Well mines are not pretty. I have gold and coal mines not far from here, and they are ugly.

Go to Biafra and see what the oil industries look like to those places. AN oil spill in an estuary makes a mine look like a park.

Either we stop it, derail it, or burn it down completely. Or we all burn, and it will be worse.
The TSA has actually created at least three distinct classes of travelers:

Ordinary travelers, who have to go through ordinary TSA security where they get harassed and delayed for purposes that have nothing to do with security.

The so-called privileged people who have Precheck and get less delayed and less harassed and go through a lightened security-theater process that certainly has no less security value than the regular one. These people, of course, have to go through an invasive background check process and pay a recurring tax for the privilege of not being as badly harassed and delayed.

And then there's the actually privileged people who buy very expensive private, semi-private, or charter-service flights who never have to enter government-run passenger terminal and instead use the passenger lounge at their friendly local FBO, which has no security theater procedures whatsoever, requires no background check, and has no government fee associated with it.
Not anymore. I drove Semi trucks and most fleets are going all automatic these days. There are of course some who still prefer a manual, But I would bet commercial trucks will be 90%+ automatics in 10 years.

Being raised in Texas and living in California, we have here what we call 'pavement princesses.

They buy old or new big trucks, lift them, hard-wire the brights permanently engaged.

Most have never been in mud, much less used for work. People in big work trucks (oilfield workers and actual rancherd/farmers etc) never act like these LARPers do.

They also drive like assholes, riding ass and being aggressive. I love aiming their brights back at them with my side mirrors. Legit had one guy scream at me for it in a drive-thru. Apparently blinding me is fine, but how dare I blind him so bad he had to turn off his lights...in a well-lit parking lot. I get out my car in a Jack In The Box drive-thru and who is behind me? Some old guy (60+) in a brand new truck with not a scratch on it. Lifted with pretty powder coated lift kit. LED lights on the outside and wheelwells. My mind was blown I'd expected it to be some douche kid.

Also he had some stickers that read 'Yeet truck'. An old man. I don't know if they have a Facebook truck or what, but these guys take pride in being assholes.

At least in Texas you will get a ticket for brights. Here in California they just run rampant.

I haven't been back to Texas in about two years now, but when did this go from something to be laughed at to something people aspire to?

Asshole-as-a-culture?

edit to add- people are now using aftermarket headlights, which is fine, but they throw away the instructions that show how to properly set them so they aren't pointing straight ahead. Damn near as bad a brights. Also never ticketed here so it runs rampant. I told the last officer to pull me over for my tint being too dark that it's the only way to not be blinded at night. I'd rather pay the ticket. Let me off with a warning, which was nice.
They're also just really not great. I tested out Mycroft a couple years ago and found that the success rate for getting it to understand its wake word and listen for commands was under 10%. Maybe if you buy their prepackaged product, it works better, but that's not something I want to do. I just want to run it on a Pi 4 (which they claim works) with a mic array.
Isn't that jujutsu?[1]

> Jujutsu is a Git-compatible DVCS. It combines features from Git (data model, speed), Mercurial (anonymous branching, simple CLI free from "the index", revsets, powerful history-rewriting), and Pijul/Darcs (first-class conflicts), with features not found in either of them (working-copy-as-a-commit, undo functionality, automatic rebase, safe replication via rsync, Dropbox, or distributed file system).

> Compatible with Git
>
> Jujutsu has two backends. One of them is a Git backend (the other is a native one 1). This lets you use Jujutsu as an alternative interface to Git. The commits you create will look like regular Git commits. You can always switch back to Git.

One unusual alternative in resource constrained systems is to segment stacks per region of code, not directly per thread.

This allows threads with very small initial stacks to take turns temporarily reserving a larger stack for doing a rare complex operation.

Outside of reserving the stack, it takes a handful of instructions to call and then return from the temporary stack.
the compounds have to be novel as well. "buttass dumbwad" hits much harder than "dumbass buttwad"

Growing up in Cleveland this happened when Power 108 FM turned from top 40 to 107.9 The End, a total alt-rock station in the heyday of the 90's. They played REM's End of the World as We Know It for like 24 straight hours before going live.
They get priced out because it's so hard to build anything anywhere else. The restricted places where development can happen, end up with all the pent up demand flooding into them. The solution is not to prevent building from happening, it's to loosen restrictions everywhere else. The planning system is in serious need of reform.
Was your purpose to tell someone things they probably already knew, or were you trying to encourage them? It came off as the former, but the advice is solid - if it came with some empathy.

If you think any of those things are easy, I disagree. To someone with the wrong genetics or habits, you may as well suggest growing a foot taller.

Following the link for “wankpuffin” (beautiful word, btw), apparently the one-syllable followed by two-syllable construction is a distinct pattern, called a “shitgibbon” (https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/shitgibbon)

Noun
shitgibbon (plural shitgibbons)

2. (linguistics) A type of antibacchic compound word used as an insult, consisting of a single-syllable expletive, followed by an absurd or innocuous two-syllable noun as a trochee.

Also,

feels rather insulting to me. It’s not exactly something I would want to be associated with.
To get the best of both "build" and "buy", I recommend using one of the open source alternatives.

That way, you have as much control over it as if you built it yourself but it comes ready made and off the shelf.

> Distracting from that effort makes things worse.

I see no evidence or reason to believe that an effort to reduce solar irradiance distracts from the control of greenhouse gases on a civilizational scale.

Civilizations are always doing tons of different things. Most of those things aren't competing with one another for people or resources. They're just happening simultaneously.

We can walk and chew gum at the same time.

And don't you want to know how difficult this will be before immediately shutting it down? Isn't that a critical consideration?

