>> Do you think the future of mobility simply lies in electric vehicles?

No, but there are many places where internal combustion vehicles are the current "affordable" option and will need to be replaced by a non-polluting vehicle.

Electric vehicles seem like the next best replacement, but they are typically too expensive and do not have enough battery charging infrastructure for wide-spread adoption.

Lower cost, non-luxury electric vehicles need to be developed and sold. Ideally their development costs and sales to consumers could be subsidized to make them more affordable. Polluting vehicles could also have a trade-in value so that electric vehicles are an option for all drivers.

>> Where do you think should a minimum wage worker install solar panels?

Solar panels should be installed anywhere there is enough sunlight. While there are initial costs to manufacture and install the solar panels in most cases they will pay for themselves from the generated electricity. Nuclear power needs to replace other polluting power plants. Fission plants now, research and development for fusion plants. Stars are the ultimate energy source--both natural and human-made.

>> What can be done to avoid this problem?

Make it a priority. That is the hardest part.
Saw a great link here on HN recently with different tricks for decisions making or problem solving: https://untools.co/

Also if its about personal problems that involves your own values or considerations, I would suggest the WOOP method. Read "rethink positive thinking"; its a slow read but important to fully understand the purpose.
Maybe. Doing it once in the lab and making it look like the economics might kind of work for a broader area isn't very convincing to me.
Since everything turing complete any can any and so on… The main big difference between languages is the context in which your program text is placed. Readily available meanings of your words. Different problems beg for different contexts. Having documented DSL with tooling is so much easier than shoehorning generic language using boilerplate code.

Here is an example of a DSL program, with the output:

Wyatt Earp knew a bit about gunfighting so here is his take:

When I say that I learned to take my time in a gunfight, I do not wish to be misunderstood, for the time to be taken was only that split fraction of a second that means the difference between deadly accuracy with a sixgun and a miss. It is hard to make this clear to a man who has never been in a gunfight. Perhaps I can best describe such time taking as going into action with the greatest speed of which a man’s muscles are capable, but mentally unflustered by an urge to hurry or the need for complicated nervous and muscular actions which trick-shooting involves. Mentally deliberate, but muscularly faster than thought, is what I mean.
Oh I know, but repurposing the word diet to mean blanket change is what sets you up for failure. When you realize that you can focus on incremental change and really see benefits.

Another example I give is how long you have been eating your diet and you suddenly want to change it. Compare that to riding a bike. It probably took 2-3 years for you to become good at riding so much so that now it comes second nature after 10, 20, or 30 years. Apply that mentality to changing your diet and you will have much more success. Sometimes you fall off. You cry a bit, you dust yourself off, you get back on.
Eventually we will have SOME people living on mars or the moon or wherever in space. Why waste fuel getting into orbit from these planets with low gravity?

A giant rail-gun-like rollercoaster that gently curves upwards. The combination of the right angle and the right velocity should be enough to fling you off the planet. I guess someone more mathematically inclined could do the actual math for me.
For anyone who has not had the pleasure of working with these simpler “atom-based” state management libraries, I would implore you to try Jotai (https://jotai.org/), which is mentioned in the article.

Jotai’s atomic model and ease of use has made writing complex React applications far more joyful for me.

Update - I came across something on why they would have made such a loan

Voyager was offering the public high interest rates eg. 9% on USDT and 6% on bitcoin and then had to find somewhere to put that money that promised to pay more than that interest so they could make a profit. (rates https://www.investvoyager.com/blog/voyagers-june-interest-ap...)

>3AC said they would pay a high rate of interest, and Voyager took their word for it– because in the minds of Voyager’s principals, there was no other outfit with 3AC’s pedigree that could absorb the amount of capital that needed to be shipped out the door. https://entrepreneurshandbook.co/number-three-511f334d8fae

So basically they lent the money because it was other people's money and they could make a profit as an intermediary.

Basically I’m not saying redux is bad. Just that after years of using it for production software I concluded it’s still overkill for my needs.

IIRC Redux is also just an abstraction on top of Context. Fundamentally it gives you pseudo-global access to application state by being able to interact with it anywhere in the component tree below the context manager.

The paper's title

"A QUARTER of Americans say they are ready to take up arms against the government"

compared to the cited report from University of Chicago's Institute of Politics

"And 28 percent of voters, including 37 percent who have guns in their homes, agree that “it may be necessary at some point soon for citizens to take up arms against the government.” "

The tone and meaning are not the same. Paper's headline is sensational by design (it's media for clicks)

Even if this ridiculous poll was true, and somehow the attack materialized; I think the Federal Government would make quick work of them -- with sonic crowd control weapons, tanks, fighter jets and who knows what else. Its kind of a libertarian fantasy that a modern government can be overthrown.
This is a poor analogy - usage statistics tend to not follow Gaussian distributions, hence the average can be a poor measure of central tendency. Body measurements usually don't have that problem, and I suppose that the average was actually used as the 'starting point', from where pilots could customize. For other distributions, one might actually prefer to opt for a different statistic altogether.
Fantastic short article with some tidbits and puzzle pieces of this oft-told story that I had not known about before. Also, due to an outside writer, kind of a respite from the typical Quanta breathless tone. (They do an excellent job, but sometimes I feel they push too hard on the significance of discoveries.)

