Depends. I like JS ok. I really like Lisps. I miss doing Ruby sometimes. I've been doing more Python lately and find it rather distasteful, all this tooling is just so so complicated for very dubious guarantees/benefit. Not all of us are a sum of tropes.

The main thing that I find frustrating is that the actual act of programming in an impure language is so much harder. Haskell is def harder to learn, like 10x at least imo. Especially for a mainstream dev. But, once you know it, there is a simplicity to what you're doing which is very easy to do. I find myself having to just think so hard when writing python. "what exacty does this function do? Oh it calls this other function, I have to go check that one." etc. And then with a myriad of control flow issues, and random syntactic "sugar" to contend with...

There are a number of haskell companies, not just Jane street, and they do pretty well. If you don't follow the space closely, it is not surprising that you don't know about it. But there are. Not nearly as many as Python or whatever, but the appeal to the popular is def problematic: mostly because, at one point python itself was a radical new thing, full of skeptics like "if its so great, why don't more people use it".

Many ideas from haskell/typed fp are slowly making their way out into the larger community. Witness Swift, Kotlin, Java, numerous features in C#, etc. People like them.

Its fine if you don't like Haskell and don't want to use it. But its not an insane choice.

Haskell community really needs to do better at making it easier to get started though. Eventually I hope to contribute to that.
Isn't that a little concerning?
I'm not speaking about cost. I'm talking about the scarcity of the parts and the manufacturing capability required to make anti-tank weapons.

I agree tanks seem to be very vulnerable in the current Ukraine war.

That said, drones cannot replace tanks. Maybe something else will, but drones cannot make breakthrough advances, nor accompany and shield advancing infantry. Drones may be cheap tank killers, but I don't think they can replace tanks.

I had a friend who was trying to explain Marxism to me (e.g. capitalists rip you off by paying less value than you make) and I told him that (1) I knew Marxism pretty well and (2) I had just worked at a place that was not able to use me effectively thus I was not earning my keep. I told him that I very much wanted to be "underpaid" in the Marxist sense because I'd have a chance of keeping my job and having a sane work situation.

It's easily possible because most energy we produce today is wasted as heat when burning it and dumping the carbon into the atmosphere.

Since we're going to stop doing that, by electrifying lots of things that currently burn fuel, we can achieve both goals at the same time.

The text on top of the graph you cite says this:

"Primary energy is calculated based on the 'substitution method' which takes account of the
inefficiencies in fossil fuel production by converting non-fossil energy into the energy inputs required if
they had the same conversion losses as fossil fuels."

It would be clearer to reduce the fossil fuel amounts by that percentage, since we currely don't use that energy, and in fact expend more energy trying to get rid of it as waste heat in many cases.

And, note the difference betwene energy and electricity, they say electricity will grow by nearly 3x ("To achieve this, total electricity generation increases over two-and-a-half-times between today and 2050").

You should look up recent graphs of renewable growth, with hydro seperated out, to see that your quick mock-up looks positively sedate by the recent standards of growth.

https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/annual-change-renewables?...

global renewables including hydro. Solar and Wind are barely noticeable until 2000, when wind, then solar (in 2010) grow from nothing to octuple previous hydro within about a decade:

https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/annual-change-solar?tab=c...

https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/annual-change-wind?tab=ch...

They have an article about why this is occuring too: https://ourworldindata.org/cheap-renewables-growth

I didn't choose IEA to demonstrate because they are the only outlier that support my point. My whole claim is that even the boring, cautious industry analysts are saying broadly the same thing.

I think their assumptions about carbon capture are silly and more renewables will be built instead, but even their numbers make it clear than nuclear is a sideshow at best.
If I have learned something is that software, not the language, sells the language.

Mainstream languages have killer software (Spring, Synfony, Pandas, whatever) which then prompts adoption.

Languages for mainstream programming are less of an issue than the software.

Haskell, CommonLisp, etc, plenty of great languages lack that killer software or clear benefits over other mainstream languages.
> One-on-one interaction would naturally occur as the casual hanging out with shared groups of friends or parties. I honestly don't really see it as backwards if anything I think it really takes the pressure off from the two people to somehow keep interesting conversation for long periods of time.

The problem I see is the poor odds of finding someone within your extended friend group attractive, in terms of personality, character, physical qualities, etc. I suspect others must feel similarly, because I think we wouldn't have people dating strangers if they were satisfied with the options within their social circle.

If I'm romantically uninterested in 499 out of 500 women in my age group, I'd have to get extremely lucky to have my social circle grow to include someone I would consider dating. So instead, I pursue any opportunities as they arise; from experience (all long term romantic relationships): the coffee shop, in line to the ticketing kiosk at the airport, online dating, etc. I imagine I'm not alone.
I see tests as executable documentation/specification. TDD reinforces that view.

i.e. rust even has the specification of parts of its functionality using asserts (in the docs):

The only reason you'd use tanks or infantry in a modern war is that you don't have enough drones and missiles.

Maybe you're willing to climb into a tank after what we've seen in Ukraine recently, but that's all you, pal.
Nuclear in inherently vulnerable to politics, mismanagement and attempts at cover-up. As it happened in Fukushima as well as Chernobyl.

