> Title: “30% More Performance”

The article title appears incorrect.

Looking at the table in the article, it’s only be 10-15% more performant (not “30%”) for the same power used.

The “30%” is how much more energy efficient it would be at the old performance (23%-30%).
Its hard to tell with this particular cult.

Probably not a literal single point, but I would assume any solar field would have a relatively low number of shore connections.

But it does for the argument of a language being fast, which is what we are talking about here. I don't think it is an appropriate argument to say "Python is fast, look at numpy", when the core pieces are written in C/Fortran. It is disingenuous, at least to me.
Author here, a good way to understand algebraic effects is as "resumeable exceptions." In this case the expected_value handler says to run `f ()` and whenever that computation "throws" a `flip ()` effect to handle it by resuming the computation with the value true returned for flip. The continuation continues as normal, subsequent uses of flip are also handled until the computation finishs. Then we evaluate the rest of `+ resume false) / 2.0` and resume the computation (a second time!) in the same place, this time with the value false. Finally, we add both values returned and divide by two to get the expected value.

This way of computing expected value works because for each flip we essentially have a case-split: the value can be true or false with a 50-50 chance, so the expected value of the whole thing is is 0.5 * the result of the true branch + 0.5 * the result of the false branch!

This is more of a fun use of effects than a practical one. If you're still curious about effects, check out the full page on them here: https://antelang.org/docs/language/#algebraic-effects which includes some actually useful effects like State, Generators, looping constructs, parsers, etc.
Sure, any organized group can hire a lawyer to defend it's members. We are basically saying the same thing. But that is not where the power of a Union comes from. If it were then any class action against a company by it's employees would be a "union".

Unions have power because they can negotiate as a group. Those negotiations allow them to do things like get an employment contract for all their members in a company which then affords those members legal rights they would not have under regular employment. If your union doesn't have that legal contract and does not have a practical way to negotiate one then your union only has the power of a larger voice than a single individual and no more legal rights than a single individual at the company does.

well, luckily for the US, we have massive hydro power dams in the west that are low because of 20 years of drought, so we can actually do pumped storage.

Ideally, we would pump salt water from oceans to the salt water reservoirs and use surplus energy to desalinate to refill the fresh water ones.

> In reality this is one of the least shocking extraditions

That’s not really how I see it. The case is shocking in that it has revealed that some rights that we thought that we had, cannot be enforced in law.

The US is exploiting a legal loophole in that while the extradition treaty forbids political extraditions, the UK has not incorporated that prohibition into domestic legislation. Therefore the court of first instance approved [in principle] the extradition for a political crime (espionage). However as I understand it, this aspect has not yet been appealed by Assange.

In my opinion, if this case had happened 5 years ago, then under presidency of Hale, Assange would had a decent chance of challenging it in the Supreme Court. However under the presidency of Reed and in the aftermath of the prorogation case, the Supreme Court has become extremely reluctant to deviate from government policy, as they are afraid that the Government will simply abolish the Supreme Court altogether. So I doubt they will stick their neck out for Assange when they didn’t for e.g. Begum or in the recent Rwanda case.

Pass is a fascinating project. Can't praise it enough. I've been using pass for eternity and have a big chunk of automation regarding passwords/token/keys for my hobby and work projects. For example I use pass to store TOTP secrets and get a PIN in a sane way. Or use pass to store ansible vault password with ANSIBLE_VAULT_PASSWORD_FILE and a little script to insert password automatically during playbooks runs. Also our CI's numerous automation scripts handle PASS_FILE environ variable to get creds from a pass.

You are just old and grumpy. There is a heck of a lot more use for a GPU other than gaming, including content creation, which also benefits from higher resolution and dynamic range displays, though X and Wayland can't handle HDR yet. Graphics libraries like Skia, browsers, the Android emulator and so on all take advantage of your GPU. OpenCL, CUDA, mixed-precision computing, transcoding, ray-tracing are all accelerated with a GPU.

And does the US therefore have jurisdiction over the whole internet? If Assange did those things while in the UK, and they are not illegal in the UK he should be released. The World Police need their fingers snapping. I know the US doesn't care what the rest of the world thinks, but it should. We only pay tribute to the US (by letting them syphon off a % of all of our credit card fees for instance) because we see them as a legitimate ally. We could change that and it will speed up the decline of the US.
Assange is accused of leaking in 2010 documents obtained by Chelsea Manning; secret documents revealing various war crimes, lies and corruptions on the part of the U.S. and UK governments and their allies. His crime is in addition helping Ch.M. cover her as a source. (Something that many main media journals guarantee in their own guidelines how to submit leaked documents).