One such interesting tidbit is the notion of a different mathematical culture at the time, which valued “duels” — exchanges of mathematical puzzles. Whoever solves the most, wins. This practice (we read) incentivized keeping some clever problem solutions secret, as ammo for a future contest.
There are various references listed under the linked article, including "more than some mock experiment".
I presume you mean pci-express (PCIe) ram? "epci" is not a name I've ever seen before, to my recall.

CXL should be a generic improvement over PCIe period, for (nearly) all applications, including attached storage and/or ram. It has simpler protocols, designed for lower latency. It has more capabilities: it can be switched, so that multiple hosts can either switch between or simultaneously share a device.

Samsung already has a device using an ASIC for attaching DRAM over CXL[1].

I don’t find configuring wireguard tunnels challenging, I find it logistically exhausting to distribute and manage key pairs of every device to every device in order to achieve a fully connected network. It’s not hard it just takes a long time.
So if we wanted to record O(16B) neurons in the cortex, and currently we're recording around 1K neurons, and doubling time 6.3 years, this means we'll have to wait O(150 years) before we can recored ALL the cortex firings.

This is based on calculation 1000*2^(150.7689/6.3) ~= 16B.
Technical clothing just means materials that have a purpose beyond looking good e.g. sweat/moisture wicking, light amount of stretch while staying tear resistant, having better ventilating material in certain places etc. It's sometimes confused with urban technical streetware brands but really it's any smart or casual clothes that take a lot of influence from hiking gear without looking like you're going for a hike.
>"Experiments showed that a wide range of food-producing organisms can be grown in the dark directly on the acetate-rich electrolyzer output, including green algae, yeast, and fungal mycelium that produce mushrooms. Producing algae with this technology is approximately fourfold more energy efficient than growing it photosynthetically. Yeast production is about 18-fold more energy efficient than how it is typically cultivated using sugar extracted from corn."

Absolutely brilliant!

Reactive programming provides the capability to react to changes in state. You still need to hold that state somewhere, mutate the state from your reactive code, and control the lifetime/scope of that state. Managing state becomes more of a concern with reactive programming, but it also becomes very explicit; this is something that traditional MVC approaches try to hide, to the detriment of anyone trying to understand the data path of your application.
Yeah, I'm not questioning whether you _can_ do things with sagas, and there's definitely cases where their capabilities are valuable.

But as I put it in my "Evolution" talk: "Sagas are like a chainsaw. Really powerful, and really dangerous. If you actually _need_ that power, great! But most of the time you don't actually _need_ to use a chainsaw on a daily basis."

As the sibling comment said, a lot of times sagas really do end up as spaghetti code, largely because they are so event-driven, and with all the use of generator functions that can make debugging hard. (Ironically, the original Flux Architecture was created to _avoid_ the problems of Backbone-style event triggers causing events to ricochet around the app without a way to understand how things would update in response, and sagas can end up recreating that problem with Redux apps.)
It's still possible to get somewhat of an accurate understanding of what you're buying if you read some reviews.

I read ~10 two star reviews, ~10 four star reviews, much more depending on price. One stars tend to be full of stuff like "product hasn't arrived", "garboage", user errors. Five stars are plagued by spam and paid reviews, and also a lack of details. Three stars seem to be split between very picky buyers (esp. hate the "I paid $3.50 for this and it's not the omega particle!") and people afraid to leave lower ratings for reasons.
It is really outdated.

In 2017 buying old Xeons bought you pretty good performance for the buck, as Intel sold you quad cores with minor single core and multicore uplifts for a lot of money, while at the same time old Westmere or Sandy Bridge Xeons had a pretty good balance of many cores with decent enough clock speeds / single core performance. Even I/O options did not improve by a lot in those years.

In 2022 buying old Xeons means you get stuff from the era where Intel started heavily deprioritizing single core performance over having a lot of cores in Xeons. 14+ lowly clocked Haswell cores still do well in synthetic benchmarks, but I don't think they're worth it for any real world workstation loads. Low clocked Haswell cores are outperformed by such things as the Alder Lake efficiency cores (easily) and even modern Android phones. The latest Zen cores and the Alder Lake performance cores will be worth at least twice the per core performance of one of those individual Haswell cores. Even if you say compile code all day it's probably not worth buying into a 200W behemoth that runs Firefox slower than the Android phone in your pocket.

How about token rewards that exchange for real money(or stable coin)?
The project will sell NFT licenses to back it.
Tokens can also be bought and spent to get prioritized attention to the problems, feature requests, and bugs.