Because it's centralized, quite isolated from the public eye and with the potential to cause invisible environmental impact.

The website actually started as a sort of joke by someone in the kernel community. Then it stuck around.

For example, I found it useful professionally. We're releasing a new hardware model. We're doing some in-depth performance tuning/evaluation. To understand our performance characteristics, I needed us to break down the performance change into improvement due to new hardware and reduction due to new mitigations.

I think EU specifically dropped it's defense and R&D budgets and became too weak, making land grabs by Russia possible.

There's a reason Russia feels good blustering about attacking Finland.
The article talks about Torvalds disliking CVS and Subversion but never making himself clear about the reasons, and later suggests that the most important "not fully articulated" reason was speed.

But I think a more important reason for him was that he felt that CVS and SVN implicitly came with a development model where a small group of people has official commit privileges, while he very strongly wants a model without that.

See for example what he says here: https://www.tag1consulting.com/blog/interview-linus-torvalds...

Getting more tanks ain't it. More war also not it.

Russian empire needs to be dismantled. But unlikely UKR waging war on russia will do it.
Ah, USA problems. I don’t think anywhere else has decommissioned 3G just yet, though some plan to next year or so; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3G#Decline_and_decommissions suggests the EU may even be planning to keep 2G alive as a fallback, which is an interesting decision.

I have used at least three phones (two Android, one PinePhone on Arch) that allegedly support VoLTE, but I have never had a phone call do anything other than drop to 3G on the Optus network in Australia (through at least three different carriers). I’m not sure quite what’s up with that, but I vaguely recall some kind of insanity about VoLTE not having any baseline codecs and carriers being able to operate a device whitelist and idiotic user-hostile things like that. I’m fuzzy on details, and have never tried asking the telco why it doesn’t work. I really dislike how opaque everything is in mobile telephony.
How many years will it take to replace the 700 or so tanks lost in Ukraine? Russia is estimated to have 3,000 or so tanks currently operating, they are closing in on losing 1/4th their number. It’s unclear how many of their roughly 10k in storage are still working and whether making new tanks or repairing those will have the same chip shortage problems.
This is sort of my reference point from a salient and personal perspective on why government's have departments of defense.

A soldier is tens of thousands of dollars of training and gear. A bullet costs pennies. Thus soldiers have no place on the battlefield?

I think you should watch Chieftains video and read some military theory. Simply being vulnerable to less expensive weapon systems does not make a unit/vehicle/soldier useless or obsolete.
My first memory of her is a speech she gave with Clinton in the early 90s at the Alameda Naval Air Station promising not to close it. Both her and Clinton soon supported closing it. I wouldn't say her endorsement has meant much to me ever

What I worry is that talk about "Medicare For All" and "Single Payer" and other phrases might run into a similar problem the Affordable Care Act had where a lot of people didn't know that ObamaCare was just a nickname for the ACA, and there was a slew of people that said they didn't like ObamaCare but they liked the ACA.

Tell HN: Instagram wont show pictures of people I follow anymore
...just pictures of random people on the social network.

That's sad; Instagram is the last social network that I still use. Why do they do this? Why is important to them to show content from people that mean nothing to me?

Are you on any social network? Are you single? I'm asking cause I kinda use Instagram as a way of meeting and contacting people. Is pretty easy to not use a social network when you are in a committing relationship.

Love to hear the HN community on this issue.
They're all cryptocurrency jobs? Figures.
I sympathise with the locals woes but you need it to apply to existing and old homes to have the intended effect. They want the ruling to only apply to new buildings which feels more like a get rich quick scheme for homeowners than a change that will help young people which presumably will have to compete on the old house market against investors.
We have no idea what a major economy like the current US would look like if it went on a real war footing. According to this [34] we spent 40% of GDP on WWII (equivalent of $5 trillion today) - that would be almost $10 trillion a year now if we did the equivalent. That's absolutely insane numbers, and many, many things would change, and quite quickly.

I wonder how that works as far as risk goes.

The employers asking for folks to work anonymous, could it be that there's a lot more risk with them for other issues compared any non anonymous employers?

I know a dude who is a big believer that every employer is trying to scam him / squeeze out ever last drop of productivity / life out of him. So he plays the same game trying to squeeze out every last bit of money / bouncing from employer to employer looking for the next extra dollar. There's no relationship there with him, his employer, most of his coworkers.

He's managed to jump from big corp (the natural place you find looking to maximize income) to big corp and run into a lot more bad situations than I ever have ...
I don't understand this comment.

The anti-tank weaponry is an order of magnitude less expensive than the tank (some is several orders).

The M1A2 Abrams has a unit cost of around 10 million USD (numbers from 2016, so likely higher now).

The drones currently destroying tanks in Ukraine (Bayraktar TB2) had a unit price of around 5 million, although some estimates are as low as 1-2 million per unit delivered to Ukraine at this point (production has ramped up).

notably - the whole drone isn't consumed when a tank is destroyed, so I really suspect we're going to see a drastic ramp up in drone warfare.
>Seems like Moore is still correct

To indirectly answer your question. There is nothing in the Semiconductor sector that measures at 2x every 24 months. Whether that is Performance, Cost or Transistor Density.