Jefferson and his contemporaries led a revolution against a country which abolished slavery more quickly than America did, and several of his contemporaries were literally slaveholding bigots. If they never existed slavery may have been abolished sooner, although in our alternate history Britain would be under more pressure to not abolish to keep the southern economy going.

It’s great he said some abolitionist things, but abolitionists had existed and had even successfully abolished slavery since before the birth of Christ. There are people after Jefferson and his contemporaries that actually abolished slavery from then into the present day. I’m not sure why the US founding fathers who came up with shit like the 3/5th’s compromise deserve any special credit.

I would give more credit to the white abolitionists who lived in the 1800s and the slaves themselves.
The cost could be that much - but we've had 2 bad incidents, both considered "worst case", without anything near that situation. That is only 2 data points, and things could be worse - but that is the prior we have.

How to weight a .00(0000)1% chance at tens of millions of affected, versus the guarantee of millions of life-years made worse by the actual coal plants? That is a philosophical plan, but the likelihood * badness is one approach. We also appear to have good control over the worst case situation with a plant - it looks to me like a bounded problem space with modern nukes.

Oh boy, welcome to the exciting world of C pointer provenance :) What you just described is what compiler people call pointer provenance, where each pointer has, in addition to the address, a second piece of info attached to it that describes all the places to which the pointer can point.

This is an extremely simplified and probably incorrect view of https://open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2019/p1434r0.... This is complicated because nobody agrees on what the correct behaviour should be, and we have mountains of legacy codebases that all rely on something slightly different when pointers get converted to ints and back.
Yes, but operating them costs a lot more than the renewables being built out. Similarly, for the nukes under construction. So, as the renewables come online, more expensive generation will go offline. That stuff will all be mothballed because continuing to operate it costs a lot more than shutting it down.

China has the advantage that they do not need to continue operating expensive equipment just because it was expensive.

I've liked Nim for years. Just jumped back in to use with the Godot engine. I originally went with rust (not by choice but due to an important dependency), and switching to Nim made me so much more productive. In this case I don't think rust was really adding much safety since the engine owns all the game objects.

Thank you for the great response and to fill in some details here, my son is 10 and he goes to a public school and has a handful of friends through school but unfortunately none of them are within a walking distance.

Where we live is a suburban neighborhood that has a couple of kids in his age bracket but they aren't close friends. We live in a lower middle class subdivision but have a pretty high net worth and tend to gravitate towards activities that other neighbors likely can't afford. Stuff like skiing or tips abroad for example. On the flip side they do stuff that doesn't draw us in like hunting or ATV. That's to say that we are not close to any of our neighbors and our kids don't often hang out although everyone is friendly so far as I can tell.

Java didn't have a decent IDE for the first 10 years of its existence and I hated IntelliJ/NetBeans etc. when I first used them. The tools improved. They work great for all the languages I use.

I'm not smart enough to keep an entire code base of every project I ever worked on in my head. Maybe you're a genius of a different level, even then... Wouldn't it make sense to clear the area of your brain that needs to remember every parameter name to a method call so the IDE will show that to you.

IntelliJ community is free and open source. NetBeans too and it's decent. So is Eclipse. VSCode isn't exactly an IDE so I won't go into that.
Can't argue with that, but in my experience it can help with the underlying issue: Feelings.
You did have to be wealthy, but $100,000 in 1980 is equivalent to $383,000 today which is pretty wealthy. So it’s basically income above $400,000 today.

I don't think safety is the highest priority for most drivers. If it were, cars with the highest safety rating would sell best. Safety is a concern, but there are other concerns about self-driving vehicles that I think give more reason for pause. If you offered me a fully self-driving vehicle at a regular car price that lacked a steering wheel and brake pedals and told me my chances of serious injury or death would be reduced by 50% (or more) I wouldn't take it.

Part of being a free person is feeling like you are in control and the car described above takes away control. You're asking me to trust your software, trust your QA department and trust that you've considered everything that could go wrong in the place I will do most of my driving. That's a tall order.

I would immediately picture the car driving me on rain soaked roads in the Santa Cruz mountains plunging me off a cliff into the redwood trees, much like people who refuse to fly picture themselves helplessly diving into the ground in a ball of flames. Once in a blue moon the roads in the Santa Cruz mountains ice up. How well did you test your car in these conditions? Without any data, I'm going to assume you didn't.

People enjoy the freedom to take risks. People break the traffic laws all the time after assessing the risks of doing so. People enjoy going fast, even though statistically speaking, it is safer to go slow.

Simple: reflecting sunlight does nothing to remove CO2 from the atmosphere, or to reduce the amount going into the atmosphere. The CO2 is the problem, not the temperature. The temperature is a measure of the CO2 problem. Force the temperature, and it ceases to become an accurate measure.

As CO2 continues to build up, ocean pH decreases, reflecting increasing acidification. As pH decreases, the base of the ocean food chain begins to collapse. When the ocean food chain collapses, the main protein source for much of humanity vanishes. Global war follows, and civilization collapse. Slightly lower temperature is unnoticed.
> Well, GPU code is certainly not object-oriented, and I hope it never becomes that.

Jonathan Blow has been experimenting a lot with arrays of structs versus structs of arrays, particularly in making them both first class instead of assuming one and ignoring the other. This is essentially the column- versus row-oriented data question answered with a question: why not both?

I think if you had a first class language that supported both, that you wouldn't mind so much if GPU code became object oriented.

The video was taken about 10 years ago, I doubt an electric vehicle would have been a viable option. As it is today, one that can go that fast is pretty expensive right? It's a massive weakness to the 'thopter that it can't do an independent take off and landing.

Yes, I think you're right. The pilot for the skycycle was blown like a kilometer off course by a strong gust of wind and almost wanted to give up. If he'd had the level of control you talk about, he'd probably have been able to keep going the direction he wanted to in spite of the wind.
