Seems like "X Window" system: the right solution to the wrong problem.

1) Non-problem: censorship. You can register domains in many different countries. Companies have no problem registering their domain.

2) Real problem: domain squatters. Can't see GNS solves this.

3) Real problem: sometimes people need to type (or verify) domain names. If there is no global ownership of "google.com", how do I know I'm at the right site and not a phishing site?

4) Real problem: DNS records are very limited in what they can contain (so TXT is abused for many things). GNS does not improve on this and is still a binary protocol, adding more complexity.

5) Privacy is already solved using "DNS over https". No need for reinventing the wheel completely.

6) Non problem: DNS is centralized. DNS is working very reliable and the central structure makes it easy to figure out why stuff does not work. A decentralized network is a nightmare for "why does DNS resolver fail".
Of course one should be compassionate and understanding of others, except towards those who are violent, or advocates for violence, or hate, or those who expressly support those who do, or indirectly, or by inaction allow them to exist.

…say the people advocating for ostracism and demonization of their opponents. I agree with this article; there is entirely too much of that kind of behavior going on, and not enough of its opposite.
Is it really necessary all this verbosity to convey ideas? I feel like all this sugarcoat is just to excesively protect people's feelings, a tendency that is spreading everywhere lately.
> The alternative isn't nothing. The alternative is either Java, Qt, Gnome, Slint, rolling your own, doing per OS UI, etc.

I said IF the alternative is nothing. IF. Read that again. Read the whole context. Words are important. Don't skip them. Stop cherry-picking. Your point is only true IF I have money, time and knowledge to use those. I might not have it. Are you gonna come to my company and code all this stuff, for free? Most game teams don't have the budget, so they won't have a custom editor and will have to use something like Unity/Unreal/Godot. And most potential engine writers don't have the budget for writing editors, hence my mention that there is a place for something generic.

> don't mind paying performance tax for stuff they don't need

The performance tax is higher in some JetBrains projects. It is also significantly higher in Visual Studio Enterprise than in VSCode. "Integrated" doesn't mean "faster".

> Your idea is a generic game editor vs something specific like Warcraft 3 editor

It's not. My idea was an open-source scene editor that engines can choose to support when they can't make a proprietary and engine-specific scene editor. You're the one who brought Warcraft 3 into the conversation. I also don't understand the "vs" part. Let me try to simplify my point to you: People who have time and money make X, should have X. People who can't make X, would ideally have an Y option too.

If you don't want to use such an editor, just don't use it, period. Claiming it won't be helpful to people and a community that wouldn't otherwise be able to build an alternative is asinine.

> I don't use WebStorm but yeah a browser (VSCode) is better at rendering JS than a Java IDE (IntelliJ).

"Rendering JS"? This is nonsensical, the JS code is run either in a browser during dev time or in a separate process for typechecking. An IDE is not a runtime. Please inform yourself before making such ludicrous statements.

> And I showed

You really haven't demonstrated anything, sorry. The cherry-picked CLion example doesn't negate the fact that there are counterexamples. Your ignorance doesn't invalidate the counterexamples. To me it sounds as if you're completely out of your depth here and just trying to win a random internet argument, and has absolutely nothing to contribute to this conversation. What you propose already exists but costs money. Why can't we have the alternative?
"as along as it is given the same ASIN"

That's the crux of the problem.

Items from different vendors should have different ASINs.
Storm-ravaged Bahamas rebuilding its power grid with emphasis on solar energy
So here contrarians are mutually exclusive with facts?
This is why some places have net metering arrangements for PV. Energy provided at your yearly and daily peak and located at your demand centers and so reducing peak transmission load? Worth far more than the 1 for 1 offer adopted purely for convenience due to how old meters worked.

Yet Texas doesn't have such a policy statewide. Because a simple money saving idea got politicised and lots of people got convinced they were subsidizing liberal elites, rather than paying their neighbours for providing a useful service.
> Anyone who has spent time arguing on social media has heard of the straw man fallacy.

I think the main issue is the folly of arguing on social media. It is a setup for dehumanizing and vilifying the other.

