Architecture is that which drives the configuration of the system's block diagram. That block diagram is the "building" and the architecture metaphor comes from the idea of how things are connected: is there an external stairway from here to there, or an elevator? Are these two facilities on the same floor?

Saying that architecture isn't structure but decisions is vacuous fluff, because a structure has decisions. A triangle and square are structures, differentiated by the decision of how many vertices/edges we have.

Decisions that don't result in structure might not be architecture. Soup vs. salad is a decision, but doesn't mean you're architecting your lunch.
I'm not so sure. Emissions don't harm everyone instantly; they affect people disproportionately and only impact everyone over time as the effects accumulate. Sure, maybe bad performance only affects the customer initially, but can't you help but wonder what the cumulative opportunity cost of bad performance on civilization has been?

The predominant perception among nontechnical people is that computers are fundamentally unreliable and slow. It doesn't seem unreasonable to think that might be holding up the rate of innovation.

ah, there it is, the ol' "i'm an expert" ploy that we were just talking about elsewhere, and then redirecting to a semantic non sequitur to divert attention away from the core issue of unfair markets. note that you can talk about the nuance of the subject without misdirecting it this way.

Rather than bare C something like C++, Rust, or even Haskell would be better. C isn't the fastest, especially not with normal code. C++ templates get a bad rep, but if you want to go fast they are extremely hard to beat.

Also those languages show you don't actually have to give up modern features or even that much convenience in order to get blazing fast speeds.
Electricity storage is only one of the six elements I mentioned... When it comes to storage, thermal storage is cheaper and have a huge potential (and heat and cold represent about half of the US electricity consumption)

Then batteries is only one technology out of several to "store electricity". Pumped hydro and Hydrogen are probably the 2 biggest alternatives, with mature technology and innovation. There are also more niche technologies like flywheels, compressed air, thermal to electricity storage...

Then lithium-ion battery (your figures are for lithium-ion battery) is only one type of battery - the most used, and the one with price decreasing the most. For example there are different types metal air or flow batteries that are interesting.

Then when batteries are needed (e.g. when energy efficiency + diversified energy mix + overproduction + demand response + thermal storage were not enough), they are needed only for a part of the electricity need at the given time in the grid.

Keep also in mind that 5500 GwH of battery can inject it the grid (or in cars:) 5500 GwH every cycle (oversimplification: everyday) if needed.

You conclude by "there's no fundamental obstacle in the way except money"... well that was the very point of my initial post. While managing intermittence has a cost currently nuclear Kwh are 3 to 10 times more expensive than utility wind and solar kwh. And the gap between nuclear and wind & and solar keep widening...
Are there any high level thoughts on how you'd approach that, or is it mainly just a "we want that at some point" in the feature list right now?
Does Python even have JIT?
Yes, absolutely, it gave me a pretty clear indicator of where I need improvement.

One complaint I do have is that (in addition to the percentile bucket) they give you a 1-5 rating, where 4 is "senior engineer level" and 5 is something "exceptional performance, a leader in the field"

But the ratings seem to fall at different percentile distributions for each test.

For example, I might get 80th percentile on one test, but get a 3 rating, and for another test, 80th percentile is a 5.

Based on your answer I believe you are french and you never spent significant time in Germany to appreciate German efficiency.
During my stay in Germany (6 years), I had to endure a strike on local public transportation every 6 months, combined with a strike of cockpit Union

And when Germany strikes, it is tough. The whole city took their cars, leading to never ending traffic jam. You were faster by bike than by car.

It seems like the appropriate thing to do would be to inform anyone who had tokens created during the affected time period, so they could assess if any of the permissions led to undesired changes. Instead of GitHub saying “we don’t have hard proof of anything bad happening” and waiting 3 months, just give the customer the time of relevant token creations.

As someone with no horse in the race, the negativity of reports of damaged/nonfunctional/poorly assembled cars straight from manufacturing didn't seem to be a very big drain, so I don't see why moving to shody work later would be a red flag.

However, how much is this kind of stuff is actually used at scale today?
Precisely. Because it's about Tesla, this gets reported and generates clicks. But anyone who pays attention to cars knows horror stories about service, from any manufacturer you name.

Dealerships aren't just awful for the buying experience. They're also awful for the service experience. If anything, Tesla's model of providing at-home service for small or routine work is an exception from the norm that, in my experience, raises it above other premium brands.

Why should “mind”, “understanding”, etc be continuous in time, space and even enclosed into a “whole box”? Claims like this are very everyday-centric, so to say, as well as counter-arguments.

If we assume that “mind” isn’t driven by pure chaos (e.g. quantum effects) and operates above it, just like a chair acts as a chair, no matter how random it is at microscopic level, shouldn’t be there finite algorithms which describe humans and chairs in a way useful to interact with it? (E.g. h-algo can chat in a textbox, and ch-algo can squeak in a 3d simulation). Imagine we’ve got such an algorithm and a computer or an operator that executes it. Does that make it less “understanding”, given that it correctly represents its subject?

If we do not assume such relative determinism, then the answer lies in chaos, where such claims can barely survive, because all the subjects they are reasoning about also lose deterministic sense. How can anything have “mind”, “understanding” etc if it doesn’t abstract from pure randomness enough for its own system to emerge?

I think the whole question about “consciousness” is just wrong and is a pointless philosophical debate about something that doesn’t exist.

Well, performance is rarely the most important thing nowadays. What's preached against is not performance, but a performance-first attitude.

