if you're going to run TrueNAS (or whatever it's called nowadays) you'll want to search "XXXXX controller TrueNas compatibility" to stumble upon a thread or some hardware list to hear what people have to say. There actually aren't too many models, or they're clones of each other with a Dell or HP branding label on it, so you're bound to find some stuff, for mainstream stuff sold on ebay anyway.

The hardware will typically be at least power-on tested, which for this kind of equipment is usually good enough, but beyond that your experience will vary.

There will be typical gremlin stuff like an unseated cable which will throw errors and have you wondering if it's a bad drive, or bad install, or whatever... but I think if you're building your own and bringing older gear back to life, you won't be able to avoid that unless you're buying a pre-packaged NAS box.
This is incorrect. Mosquitoes do not kill anyone, but rather the pathogens they carry. They are just the vector.

This is a first. If anything, it seems clear that a FLOSS license such as AGPL achieves exactly the opposite: is highly protective of the users' best interests, both in the short term and long term.

I think the article is spot on about friendships forming from shared context.

However, shared activities are often the precursor to shared context - so joining a swim team or a bike team or any group activity is still a good idea.

Doing shared activities with some regularity is one way to build shared context and ultimately friendship.

Our EV (a Hyundai Ioniq 5) emits an artifical sound, presumably to warn pedestrians, which I find interesting.

It's an attention grabbing electronic hum, swelling, but not overtly threatening. Sounds something like a well tuned very resonant transformer. It's also not too annoying to the car owner. I'd love to know the backstory of how these sounds are created and what sort of testing goes into it.

On the same note, the light saber noise from Star Wars was allegedly inspired by an idle video projector.

“Immediately something went off in my mind and I had a feeling for what they would sound like,” Burtt said. “In the booth where we projected the films, those projectors made a hum…the motors would sit there with this magical, mysterious humming sound… I thought ‘that’s probably what a lightsaber would sound like.’”

Accomplishes the goal of preventing a cloud provider from stealing customers, but also ensures customers don't get caught in an "always tomorrow" trap when the deadline comes and the company realizes it only hurts them to fully share it.