And to throw another question, what exactly is Moore’s law? Because in modern day journalism and conversation, the term "Moore’s law" means transistor improvement.

Technically the PhD was part time although most people in my position took 4 to 5 years. This was also the early 90s so times may have changed..

Also, the PR puff piece basically amounts to:

We have 500 roles open for the rest of the year and we will continue to keep those 500 roles open.

And also, we have a great transition plan if you want to quit the company, because your values don’t align with us.

See, they are pirates and not professionals, so it’s a “transition plan” and not a buyout package.
The corporate backing is a good working hypothesis for C, C++, Java, C#, Go, Kotlin, Swift, Dart, JavaScript, TypeScript and Rust. But it doesn't explain how PHP, Python and Ruby became mainstream. Maybe those ones are just outliers, products of a very special period of time when "dynamic" programming languages were popular (and it's easier for a small team to develop such a language) and when the web was growing very fast (and many devs were bored with the "ceremony" of "static" programming languages like Java).
Also a fellow customer of Time4VPS and this is perhaps one of the few times I've seen them mentioned on HackerNews.

That said, with their Storage VPS offerings the OSes that they offer may or may not be suitable for your needs: https://www.time4vps.com/knowledgebase/what-os-do-you-offer/...

Personally I'd suggest that you do not publicly expose such an OS but rather have it act as a NFS mount for another VPS with a newer OS release.

Also, while they offer backups (with restoring them being a manual and paid process), no such option is available for the Storage VPS offering, you can see that much being stated in the FAQ at the bottom of the page.

Once again, I rather enjoy their services and they're a relatively local company so I'm glad to support them, but at the same time Hetzner is pretty much on par with what they offer, with time based billing (instead of per month) and a nice UI: https://www.hetzner.com/storage/storage-box (though I had to verify my ID when I signed up with them, which was inconvenient and actually had my attempt be denied a few years ago until recently when it worked, not sure what that was about)

Furthermore, you might also look at the offerings by Contabo, though their performance isn't exactly excellent and there are setup fees and their UI looks antiquated (but the service itself is okay): https://contabo.com/en/storage-vps/

I think most options out there will have certain drawbacks, since for whatever reason the status quo is to have smaller packages so whatever backing resources the servers have can probably be split up nicely amongst the customers' instances, thus making storage optimized VPSes something of a niche product.

Approx. price per the recommended setups (no public facing EOL distros) for 1TB of data, per month (divided when yearly billing applicable):

Time4VPS (storage VPS + container VPS), new client, monthly: 3.99 EUR + 1.99 EUR = 5.98 EUR
Time4VPS (storage VPS + container VPS), new client, yearly: 3.33 EUR + 1.66 EUR = 4.99 EUR
Time4VPS (storage VPS + container VPS), regular prices, monthly: 7.99 EUR + 3.99 EUR = 11.98 EUR
Time4VPS (storage VPS + container VPS), regular prices, yearly: 6.66 EUR + 3.33 EUR = 9.99 EUR
Hetzner (storage space + VPS): 3.45 EUR + 4.15 EUR = 7.6 EUR
Contabo (300 GB + 700 GB storage VPS): 3.99 EUR + 7.99 EUR = 11.98 EUR
Contabo (1400 GB storage VPS): 12.99 EUR

Out of curiosity, here's an example of what it might cost with block storage offerings:

Hetzner (block storage + VPS): 48.74 EUR + 4.15 EUR = 52.89 EUR
DigitalOcean (block storage + VPS): 96.26 EUR + 4.81 EUR = 101.07 EUR
Vultr (block storage + VPS): 96.26 EUR + 5.78 EUR = 102.04 EUR
Scaleway (block storage + Stardust VPS): 58.40 EUR + 1.82 EUR = 60.22 EUR

(figures might be inaccurate because of VAT, just an example of the ballpark that we're in)
IMHO, the process of software project development is iterative and non-linear. Writing some docs followed by some code, then writing/editing more docs, then more code, tests, experiments ... rinse and repeat. I found that any rigid structure like docs-before-code or code-before-docs to be counterproductive.
You can't occupy an objective with a drone or a missile. You can't control a city with a drone.

Infantry and AFVs that support them will never go away. They may change but war isn't just about destruction.
.NET languages, C++ and Delphi are the elephant in the room regarding Windows.
Well on that point I agree completely, although mainly because I think it's a good idea to have a diversity of supply and not because it's the most cost effective.

From what I've seen, the cheapest solution is a few square meters' cross section of HVDC encircling the planet, but that would almost certainly take a big increase in global metal mining even on these time scales and even when ignoring the political issues.
If war was the predictable outcome, Ukraine should probably have been more dovish towards Russian-speaking Ukrainians in the East, ie. not banning Russian language, not shelling cities.

Obviously what Russia has done is reprehensible, but if Ukraine saw war as incoming I don't see why they took these aggravating steps.
No, the "remainder" that is nuclear is the 10% that renewables don't cover. The renewables other than solar/wind are things like hydro, geothermal, and waste/biomass.