How each thread with this news is not covered with outrage of people supposedly standing for freedom, justice and humanity? I denounce and condemn this prosecution on these principles. It is surreal that main media go along with encouraging public support for this process.

No.

The table says, if you maintain the same power usage you’d get a 10-15% more performance. If you maintain the same performance, you save 23-30% power previously used.
Hm, in particular see the 'excessive misuse' section. I (not person you responded to) haven't seen it in this 'mislead' use before though, only in much less extreme cases than the film but still in the spirit of it, 'denying reality/the other's experience' etc. - I thought that was what people objected to but was a lost cause (until now, thanks).
> "I don't think constantly raising and lowering the pantograph is a practical solution."

I don't see why not. There are actually urban routes in London (London Overground) that do this multiple times on every journey! Switching between overhead AC electrification used in North London and the older third-rail DC electrification used in South London.

> "Having lines with spotty overhead is very error prone and reliability is a big factor in rail. "

But that's where batteries come in. Being able to keep moving under your own power if there's a problem with the overhead wires adds a lot of robustness/redundancy.

Congratulations on your awareness and reaching out for help. Asking for help is the opposite of giving up.

Just this week a client told me that despite the external world crashing down around them, crypto vaporzing the majority of their net worth, and major uncertainty, our work together has in just a few sessions given them a deep sense of calm and confidence and capacity to take on these new challenges.

Here is a frame that has been helpful for me and my clients (I’m the personal coach to some of the most interesting and kind hearted Unicorn technical Founders in the world).

What if what you’re calling “feelings” are actually exiled parts of yourself that are returning now exactly because you have the space and resources (internally and externally) to integrate them back into who you are?

What if it’s like you’ve reached a stage in your personal heros journey that requires you pickup these capacities before you can move on to the next challenges?

What if instead of trying to “get rid of them”, which is mirroring what culture did to these parts of you previously, you were to WELCOME and invite in the feelings like old friends, wise teachers or gurus?

Could you breathe into the feelings, journal, ask them what they are here to teach you or what they need?

Could you give them voice?

Could you take them into a Breathwork practice?

And ideally, could you get support of a mentor who can help guide your integration?

Is it possible that on the other side is a much more whole, loving compassionate version of you?

Could doing this work also put you in the best position to be able to help solve the challenges you see around you?

For whatever technical skill, you are not an opportunist.

Being good at making money in life is like being good at monopoly. Not everyone has or wants that kind of time, though you will see, if you play the game real hard there is money everywhere.

Are you sure you know how to live a quality life? If you spend whatever you have and don’t bother tracking your waste, it won’t matter how much you’re paid.

Living a lean and frugal lifestyle has always been a mark of achievement among the most fulfilled of humanity. Your stuff and the ease of burning cash are human blight, not a gauge of worth.

That said, you must troll for opportunities, or be so well known they come knocking. Know how to bill. Once others agree to work with you, Send invoices immediately just for talking to them (minimal four hour invoice, if the project is worth a few thousand $, requesting a portion up front is not unusual). Keep invoicing, keep doing the work.

You’ll only have to hustle to get started. People who like to pay for work, like those who can deliver consistently, reliably, and without fuss.

Brace yourselves: new UK data laws are coming
I like the general idea (I generally would just only accept functional cookies across the board 99% of the time so it would be good for sites to just be able to pick that up from browser settings) but it's unclear whether the UK actually has the clout to get browsers and websites to actually support this, probably to create a whole web standard around it, etc. Particularly if it might end up contradicting EU legislation on the matter.

Edit: also I suppose if marketing cookies etc. are important to websites then they will probably nag you for access to them if you've blanket denied them. And it's not clear that this will actually be better than the cookie banners.

String interpolation works by expanding to the concatenation of several strings. So a string like "the ${foo}." is expanded to "the " ++ foo ++ ".".
There are some things I'd like to change about the current design. Namely it should probably defer to a StringBuilder of sorts, and it should possibly do it lazily so that interpolation can be used in log calls without worry of whether logging is enabled.

