> Deflationary "money" isn't money, which is exactly what we see in all of your experiments, exactly as predicted.

You can call it whatever you want, but the point is that you don't have to use this "deflationary money, which isn't money", and other people who do want this deflationary aspect of their money can use it though.

You can simply use your inflationary money that goes down in value, if you don't want to use deflationary "fake money", and people who instead want deflation in their "fake money", can use it because thats what those people choose to do.

This is some bad reasoning. Solar efficiency is very different from say engine efficiency. A very efficient combustion engine is 35% efficient meaning it wastes 65% of the energy in the input fuel. Solar panels don’t waste sunlight and have no input costs. Rooftop solar turns 20% of something that would have been 100% wasted into high grade energy. A very efficient coal power plant is 45% efficient before transmission losses. That means more than half the energy in the coal is wasted. Solar wastes nothing.

Your numbers on solar panel degradation are also incorrect based on my experience in the industry. They do degrade but not at that at 7+% per year for ten years.

Edit: corrected degradation amount
> I used to think solar and wind power were the best ways to reduce CO2 emissions. But the biggest reduction in CO2 emissionsduring the past 15 years (over 60%) has come from switching from coal to natural gas.

That one needs a citation to back it up. It might be true, but natural gas leaks a lot of Methane (CH4) into the atmosphere, which way stronger greenhouse gas effect than CO2. So it might be worse than coal actually.

I find this as well. Earlier in my career it was useful, but in the last bunch of years I rarely if ever am on SO, and if I am, I’m trying to contribute answers. Wouldn’t be surprised if the survey data is largely skewed to more junior people.
Agreed. It's a pretty stale distinction.
The waste produced by a renewable energy system will be small (and of the same kind) compared to the waste produced by industrial society as a whole. If the renewable energy system isn't sustainable because of waste, then neither will be that industrial society, even if it were nuclear powered.

To be fair, waste isn't really the issue with nuclear power either.
Anecdotally, I find that web search has been doing a much worse job of recognizing my query and presenting an SO result - which is why I personally use it less. Blogspam created from scraping SO has been completely pwning top results in Google and DDG(bing) and it’s really disheartening.

See for example “geeksforgeeks” and similar sites, which I find to be a poor and overly verbose resource, which now dominates the top position

Quite right. Thus they implicitly equate poor quality code with technical debt. This makes the metaphor unsuited to a proper aversion to poor quality code. If it's simply debt it can be paid off later with a small amount of interest. Such a conclusion is contrary to the one the paper is trying to put forth.

Given what the article seems to be going for, I'm not sure why 15 crops? A garden newbie should start with no more than 5. Seed packets are approaching $3 now, so 15 would be $45 for seeds alone.

As for site prep: pick a spot in the late Summer/early Fall where you want your garden to be in the next Spring. Put down a layer of newspapers and cardboard then pile at least six inches of leaves and lawn clippings on top of that (more is fine). Your site will be ready for planting the next Spring, just scrape away any leftover leaves over to the edges and keep them around for mulch after the seedlings come up.

I have been thinking the same thing. I'm just returning to a job that I like after a 3-month parental leave of absence. A lot of co-workers have left our niche boutique consultancy with a decent work-life balance to join... other niche boutique consultancies who advertise a decent work-life balance (with some weirdos going to the big guys... good luck with that).

From my perspective, I'm seeing the last 6-or-so months of the Great Resignation as a zeitgeist of irrational optimism. Money was cheap, "post-COVID repairs" were a goldmine of opportunity, and companies were thriving regardless of their actual performance. If the burnout is catching up to people, it is probably because "returning to normal" no longer seems so palatable. So why not try a new normal in a fresh environment?

If we see a 2001-level decline, I can only hope that a desire for the good old days helps people get their priorities straight and figure out a way to balance happiness, dignity, and success that doesn't involve LinkedIn recruiters.

It's really strange for me to hear people saying that. I was pro-nuclear a decade ago and thought solar/wind were pipe dreams. The cost situation is now so much in favor of solar/wind now that I no longer really see the point in nuclear. We should be subsidizing scaling up of storage technologies, not nuclear plants.