I think most arguments on social media are about snark and signaling to your own tribe how smart you are more than actually trying to understand the truth or convince people holding a different view.

Conversations among friends over a beer are much more likely to enlightening and possibly persuasive.

I would agree. I spent a lot of time working closely with my bike shop working on fit. Many sessions over a couple years learning things about fit that you don't really notice until after your first really long ride.
> So they made it easier to justify attacks, and harder to prosecute such attacks as war crimes?

Yes.

It's worth noting that the idea of "international law" really only became a thing with the Nuremberg trials. Before that it was assumed people would do the right thing, or something...
New Medical Doctor Degree Apprenticeship Launched
Obviously everyone's preferences are different, so this isn't a direct response but just another anecdote.

I tried VS Code and couldn't get used to it. So now I use Rider for C# and Webstorm for JS. Sometimes I open Visual Studio, though:

> There are some custom plugins someone in my org wrote that help accomplish some team-specific tasks
> When I need to work on stored procedures in our SQL databases. Rider doesn't know how to parse the schema from the sql project files, instead it wants me to connect to a live database or it will color everything with little red underlines and give me no autocomplete

I think it's nice that my employer is willing to pay for my Jetbrains licenses despite the fact that it is selling a proprietary competitor and also simultaneously pushing an open source alternative. I appreciate it.
Idk it’s basic workplace trading now, I think most people plugging in a random usb here are at least doing it in an isolated VM or something.
The first time I saw the night sky in an area with little light pollution is something I hope I'll never forget. I was at a campsite on the coast of denmark, not somewhere particularly rural or far from the nearest town (the campsite itself was quite big and fancy with a large pool and spa, etc).
I got up in the middle of the night to go the toilet, and when I saw the sky I just stopped and stared for a long time. It really does look like those photos you see, for example the first image on the wikipedia article for the night sky is similar to what I remember, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Night_sky.
I could see too many stars to count, shooting stars, I could even just about make out the milky way. I actually had trouble picking out constellations because the usual reference points just didn't stand out amongst the noise.
I later moved my sleeping bag outside and fell asleep looking at the sky.
There's an important distinction: License. OpenJDK is GPL2.0, .NET runtime is MIT. They may be same in terms of openness, but not in freedom sense.

As a result, OpenJDK is much more sustainable in the long term, since it can't be closed down and crippled as easily.

While I am no enemy of MIT/BSD style licenses, the "freedoms" they provide to corporations are damaging to open source ecosystem in my eyes.

OpenJ9 looks like EPL licensed, and indeed interesting. It's worth a look.

I'm not writing Java with any considerable volume for some time (because, I didn't need that), hence I was just keeping that in my peripheral vision without paying much attention. However, I'm using Eclipse because it's a great IDE for my needs, and comes with OpenJ9 embedded.

Thanks for bringing this to my attention, will look deeper.
Agile – The Lord of the Uncertainty
The idea of light "pollution" is insane to me. It's not pollution, it's human civilisation's evolution.

I consider myself very lucky to be born and live during these disastrous times when we pollute the sky with light.
Climate change is both.

People proposing nuclear energy as this wonderful overlooked strategy are not consider why it's consistently self limiting.

It's not a "solved" problem inthe long term
Project Orion did not use fission bombs the size of a soda can. It may have used bombs whose CORE was the size of a soda can, but to get that to explode requires much more high explosive (than in a typical nuclear weapon) to implode it more aggressively. That's fine, as the mass of all that high explosive acts as reaction mass.
The lines between real life and social media are blurring. You hear more and more commonly about people cutting all ties with old friends or even family members about relatively simple things. It’s a more accepted thing to do now – complete ostracism of those who we disagree with – instead of trying to find common ground.
Work has been done on this kind of issue, see e.g. https://github.com/l7mp/stunner
I'm really impressed by this idea. I've never heard of the idea of "star-manning" an argument before, I presume the author invented it, it's good food for thought.

There's another interesting term in here - "ideological capture" - seems like this refers to the state where a person or organization is supporting policy based on ideology or group identity rather than what policy would yield the best outcomes for all of the people involved.