These are all checked at compile-time though, since interpolation can only be done inside string literals we can check for all uses of ${expr} inside literals and ensure e.g. that expr is convertable to a string. Since these are only in string literals, all placeholders are known in advance so there are none that cannot be checked at compile-time. (A string like "foo \${" ++ "foo}" must both escape the interpolation begin ${ and is concatenated to the actual string "foo ${foo}" with no interpolation. Otherwise it would be very confusing having interpolation happening in unintended circumstances (and would make string operations less efficient by having to check for this)).

“This is great for crypto. All the ponzis are going down and the legit companies are the ones that remain”

Reality: The public trust on crypto erodes more and more when one of these companies goes down. There is no greater fool to make your hodl-ed assets valuable.
Why sarcasm?

Centralized crypto "banking" institutions are the worst of both worlds. You are giving away your money to someone else, and there are no regulations to protect you from being screwed over by them.

With DeFi (decentralized finance) you have transparency over what the smart contract does.

(Of course you have to be careful because a lot of things claim to be decentralized but are actually centralized)

Good news: we aren’t really.

When I first started using Linux, graphics drivers were mostly drivers for XFree86. Today, the modern Linux graphics stack with kms/drm is used by most drivers, and now Xorg can use kms+drm instead.

Same for input drivers… but now most people on Xorg are using libinput, which is what Wayland compositors use, too. Libinput handles your mouse, graphics tablet, touchpad, keyboard, etc.

Even Pipewire! When pulseaudio started, a huge obstacle was indeed just buggy audio drivers. Undoubtedly we still have those. But also, it’s a much better situation today than it was. Also, a lot of the ideas already existed in JACK, Pulse, etc.

So while a lot of stuff is indeed newer and still needing to mature, the typical Wayland desktop shares a lot in common with a modern Xorg setup thanks to gradual improvements.
Most languages expect you to have a high quality web server between the outside world and your code. Nginx, Apache, IIS, etc are extremely well tested and secure. They can serve up assets fast, cache, and much more.

A popular way to host now is to have an nginx server or process that accepts requests from the outside and then makes a request to a less capable web server for the app internally to provide a response, also known as proxying. This provides a clear barrier with outside world in one very concise config file.

What redbean apparently has is a sufficiently high quality web server included, so they can handle requests from top to bottom in one package (vertically integrated).
The text tries to introduce the idea of a “narrow waist” as an architecture pattern. But I don’t fully understand how the author distinguishes this concept from similar ones, and some of the examples even seem to contradict the principles.

It supposedly solves the N*M problem (so it’s an interface?), but it can’t be statically typed (so the interface has to be implicit?), and success stories are HTML5 and the x86 ABI (so it does require explicit specification after all, and huge amounts of it? Just look at the size of that Intel ABI book…), but also, it must be plaintext (so not like x86 at all?).

I’m not trying to be mean because maybe there’s something there that I miss, but frankly, I don’t get it, at least not yet.

I would say that the legal and constitutional frameworks of the US and China have some slight differences. In fact, basically I would say that if you're going to claim that the US laws and legal system won't give you a fair trial, you're essentially saying that there is no legal system in the world where you can get a fair trial and therefore you're advocating for Assange to essentially never face any legal scrutiny.
Germany, Belgium and Denmark also have quite a bit of renewable energy and the sun is usually similar, so they usually don't really need it when the Netherlands has too much either.
Phone makers don't need to innovate if they can just stop supporting the devices you bought in order to support the "next-gen", even though the next gen is very similar to the last. That way you can pay more for the same thing.

Also, our wallets are the ultimate ballot. Convenience and perceived novelty clearly trump reusability and sustainability.

So long as companies have to show year over year growth in revenue, we will continue to see wasteful corporate practices and terrible designa meant to be thrown away. The incentives are all wrong, and trying to get companies to work more sustainably is akin to asking them to swim against the tide..what are they, salmon??

Edit: "A little" is inaccurate, the probability of the remaining lifetime being at least T is actually 25%[1]. And all this is assuming a "Lindy proportion" of 1 (which seems reasonable) and that no other information is known.

[1] Calculation: Lindy proportion 1 corresponds to a Pareto distribution with probability distribution function `a / x^(a+1)` where a = 2 and the range of x is [1, ∞). The cumulative distribution function is `1 - 1/x^a`. So the probability of the remaining lifetime being less than or equal to the observed lifetime is CDF(2) = 0.75.
