Wiki article is interesting, but it does not list two important cost elements.

When there is no wind, we need some other source of energy (for now we don't have any practical energy storage - we don't have batteries and pump storage can work only if we have a big lake on the hill and the other at the bottom of it), this is also cost of having wind power plant.

Since it is not easy to plan upfront when and how big energy deficit might happen, we need to purchase energy on request and this is expensive.

There is also another problem: what if it is very windy and you can add that much energy to the grid? Easy, you just turn off some windmills, the problem is that wind power plants owners does not like that idea, so they also want money if production needs to be lowered beneath some level. Obviously there is some margin, nuclear/coal power plants have some means to slow/speed up electricity production, but only to some extent.

The irony is that we have a energy source, which is "magic", it is clean, predictable, we know how to operate it - nuclear energy plants, but for some reason we are chasing some silver bullet with horrible energy density, that looks bad and is not reliable.

If eco people were not fighting nuclear energy for last 50 years we would have been now in much better shape today. People who wanted to work on nuclear plants in the academia were treated like Holocaust deniers, so we have seen hardly any progress in the field for a long time, that's why we don't have any good way to handle nuclear wastes except storage (if they are radiating, there is energy there, why not to find a way to use it?).
No engineers are situated in Norway for Opera AFAIK.

They say 2 generations need to pass between large wars reoccurrence on the planet. 1st generation that largely participated in the war will never do it again, whatever the cost. 2nd generation gets very strong message from 1st generation about true horrors of war, so it is much more careful. 3rd generation looses that direct connection and feedback from veterans, grandfathers, etc... so naturally they think of war as something that is minor inconvenience at best... And through the ignorance of 3rd generation - here we come. 80 years have passed since the last world war. Sadly, our time is up.

I find it really painful to see these kinds of catastrophic, systemic failures. All the warning signs were there, a fairly large number of people were aware of the problem, and he was just allowed to continue.

I find it hard to avoid conspiratorial thinking in cases like this (did someone powerful shut down the investigation?), and in some cases (e.g. Epstein) that thinking seems to be vindicated. In other cases (e.g. Cosby) it seems like more of a failure of our collective conscience.
Not sure but I’ve made something more ugly.

Once upon a time at $workplace we had a production and development LAN and we had two PC’s sitting on our desks, one for prod and one for dev.

Now there was a special SMB share to move stuff between the two networks but trying to copy something from one Pc to the other was tedious.

So of course I wrote a magic clipboard utility that used a file on that SMB share as the clipboard “storage”. Running the utility on both PCs allowed me to use copy-paste between the two PCs…
Really begs the question what Visual Studio Code did right and what Atom did wrong.
Simple, cheap, clean, and effective are pretty much the best metrics to optimize technology for. "New" is not a desirable attribute in a technology.

Though I would argue that current wind is extremely new, in the advanced manufacturing methods for such massive structures, in the design of blades and placement on wind farms. And for flaring offshore wind, the engineering is truly impressive. Thinking that modern wind turbines are centuries old tech is like thinking that nuclear power is centuries old tech because it boils water to generate mechanical force.

But again, "new" is not the desirable property, it's only a means to other better attributes.
> Unfortunately it is not

Words are cheap, and it's easy to lie about "oh, the decommissioning process has started, we just can't back out".

It's not true. If you look at their "analysis", it has gems like "fuel might be more expensive in the future".
If Russia turned off their NG and oil, Germany could absolutely keep those plants running for decades, with minimal or no safety risk.
I used to say that investing some time in becoming proficient with Emacs (the One True Editor!) or vim will deliver returns over a lifetime-spanning career. But Visual Studio Code has already joined them and it is a pretty sensible editor platform to learn.

Also totally subject for discussion: I suspect VS Code will see more innovation in years to come.

As much as I really really dislike systemd, bash is not the answer.

I think we should try to do something better, I’m certain nobody will agree on a good language to use but I might propose starlark (a dialect of python, which recently got a rust implementation of the language thanks to Facebook).

I should add: I’m quite adept at bash (I have the LinkedIn skill badge! (This is a joke)) but I can agree with people who dislike it, there are too many edge cases, it’s not easy to understand and while expressive and powerful: evidently we should have something that is easy too.
You could argue all the money printing and zero interest rates gave companies easy capital access. People rail on them for doing share buybacks, however these companies have also went on to capture international markets, and even companies.