If the cost of storage gets cut in half in the next 10 years, we won't need subsidies, nuclear plants will simply be boondoggles. I really don't think we should invest in nuclear until we're sure the cleaner alternatives can't scale.
> Rooftop solar in Seattle pays for itself in 7-9 years

Can you show me the arithmetic for that? I understand rooftop solar to cost $20,000 - $25,000. Is your non-solar electric bill over 7-9 years really more expensive than that? Seems impossible.
Your idea is KISS works for finance and the rest of humanity are idiots. As you sit down and type from a device created very much by the financial engineering “complications” of the modern market (and in turn being used to create further pockets of complexity).
Good point. I imagine people will self-modify substantially in VR though. If we have high resolution VR it seems likely we'll be able to alter our voices and change our virtual bodies at will. And if video games and Twitter and even IRL cultural practices show anything it's that the typical human is a role-playing animal. When roles which previously floated free of any material basis come into contact IRL I wonder if this has the potential to create tension regardless of the immersiveness of the original virtual environment.

You have accurately described the GNU CoW string :-)

My impression through the fog of history is that what happened was a really clever GNU person with little foresight and no access to an SMP system implemented std::string with CoW. Its performance in practice was so poor that the standard committee intentionally changed the standard to make it an illegal implementation, thereby eradicating the GNU CoW string. There was no higher principled logic.
That's not accurate as seal belt laws actually protect other people other than yourself. Think about a human flying through a windshield at 40mph hitting a pedestrian, or you flying around the car smashing into other passengers that were wearing their seatbelt.
1) EVs seeming more attractive because of gas prices is a reasonable theory. But I'd say that people who are struggling with gas prices are not going to be able to afford to buy an electric car anyway. Trans. Secretary Pete Buttigieg recently recommended that people struggling with gas buy an electric car and it was about the most out-of-touch and elitist thing I've ever seen.

2) I don't believe that gas prices are suddenly going up because peak oil theory is being vindicated. There's inflation, supply issues caused by dumb human "environmentalist" policies, as well as tensions due to Russia and other world events.

I do wish they had done the same with Solaris or ZFS. They could have at the stage given it a permissive license and then the community could have kept that or went to GPL and killed the whole CDDL/GPL debate, but now the non-Oracle-assigned changes are also under CDDL so that window has closed.
I can confirm there are tons of young folks <20 who are strong vape smokers. I can guarantee you most if not all are not on it due to weaning from long term cigarette addiction.

The tariff in my locality allowed for dry copper pairs to be installed ("burglar alarm circuits") and some of my Customers took advantage of that along w/ PairGain devices to get high speed links between sites serviced out of the same central office.

I wonder if keeping the wires on a spool is what allows the speed to be the range of 10mbps? I only ask because I know at least for radio signals there's capacitive coupling between wires which some signal leakage will happen. But I assume as long as the signals are differential as in current flow between the two wires are in opposition which should in theory be fine, so common mode signals ought not to leak over.
>> Grass is greener etc.

This is so true.

After spending a decade in software development, I'm finally staying put where I am. So many times as a developer you hate something about your job. So you go out and interview, build some stuff for show on GitHub, and then finally land that job that's going to take away all your worries and grievances you have with your current employer.

Only to find out all you did was swap one set of problems for another, totally different set of problems which weren't an issue at your former employer.

You either accept this stuff as just something every company has, or you'll go crazy trying to find a perfect company/startup/agency to work at and you'll never get any further in your career.
That first sentence sounds too ontological to be useful. St Anselm made the same mistake - because he could imagine a perfect God, that perfection required God to exist. He (and countless other apologists) believed that the universe and its nature were subject to the requirements of their ideas of God, without accounting for the inevitable limitations and imperfections of those ideas.
“we can easily and cheaply ramp up renewables ”

If this were the case, we wouldn’t be starting all these coal plants.

“Yet France, with all its nuclear power plants (half of them off due to technical issues), also has revived some coal plants.”

Yes, so coal, with its large greenhouse emissions, is still used instead of renewables
Most of us tech folks are WAY out of our depth regarding the energy sector. Everyone on this forum is so freaking heated all the time when in reality, most of us don't know shit about our energy infrastructure.

I don't even have a larger point here...but I swear the loudest most passionate commentary on energy comes from people with no expertise. Nobody should hold dogmatic beliefs without demonstrable knowledge in the area.

I have a few buddies who work as electrical engineers designing power systems. I've witnessed them receive lectures on energy infrastructure from people that have backgrounds in completely unrelated fields like sales, law, marketing...etc. It's bonkers!
> Though I do feel the author ran out of steam with respect to the lovely, quirky artwork in the book.

Definitely true. I was hoping to write the book in two years and it took me six. By the end (which was also during the pandemic) I was pretty fried and it was hard to summon much energy for whismy. I tried to pack as many illustrations in as I could, but by later chapters I was really just trying to get it done.

Also, pragmatically, I found the chapters on the bytecode VM really needed a lot more useful illustrations for things the execution flow so that left less space for the fun ones.

> I'm disappointed Bob, I want my money back.