I don't think star-manning is a replacement for steel-manning. More like there are situations where no matter how well you steel-man someone's argument, they're not going to listen, because you don't like each other (or each other's views). Maybe the place where this idea is most applicable is when someone else is in an adversarial mode, it's really the person themselves that you need to "star-man" to establish that common ground is possible and get them into a cooperative mode.
Responsibility refers here to is transporting actual humans (that will die or will be maimed in case of an accident).
Information already found a way as it's been on LibGen for a long time. What we are discussing now is completely different: someone is profiting from the guy's work using Amazon's platform and this problem extends not to just other authors but all kinds of goods that are counterfeit. This hurts the original creators and vendors and acts as a disincentive in creating value. In the end, it hurts everybody.

> Any culture that automates agriculture to a sufficient level will eventually go extinct in the absence of a technological solution

Sample size: zero. Apart from that I doubt a society should reduce agricultural and horticultural occupations to zero. This is not healthy. We're already using by far too much machinery in developed countries.

He didn't list the worst part (for DT): the volumetric power density of the reactors will suck compared to fission reactors. So not only will the reactors be much more complex than fission reactors, they will also be far larger. How can this possibly be a cheaper source of heat?

Fusion's going to have to go with advanced fuels to have a chance. For that and various related reasons, I consider Helion the least dubious of the fusion efforts.
> GNU remains unusable for the majority.

GNU provides a set of tools that are useful to people who make software. Most people don't make software, so GNU doesn't target their needs. There's other software for most users.

Most people can't play the guitar, but that doesn't mean guitars "don't work" and "something should be done to fix" them. The people who want to make music spend the requisite time to learn them, then they make music. People who just want to hear that music can buy it without having to own or learn guitar.
Not like they are just using battery voltage for SOC, they are coulomb counting with a shunt, so you only need to charge to 100% once in a while to account for drift.

LFP gets 2x the cycle count at 100%-0% as a NMC does at 80%-20%. Due to its lower cell voltage it has less voltage driven aging than NMC.

Elon: "I’d personally slightly opt for iron pack, as it wants to be charged to 100%, whereas nickel prefers ~90%."

In that case, it would change the Python result dramatically as well.

But I don't think it would be fair: I use Python a lot, and if it's for scripting, you are happy with the fact it's very easy to write. However, it's slow to start, and you pay that each time you run the script.

To me, it makes sense in this exercice, which is heavily leaning toward scripting, we see the price of the VM start in the overall profiling.

Otherwise, let's use pypy, warm it up, a few 1000 times, and you may get closer to Go times.

But we don't use pypy for scripting.
I think the point is that "North Korea bad" is both regrettably true and an overly simplistic way to look at the current situation without really thinking about the history of the Korean peninsula, the causes of the split, the war and what roles our own governments had in causing the entire situation. This doesn't change the indisputable fact that the Kim regimes have been brutal and that the DPRK is truly a nightmarishly awful place to live, but it lets a lot of other people off the hook.
Did you know that for predicting what you'll see 100ms into the future you need a level of real-time 3D recognition and world knowledge that we haven't ever solved acceptably, not even offline and parts of it in isolation?

While I agree with you that in 50 years, advances in AI will make fast hardware obsolete, it may well be that in 5 years, fast hardware will be able to avoid problems that we cannot yet solve in software. That would mean this company has 45 years to cash in before they get replaced by software.
> or by inaction allow them to exist.

So basically anyone who is not as passionate about some random issue as you are. This is a problem, you can’t even ask to talk about something else without becoming the enemy.
It makes sense to me.

Often, I see people arguing straw or steel with either their limited view of the oponents position or with the basic asumption that their oponent is an idiot or malicious.
The only thing that needs to be globally recognized are public keys. The distribution of those public-key/identity pairs is a social problem that the existing DNS/PKI does not solve but rather makes worse.

Yeah, I don't recall personally hearing those two strung together like that, but we definitely say them individually. I was surprised learning that not every English speaking country says 'ta' as a short version of 'thanks'.

> Except the large majority of buildings are not going to last anywhere close to 100 years, and they will be very likely be replaced with better buildings long before that.