Well yeah, if you have two very similar products (editors/IDEs based on web technology), one of them much more successful than the other, putting a lot of effort into the less-used product sounds a bit hard to justify...
I’m not American, but yes, it’s a specific Americanism — in that American police regulation happens at the state level, and the federal government doesn’t really get a say in it, and so (as far as I understand) cannot impose such a sanctioning body as a part of federal policy.

(The FBI, in its role of being external federal auditors for police corruption/malfeasance — but with no power over police departments, only the power to charge individual officers with federal criminal acts if that applies — is essentially the best the federal government can do.)

But if there just happened to be a private-corporation licensing body operating in multiple states (and thus performing “interstate commerce”), which police officers in those states were already members of… well, then the federal government would be perfectly within its rights to regulate that corporation! As long as they kept it at arm’s length, and didn’t attempt to nationalize it.
> People walking down the street bleeding need help not a decision to make.

As someone who has walked down a street bleeding before, please do not try to take that choice away from me.

I have a feeling some of this story is missing. It is being presented to support a specific narrative rather than examined to see what can be learned from it.

How bad was the cut? Why was the person resistant ro recieving care? Where responders pressuring a resistant person to accept care or did the activists convince a compliant person to resist?

Reality is complicated and the nuance matters in situations like these.
> Financial independence is about the ability to live a good life without having to worry about next's day food.

Worrying about paying for food day to day isn’t why people seek out high-stress, high-pay jobs that are often in expensive cities.

If people just want enough financial security to reliably put food on the table there are a million ways to do that without getting a demanding career.

The people throwing themselves into demanding jobs and chasing promotions to maximize their salary aren’t doing it just to put food on the table.

Sort of?

They maintain a trademark on the name Visual Studio Code and some other bits. And it is maintained by a Microsoft team.

But the code itself is MIT licensed. You can build it yourself. I have. There are one or two forks of it out there.
This makes me feel conflicted.
Well said. It's equally hyperbolic and unrealistic to require poor people to buy and maintain an automobile, which is basically what has happened because our public transit sucks.

Countless hacks hanging off one giant MVC.

And having a few core devs with veto powers has helped a bunch with it never getting bogged down with bad decisions. I tried to get some iffy stuff tacked on but they (mostly Campbell) would be “umm, what’s this good for?” And don’t even think about adding a null check to prevent a segfault without getting permission first, like, signed in blood…in triplicate.
Because the left has gone so far left that everyone looks like they are far right comparatively. So by having the left come more towards the center, the whole political spectrum would shrink back towards the middle.
The key word there being “disclosure”, if you aren’t telling someone else, you aren’t violating an NDA.
A lack of releases could mean dead, but it could also mean finished. As in, complete: not in need of more features, and having no bugs of sufficient severity to bother fixing.

Finished is a state more software should aspire to reach. Sadly, with the advent of connectivity in everything, it's getting rare for even firmware to be finished.
We've heard that song and dance before. Firefox features always take the same path: start as regular part of the browser, then accessible through an extension, then you have to set an about:config flag for the extension to work, then you have to set a flag and modify some configuration files, and then you can go fuck yourself if you needed that.

Livingston is far from the "lifestyle anarchism" that Bookchin warned about

https://theanarchistlibrary.org/library/murray-bookchin-soci...

that is, Livingston provides answers (that can be applied at the workgroup level) to the problem of people being over their heads with technology aimed specifically at technologists who are in the belly of the beast and are facing the problem directly.

If you want some top down answer to the problem you might as well pray to God because that's as likely to work as the alternatives.
Probably a bit of both if I was to hazard a guess. MS has VS Code, which is definitely the elephant in the room as far as go to IDEs in the environments I’ve been in lately. So right now they’re spending engineering time on both VS Code and Atom, so they may as well focus their resources on the more popular one.
I just want to put a word in for Marc Schmidt. He's a great engineer, with great product sense. This project will move fast, and if you think it's missing something essential, it's probably on the roadmap and will be realized quickly.
It seems like somehow the people who complain they have been silenced are always the loudest these days.
This makes me sad as I very much prefer the atom approach to the git and github panels than the vscode approach. vscode is much faster for typescript development though.
I feel a particular mix of disappointment and loss(?) every time I encounter an interesting link on a long-dead site only to find that the target, never saved, is lost to time. And the same for pages with crucial, unsaved images. Better the proverbial ignorance, I guess.

Though, have you looked at the Wayback Machine Site Map and URLs views for your blog? On the off chance that the Alexa crawler could already extract URLs from JavaScript back then, there's a possibility that additional requests were captured that can't be played back in the Wayback Machine. (This all assuming the site was served over HTTP to the crawler--otherwise it would have only gotten an 'unsupported' page, right?)
I certainly understand your skepticism. Everyone is busy and can't go chasing after every shiny new object. My system is faster for a number of reasons.