We already had that in Swedish snus and Obama chose to tax it to death to help the domestic tobacco industry out. Not only is snus not dangerous, but you can quit by just leaving the sachet in your mouth for longer and longer periods. That's how I quit, and I haven't had a cigarette in 11 years or a snus in 8.

The problem with medicalized nicotine gums, etc. is their absurdly high pricing.
Nuclear is an option but it's not a fast option. The newest reactor designs from Westinghouse and EPR have taken 9 years at the fastest to complete in China and much longer everywhere else. You can say the regulations or NIMBYs are slowing down construction, but those aren't an issue in China.

You can buy pure electrolytic iron powder from powder-metallurgy vendors. It's of course not 100% pure but it's a lot purer than 19th-century iron tires.

Iron is hard to purify. This is partly because it's so enthusiastic about reacting with other elements. It's like the Oprah Winfrey of elements, or the gender-swapped version of oxygen: "You get an electron, and you get an electron, and you get an electron! Everybody! gets! an! electron!" Worse, in nature it's always hanging out with its buddies manganese and nickel, and they're hard to separate. It's not as bad as zirconium and hafnium, but almost.

It wasn't until the 01930s that reasonably pure iron was produced, and it was found that it was much softer than anyone had previously suspected.
I actually ran into this last year. We ordered about 2 thousand 8TB HDDs last year for a Ceph cluster and had an agreement with our server vendor that they are not supposed to substitute the HDD model. Well, seems like they ran out and a small fraction of the drives were of a different, older model. The performance difference was 2.5x for our workload:

Older model: 670 IO/s and 2.9 ms average latency

Newer model: 1680 IO/s and 1.1 ms average latency

We got the vendor to send us new drives and shipped the older model back to them.
Cool, that makes sense.

Do you models incorporate any sort of time-based weighting, where more recent code is weighted more heavily? Seems like that would also help this issue, as more recent code tends to be closer to what we hope future code looks like. But then how do you let best practices evolve over time?
The practical answer is that you go and look at a project's release history at its primary repo. I don't know of a good way to browse all apache projects by livelihood though. The closest thing I know of to keep track of Apache projects overall is this:

https://lists.apache.org/list.html?announce@apache.org

But just eyeballing that really quick I can see it's not authoritative, because a new version of Apache Spark just came out and isn't announced there.

There is also this, but it's very cluttered with submodules, but it does appear more authoritative.

I get where you're coming from.

Honesty, and raw criticism of things that deserve it, is valuable. I think sarcasm, though, is rarely the right tactic.

Sarcasm is, most of the time, the mode of either impotence or petty resentment. If you actually want to affect change or genuinely communicate, it is a poor tool.

Occasionally, yes, it can be a righteous blow of justified revolt. And of course this is how the sarcastic imagine themselves, almost always. But far more often they are just indulging their worst impulses.
Adobe expecting Flash authors to make versions optimized for mobile wasn't particularly crazy though, was it? That's exactly what browser makers expect mobile site developers to do. A non-mobile optimized site mobile is an awful experience.

W.R.T. compositing, browsers took a long time to move to even just GPU based compositing, and full GPU based rendering took longer still. Certainly, if Flash hadn't been killed off so prematurely it seems reasonable that either they'd have done the work to keep up, or users would have organically abandoned the platform.

Indeed, you make a good point that it was really a fight over forcing devs to use Objective C and nothing else. Flash was just roadkill in that fight.
There are plenty of jurisdictions where such a disclaimer is void. France, for example, probably. Or anyway somewhere in Europe.

News that Apache had been forbidden to perform downloads to France, and then more places, might help raise awareness that it shouldn't be downloaded at all, nohow.

Maybe it would even push Apache to stop offering it entirely, and to link to the Libreoffice site instead.

Ask HN: How much equity should I pay for a salesman/spokesman co-founder?
Let's say that I'm a software designer and builder and can handle all the technical side of a SaaS company alone in the early stages, but of course in this case I'll need a co-founder to secure sales and acquire customers. To be clear I'll attend all the meetings with the customers in the early stages, but I cannot do that alone because it has to be more professional and more "majestic" (I'm not sure if this is the right use of the word).
Also we need to show up and market our products so we may attend public events or, for example, talk about our product on the radio and so on...

I know that the following question has no right answer and it depends on the context, but I'm open to hear different answers for different scenarios:

Counterpoint, I've not seen seniority affect these outcomes at all. Most of the time I see some management type or CTO heavily push the "code coverage / test everything" narrative which then rolls down the hill. Strategy did not seem at all correlated with seniority.

Same goes for prototyping. I don't see much of a correlation between willingness to prototype and seniority, either.
