My experience is similar. I started drinking coffee when I was around 15 and only took two very brief breaks like <2-3 weeks through my 30's. The acute withdrawal was hell. A few years back I decided to quit caffeine for one year and get fully past the acute withdrawal. The withdrawal was hell and so was the long withdrawal. I never felt normal for a full year. I slept great but felt mentally and physically sluggish, esp. mentally, for the whole year. The drug docs call this long withdrawal PAWS for "post-acute withdrawal syndrome". Most doctors are oblivious that it applies to caffeine too. I made it a full year and resumed drinking coffee and my mind and energy improved immediately. I only drink about 2 cups in the AM now but I am very slowly weening myself off by by gradually reducing the number of scoops of coffee in my brew to protect my sleep.

I smoked for about 2 years in grad school but had no problem quiting. One day I just stopped and like you I had no desire after the initial urge was gone. Maybe I was not fully addicted yet.
This will eat up part of it for sure though the blocks, by design, are meant to be laid end to end and stacked. You can clearly see the notch in the bottom of the block in the photo and the triangular ridge on the top nests into that ridge so that you can build walls of any height by overlapping these blocks as you add the next layer to tie them together. Seems like a simple engineer's signature is all that would be required for that if that was even necessary. Highly debatable and definitely part of the invoice padding if that's how it worked.

The bulk of copper used in cars is for wiring everything up, not motors or batteries.
And again, the article does the same mistake they always do: attack wind and solar more than fossil or hydro. Instead of selling nuclear as the ideal companion to solar, it's always a sad try to convince us that we are wrong investing in solar and eolic, and the money should be going to more nuclear.

My guess is that utilities are not happy with the decentralization of PV. They like fossils, hydro and nuclear because you can't run them in you backyard at competitive prices. But you can buy PV and thermosolar on friday at Home Depot, slap it to the roof, and have a better ROI than any utility starting sunday. Get a Powerball or something similar, and they would never see another dollar from your pocket.

They, nuclear lobby, are known to be maneuvering to get more nuclear reactors installed quickly before is too late, but on conditions like: 1) government subsidizes the costs, 2) they assume possible overbudgets, 3) insures the plants for 100 years or so, and 4) guarantee an income for 50 years, in concept of "backup". For that they need a favorable public opinion, begging for more nuclear plants, and the politics would abide.

I am aware of the history of the term and how it was taken up and popularized by the OSI. It has served an important and useful purpose. That said, they can't camp on a general purpose term. It isn't like "Champagne", which is a region with ~clear boundaries.
Add UAW to that list.
Yeah. Someone had a friend who needed some public money and would be happy to buy them lunch, or a boat or something, if they got that contract.
Open source was not invented by the OSI; they claim that, but you can easily find press releases going back to the 80s using the term.

But yes, on the popularity bend, you're correct -- the OSI basically was a giant PR campaign, started by Netscape to publicize their going-out-of-business sale as a good thing, actually. Most importantly, they specifically wanted to separate themselves from the FSF project's four freedoms, which they viewed as antithetical to business -- or rather, antithetical to any business who wanted to buy the charred remains of Netscape, like AOL. So they started with Debian's DFSG, and whittled it down until they had something they could sell.

In my opinion, people argue about terminology too much rather than the freedoms and the society we want to build, but that's just the internet, sometimes.

It's mining dot com trumpeting the S&P Mineral Intelligence position on the recent independant Copper position report .. anticipatinting a potential crunch in 15 years if not averted now by investment in developing projects.

The average time figure quoted is best read as "typically, in the absence of the demand we see ramping up now..." and reflects a typically sedate pace for mineral projects which have 50+ year lifespans with trannational owners who overlap exploration, development, and production.

Yeah, if you want a system with private property then it needs men with guns who can kick peoples' doors down. And if you want that system to not be utterly horrible there's gonna be taxes that are enforced by men with guns kicking your doors down. I didn't introduce the men with guns here, that came with the private property. You can't have one without the other.

It takes a fair bit to go from hearing about a game to being addicted to it. What game is it?

Renewables + storage + more transmission lines will require construction projects of magnitude much smaller than would be required for enough nukes.

Nobody knows what storage would cost because there is no technology that currently exists to make storage possible. Battery technology helps a lot to stabilize the grid over seconds to minutes or even hours, but the kind of storage that would be needed to be 100% solar and wind just doesn't exist. Pumped hydro is great but there are not many places where it is feasible.

So the reality of the current situation is that solar and wind are cheap now since when they are a relatively small percentage of the power and you can fall back on gas and coal storage isn't really needed. But in the future the costs of solar and wind will skyrocket since you'll need to overbuild the capacity by a huge amount, plus build lots of expensive transmission infrastructure, to work around the fact that storage technology at the appropriate scale doesn't exist yet.
The barriers in the article photograph are DOT certified. They are routinely used to channel traffic flow on sections of highway under construction, to contain building materials like crushed stone for road base, sand, etc. When the project is completed they either go into storage for the next stretch of highway or they are sold as surplus.
What you just described sounds like an intentional conspiracy:

> team up […] to find ways to feed the never-ending demand for performative action (backed by [billions] of dollars) with a supply of expensive temporary solutions [that enrich themselves]

If you’re spending most of the money on politicians, their friends, and bourgeois — for the purpose of virtue signaling rather than fixing the problem — you’re a second problem.

It is not from the benevolence of the butcher, the brewer, or the baker that we expect our dinner, but from their regard to their own self-interest. We address ourselves not to their humanity but to their self-love, and never talk to them of our own necessities, but of their advantages.
Overbuild of solar and wind has become cheap. But overbuild required is nowhere near that commonly assumed.