1) I have a unique way of storing the data in a compact format. Each value is de-duped and reference counted to save space and speed lookups.

2) I have a number of algorithms that use hashing, bloom filters, and other techniques in combination that I think are superior.

3) I utilize the multi-core features of modern processors for individual queries. With multi-threading I can run different parts of the same query in parallel. Other DBs like Postgres have made some progress in this area, but I think they have run into trouble trying to port their old architecture to take advantage of this.

So if you have a query such as:

"SELECT col5, col7, col10 FROM <table> WHERE (col5 ILIKE 'A%') AND (col7 < 10000) AND (col10 ILIKE '%Hello%);

the system can find the matching keys for each column in parallel. Like I said, there might be instances where the same query on another system will be faster, but on Didgets a broad range of queries are about 4x - 10x faster in my tests.

It will certainly take more than a few minutes to evaluate every feature, but it should only take a few minutes for someone to figure out that I am not just blowing smoke.
I do, it was quite cool! What stuck most with me is the CSS color picker.

Sublime Text gets my vote. Pretty hard to go back to anything else after using it.

It’s not free, but if you’re really strapped for cash you can use it like most people use Winrar, at least until the guilt overcomes you.

I actually prefer what they're doing. Consider most open source projects. Our involvement with them goes something like:

1. I need feature X

2. I find library WeLoveX

3. Is WeLoveX a good investment for my larger product?

4. Ambiguity happens here

The ambiguity happens because I have one prominent indicator: release activity. If it's changing lots, does that mean it's active and a solid foundation? Or does it mean it's actually probably not quite ready for prime time yet and hasn't found stability? On the flip, if there's very little release activity, does that mean it's dead, the developers have moved on and maybe there's something better out there? Or does it mean it just does its job really really well and doesn't need a constant stream of tweaks?

It's nice to have a general statement of disposition towards the product by the original authors.
I don't give out my real name or phone without a very good reason. Could the user just be trying to preserve some basic privacy, or does the nature of your site rule that out?

While you may have a point that its harder to find a BSD person, I would say because BSD has a cathedratic model, it is much much easier to get up to date with it. While Linux has sporadic documentation, you have to go scavenge through the entire internet looking for answers, everything is in one place, the freebsd forum. ports itself even comes with a file containing bugfixes and notes, telling you what breaks and what precautions to take with each software. The bazaar model is hard to grasp and learn from. GNU has pushed their business model to be books. It means you have incomplete documentation (man pages) everywhere. You either buy the books to know how things work internally, or hopefully someone somewhere jotted down your problem/solution, albeit in SO, a ML, some book or who knows where.
If we allow SMRs as a feasible tech, that aren't shipping and have no reliable cost estimates, we may as well also assume that advanced storage tech that isn't even shipping will be feasible. Storage companies have a far better track record of delivering on their promises than the nuclear industry does, so the we must assume that engineering of nuclear is too difficult to provide reliable cost estimates ahead of time.
If you look at the contribution activity it dropped off after acquisition of GitHub by Microsoft and it seems that development was redirected to VSCode.

You might be interested in Project Gemini:
https://gemini.circumlunar.space/

It is gaining momentum, and I'm getting increasingly invested in it.

Gemini is a new internet protocol which:
* Is heavier than gopher
* Is lighter than the web
* Will not replace either
* Strives for maximum power to weight ratio
* Takes user privacy very seriously

It leans more towards the gopher end of the spectrum than the web. The markup language is dirt simple, basically markdown with headings, links on separate lines, quotes, and preformatted text.

I heard that Mozilla recently received $500m from Google. The resources required to make a modern browser are mind-blowing. Implementing a client for Gemini is a one-man project.

In Gemini, Content Is King (TM)

Everyone who uses VSCode has surely used an IDE before. It just turns out they aren’t better in every way, and possibly not in the ways that matter.

VSCode plug-ins just have more eyeballs and work done on them for various ecosystems, for example. Especially for less common languages and features.
Every now and then I’m reminded of why I decided to stop chasing the shiny new and just go back to emacs.
What really boggles my mind about Rosetta is that it correctly handles x86_64 instructions produced at run-time. So, for example, the Clozure Common Lisp compiler for the x86 works under Rosetta. Even the IDE works, which really blows my mind.

There is one thing that doesn't work, and that is code that relies on floating point exceptions, which Rosetta does not correctly emulate. It's a curious oversight for a system that is otherwise beyond impressive.