Alongside an open forum, this will; 1. Reduce friction (no hassle of; finding a developer who will entertain your request and negotiate the terms with the person) 2. People can pool in tokens (other people who have the same problem can also contribute), and Above all, 3. encourage novice developers to participate.

While I agree that you can do this without a blockchain, Web3/tokenization will; 1. Make it easier for cross-border participation; 2. Encourage early participation (you can hang on to your token rewards and see the value increase when the project becomes popular), and ultimately, incentivize the project's advocacy.

Web3 unlocks ownership; by tokenizing the project, you enable the maintainers to own the project.

SQL is an incredible language with decades of theory and implementation behind it. I have never found an ORM to be better or faster or more useful than hand-written SQL for anything but the simplest of queries, and even then the benefit is debatable.
Many small disputes start as somebody threatening somebody else over like 1¢. Yeah like 1¢, I've gone through that, I've taken somebody to court after escalating the fuck out of a 1¢ cost. Small claims, went alone, the counterparty didn't go to negotiations, I spoke my piece, showed my evidence, corrected their translator because I spoke both languages perfectly, didn't interrupt the judge, suppressed laughter which the transcriber saw and smiled, but that's not harmful...and got everything I asked for, because I asked for exactly what I deserved. Compound interest too, 10% a year, so I can sell that debt to collections or hound that old landlady down myself, which would be a learning experience. Context, she cheated me out of the deposit and now owes me triple plus court costs plus another $45 item she cheated me out of, so like...payback is a bitch.

Biggest problem with small claims court, because there is a problem with it...don't sell popcorn. That is a problem, apart from that problem it's great but that is a problem and that means small claims has a problem...they should sell popcorn. And also the amounts are too small, small claims should go up to $50000, courts are the last to adjust for inflation, so it sucks.

And the judges get cheated out of wages can't even afford to protect themselves, the jury gets the minimum wage like what the fuck, that's disgusting, they should always get quadruple the minimum wage because they're participating in civil matters which is a legitimate priviledge of a law-abiding citizen.

But in court? You can win.
> Law is amazing and much older than programming...

And boy does it show. Recent events have me examining The Supreme Court and American law from a programmers perspective. And let me tell you, there are warts:

The Supreme Court is comprised of lifelong appointees, mostly in the dwindling twilight of their cognitive ability. This made sense when we didn't understand cognitive decline. Now with the rapid pace of technological progress, it's a joke. To be plain, I don't know of any ICs their age able to keep up. They move up or age out.

The whole legal rationalist ideal that you can start from the base principles of the constitution and reason up indefinitely is ridiculous. We programmers have all sorts of tooling to navigate code bases larger than we can readily keep in our heads. That tooling regularly fails us. The best programmers I've worked with regularly hit compiler errors. This all happens in the sterile environment of code. Why should I believe that judges, who can't even agree on whether to interpret the constitution in a modern lens or hold to its writers original intentions, are less susceptible to irrationality or bias or plain incompetence with far less tooling? A lot of modern psychology suggests they can't.

For all you programmers out there, read a handful of legal documents. As far as complex logical reasoning goes, it comes off like a kid building a treehouse compared to code for even simple web apps. The legal profession needs to recognize its limitations and catch up with the times. Here are some ideas:

- Rigorous, regular cognitive testing after for all licensed legal professionals older than 45. You have to pass a test to drive in old age, but you can sentence someone to life in prison no problem.

- Term limits for everyone, everywhere.

- In certain cases, law should embrace statistics. Certain cases aren't suited for proposition-like rule based reasoning. Law needs a larger tool chest that can make argument based not on precedent, but on what exists right now in American society.

Anthropomorphising automated systems also invokes certain other emotions. People are willing to forgive others for making honest mistakes, but ausomated systems should never be given such leniency because they will not learn from their mistakes.

The system didn't think anything, the system followed its programming as set out by the people who designed it. The system is either right or it simply doesn't work.

> U.S. coal power capacity peaked in 2011 at more than 317 gigawatts (GW), but steadily declined nearly 30% ever since, hitting a record high of 19.3 GW closed in 2015 and 13.1 GW closed in 2020. For context, coal’s share of U.S. electricity generation has plummeted from 50% a decade ago to less than 20% today.

> But the fundamental economic pressures pushing coal out of the U.S. electricity mix remain unchanged – 80% of existing coal plants across the country cost more to continue running than replacing them with new local wind or solar generation. Plant closure announcements have resumed their march to zero, with the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) reporting 12.6 GW of coal capacity will close in 2022, representing 85% of all electric generation capacity retirements this year.

> Coal’s outlook is even more grim over the next several years. S&P Global Market Intelligence reports utilities will close 51 GW of coal power between 2022 and 2027, followed by a “record plunge” in 2028 with more than 23 GW scheduled closures. Federal rules to keep coal ash and toxic metals out of drinking water will take effect that year – regardless of Supreme Court decisions on the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s authority to regulate greenhouse gas emissions – and many utilities are not investing in compliance upgrades for plants that keep losing money.