I agree it would be nice to value performance a bit more, but not at all costs, and depending on the use case and context of the application not necessarily as the priority over security, maintainability, velocity, reliability, etc.

Later on the article talks about how short sellers have been using that metric to gauge service levels, which Tesla wants to undermine. So it looks like the company is explicitly targeting a vanity metric as a knee jerk response to short sellers. Not the best long term strategy...
Tell HN: Homeless encampment has now been cleared
A couple weeks ago, there was an article posted here humanizing the homeless in Venice Beach [1].

The article generated a lot of buzz, especially on site. As a result, the mayor has decided to keep them out [2]. The area has been fenced and signs for construction are coming up. The article states that 44 of 66 people have been placed in homes. However, 2 days later, tents are starting to come back up outside the fence.

And the cycle continues.

>did his duty

Getting fired potentially in retaliation seems reasonable justification for speaking out beyond quietly reporting an incident to your employer.

Especially when the group involved is alleged to be intimidating people into silence. Seems like a great reason to instead shout about the issue quite loudly. Not least of which because small corruption may go side by side with larger corruption.
As a Canadian, it seemed like at least 30% of remote employers were open to hiring from Canada (although it was often marked incorrectly in your system).

People can go from mega hype-person to mega detractor quite fast.
"All Lives Matter" was not in common circulation until "Black Lives Matter" entered the scene, because the phrase is used as a rebuttal to "Black Lives Matter." That's why it's commonly understood to be a dogwhistle. When person A says "Black Lives Matter" and person B says "All Lives Matter", person B is really saying "NO. All Lives Matter" the un-spoken "NO" is their disagreement with "Black Lives Matter." If they agreed that "Black Lives Matter" they would not have had to come up with a rebuttal to counter it.

> I can say for certain that every muslim woman, whether they wear the headscarf or not, is oppressed by having this choice taken out of their hands.

Game theory is complicated. Sometimes having a choice taken away from you is good for you... for example if it is a choice you never really wanted to take, but your environment would punish you for avoiding it voluntarily. When the choice is taken away, the punishment would not make sense.

Children do not choose their religion; it is chosen for them, and sometimes the punishment for breaking the rules or trying to leave the religion is death. I am pretty sure there are girls born in muslim families, who are happy for the opportunity to feel the fresh air.

This is intentional. The score thresholds are set at absolute levels of skill, not by percentile - otherwise they would drift along with the population of people taking the quizzes.

In general, different quizzes have vastly different populations of people attempting them. For example, our front-end quiz gets a lot of beginners and hobbyists, and thus has a very bottom-loaded score distribution. Our devops-related quizzes, on the other hand, have a population that skews skilled and senior, and has a very top-loaded score distribution.

Communicating this information to our users (particularly the less-quantitatively-oriented ones on the company side) has been a source of considerable UI challenges for us.

You could use that logic to say keep all your savings in cash all the time. What if your roof gets blown off and you suddenly need to replace it? What if your house burns down and you need to buy a new one? The relevant question to ask is when having an extra couple of months' expenses in instant access is going to make the marginal difference. IMO the window between "one months' expenses" and "six months' expenses" is pretty narrow, so it makes more sense to keep one month or so in cash or current account and then invest the rest at the best rates you can.

(e.g. I would say for most people a car probably costs more than three months' expenses, so having that much extra in instant access probably doesn't shift you from "can't buy a new car in cash" to "can buy a new car in cash". Realistically you're (hopefully) insured and you're quite likely to finance your replacement car.)

I've had an "instant access" savings account take 2 months to pay out my money - some kind of AML issue, supposedly. Conversely, a lot of "three months' notice" accounts aren't "you physically can't take money out with less than three months' notice" but rather "if you withdraw with less than three months' notice you sacrifice one year's interest" or similar. I don't find the "hassle of an extra account" to be significant when it's two accounts at the same bank under the same login, but if you do then I would seriously consider having only a notice-requiring savings account.
Being fair, for many of the things that it is worth using a microservice for, you should already have some sort of dominant factor to the call that would more than justify the added latency of the remote call. Be it a database read/write or some other heavy calculation.

Granted, this is exacerbated when architectures don't make a good division between control/compute/data planes.

Control plane, which is exposed to users, should almost certainly be limited to a single (or handful, at most) microservice calls. Preferably to the fastest storage mechanism that you have, such that what latency it does add is minimized entirely.

Unless laws come into place, and unless it's strongly proven on humans with extensive research, BPA will just be treated as a conspiracy theory.

There is a fair bit of data on this and most of the difference is around prohibiting of private supplemental insurance.

Medicare is generally understood to work with supplemental insurance.
Single Payer is often marketed as a prohibiting supplemental insurance.

This rejection is hypocritical to everything either party claims to stand for.

No way.
So because Apple takes time to add features in a secure, private and efficient way they are being accused of lagging behind standards.

And you literally just described the inherent problem. Developers will move to the platform that gives it the most flexibility and features. Users follow. And we end up back in IE days with less diversity and less competition.
I'm opposed to tax funded police, roads, and schools. If you want to create a roads charity, by all mean I'm fine with that.

if you clicked on the article and read even the sub-title you'd realize that your comment is ridiculous. The full title is "The Real Villain in the Gentrification Story: It’s not young, upwardly mobile college grads."

The article is about how we need to build more housing immediately, which would make everyone's CoL lower, everyone's lives better, and would also go a longgg way to resolving the exact tensions you describe.

The point about NIMBYs is that the key factor preventing us from building more housing is local opposition from people who are primarily concerned about protecting the value of their house so they can resell it later.