We need a quote on that. And no, "bulidings last on average 100 years without doing anything to them" is not it.

"Replaced with better buildings" inevitably means "displacing large swaths of population". Because you can't just wave a magic wand and replace houses. For the past 4 years I've lived in a district built in th 60s. So, 60 years ago. If you're telling me that those dozens of building with hundreds of people living in them will be just up and replaced, you're delusional.
There are simple observations that even non climatologists can do that show the climate warming up. For example, here's a look at the glaciers in glacier national park: https://www.nps.gov/glac/learn/nature/glacier-repeat-photos....

Or one can ask why the shipping routes in Northern Canada would start becoming passable if the climate isn't warming up.

Or ask why we keep on beating heat records in the last decade.
He's just a scapegoat, it's been going on for years and you can easily verify it, just check when any coin/token has been listed on Coinbase (the twitter announcement, from the Coinbase pro account since that's where they usually got listed first), then check the price for that time period, the price usually starts increasing a week before.

Add this to them blocking withdrawals for assets whenever these assets start pumping on other exchanges and lots of people try to withdraw at the same time, and multiple other shady practices most exchanges do (but not all, for example Kraken has been decent for quite some time and are one of the few exchanges that are pro transparency when it comes to their reserves) and you get yourself Finance 2.0, where the few are allowed to prey on the many, and you can't compete with the few (for example when Arthur Hayes was kicked out and replaced by Sam Bankman Fried).

Sometimes, when discussing controversial or polarizing ideas, you do need extra signaling to convey that you're taking them seriously. It would be nice to live in a world wherein this could be taken for granted, and someday perhaps we will. Alas, not in these times.
> In either case, the perpetrator's motive is to perpetrate factitious disorders, either as a patient or by proxy as a caregiver, in order to attain (for themselves or for another) a patient's role. Malingering differs fundamentally from factitious disorders in that the malingerer simulates illness intending to obtain a material benefit or avoid an obligation or responsibility

Personally, I would not consider clout in mental health communities to be 'material benefit'
Can you prove that their "overengineering" makes things worse? And not just in the short term, but also for maintainability down the road, accounting for their developer experience and job satisfaction, etc? Otherwise maybe it's just a healthy level of engineering, knowing the details that person knows.

The management advice I was given is that if you don't first trust people, they will never get a chance to show you that they are deserving of said trust. And showing that is allowed to take some time.

Another thing I try to keep in mind is that I might not always trust each individual in their decisions, but I always trust a team decision over my own. So when in doubt, involve more people on the team.

As one counterexample is enough to disprove your "[2]" :-) :

Until it'll be bypassed by the new Rastatt tunnel, there's at least one mechanical signal box left between Karlsruhe and Offenburg (Durmersheim) which sees regular and frequent intercity traffic. Until very recently there used to be another one immediately north of it (Forchheim) [1], but due to the construction works for the junction with the new high-speed line it was replaced with a new computer-based interlocking in 2018.

[1] And a mechanical block post in-between, but that one was more or less permanently switched out and was probably last used in 2009, when during construction works the parallel line via Ettlingen was closed,

> And in my experience, the people that tend to go into a cave for a few hours and produce a solution will tend to produce the wrong solution. Because no spec or ask is perfect; you should be asking clarification and follow-up questions (even obvious ones!) to understand what is actually wanted.

Genuinely, if there are so many questions that few hours of solitude are red flag, then something is massively wrong with the process at hand. It really means that tasks are less then underspecified and likely means testing/demoing processes are completely lacking.

> In more complex systems you might be working on a very small part, and exiting into the sun with a system that doesn't fit the rest of the system means you've spent the past 7-8 hours engineering a solution to the wrong problem.

Sure, you work in small part. But if all this is routine issue due to 7-8 hours if engineering, then the system is likely mess too difficult to decipher. It also means the development is overly chaotic. The developers working on the project should build up knowledge of the rest of the system overtime, this is somehow failing.
I used to use Visual Studio and VSMac for my F# experimentation. Over the past couple of years, Ionide has got so much better that I've switched completely over to it from VS for all my F# work. The new 7.0 release a couple of days ago looks to have continued this trend.