Storage will of course be built too, at overwhelmingly less cost than nukes, and much, much faster. But, first, the generation capacity to charge it up from.

> If you can make it support the autoscaling Spark jobs, the jupyter-hub env the analysts use, and all our GRPC API’s, and have everything mTLS’d together, and have all of DNS+cert + routing magic with similar setup and maintenance effort, I’ll convert.

Let's define what you're talking about here and I can show you the way.

What is the difficulty in autoscalling Spark jobs?
What jupyter env do they use?
You say grpc api. That's genericm what do those services really do? Sync request/response backed by a db? Async processing? What infra do they need to "work"

As long as the supposed topic of this thread (TSMC put up a building, but so far it has no fab equipment inside) is so irrelevant, can I ask something off topic but slightly related?

SMIC is supposedly shipping 7nm chips now. There was a big national security thing to prevent SMIC from getting access to ASML EUV steppers. Does their 7nm process mean they now have made their own EUV gear? Or did they get ASML steppers after all? It seemed weird for such a critical technology to stay single sourced from just one company for so many years.

LinkedIn cringe is arguably worse in non-sales areas. Salespeople understand they're in the Matrix. Non-salespeople don't realize they're sucked up into this awkward world.

That distinction doesn't really matter here. The point is that no matter whether I vote or not, the size of the effect of my decision is roughly the same, namely 1 vote. Therefore the fact that I'm only 1 vote is not in itself an argument for deciding either way.

Article author here, I admit this is fairly specifically targeted at the term "Open Source" as that's specifically the term I believe to see misapplied most often. I wanted to write an article that I could share to provide some context when raising issues regarding licensing. While I could have gone a lot deeper into also describing "free software" and the history of the terms, I wanted something rather direct that won't serve more confusion (Since often this could be the first introduction to the meanings of "Open Source" and "free software").

Maybe I could add a "Further Reading" section at the end though with links to such topics.

This application can help you store those strings with a few word description and an associate image to identify the string. For example, if you're a mechanical designer (like me), you might want to set string as a frequently used Part numbers (or assembly numbers) with an image and description, so you will be able to identify the Part number, copy it and paste to Product Data Management (PDM) or database to find or import design.

Suggestions are always welcome.

An additional question might be, "Do we want to allow a tiny group of people to declare that they, and only they, can pick a generic term like open source and then dictate that their definition is the only definition?"
This is not "Kleenex" or "Champagne". This is a generic term.
>free is not the right word in English, it has ambiguity and also, unproductive aspects of meaning.

I was not talking about free software as in the adjective free applied to software. But free software as in the term from the free software movement where its members call code that follows their ideals of what is ethical free software.

>It is a dramatic statement, not a logical one

The logical reason is that free software is less inclusive because it considers most SWE unethical for working on proprietary software. If the term open source works just as well and is more inclusive it should be used.
I find it amazing how people take the absolute shittiest practice from the past and compare it to k8s and reach the conclusion k8s is better.

Have you ever done IaC where the whole copy of the infra came up on deployment and traffic was shifted between old and new? And developers could spin up their own stack with one Cloudformation or Terraform command? Have you used cloud primitives that solve most of the problems you are reinventing with k8s?
That voltage stability is electromagnetically coupled to huge chunks of spinning iron. That's your inertia. It buffers voltage spikes. Solar, and surprisingly enough wind as well, do not contribute to this stability. It's one of the big challenges we need to figure out.
That table doesn't support your thesis, specially when you think of the one reactor being built in France.

Something being built means little when the time from "start" and "end" is meassured in decades. A better table would be "increase in nuclear output". E.g. fully self driving vehicles are being built, but little or none see the street, much less have a positive ROI.

Planned and proposed is even worse. A lot of them would never leave that status. Only energy super eager countries like China or India are effectively increasing nuclear capacity, and in a way that nobody knows if they are financially sound investments.
I’d be interested in understanding the educational background of these founders. I’ve worked with massive numbers of H1Bs of questionable skills, none of whom will ever found a unicorn. Typically the rockstars are from the Indian IITs, European elite universities, or similar. We’re importing too much chaff, and could improve our filters to get the extremely high quality engineers.

To be fair, they have a lot to complain about.

You know how they discovered radon gas was a problem in basements? A guy working at a nuclear power plant showed up at work one day and tripped their radiation detectors.

There was more radiation in a random guy’s basement than at the entire nuclear plant.

Meanwhile, the Chinese are soaking up US subsidy money for producing solar panels using slave labor. They strip mine for toxic rare earth metals to do it, destroying the environment and using coal power to boot.

I think their complaints are justified.
Hi - since you're on credentials, I hold CKA, CKAD, and CKS.

I have spent my entire Kubernetes career unfucking the people three degrees removed from you who hear advocacy like this and say wow, yeah, the people with gripes about Kubernetes are just moaning and overwhelmed. Meanwhile, a team at an unnamed government agency just allowed Accenture to con them into turning multiplayer Excel, a process which used to take two humans about a week, into an $18 million annual AWS system funded by the U.S. taxpayer. Because of choices-du-jour, including Spark and Kubernetes.

It just seems that in every thread people moan about people moaning about Kubernetes and then project their interpretation of what that moaning is after starting from the presupposition that it's moaning. If you'd instead listen to the other side instead of the basically-crypto-advocacy-train-choo-choo of "if you have gripes, you just don't get it," you'd understand the cons a little better. Such as my entire decade of professional Kubernetes consulting being every single computing project, including in the Fortune 500, the Department of Defense, and at second-tier VC startups in the Bay Area, being a complete operational disaster that's bleeding capital like it's free.

Capital is no longer free. Read the news.

I now wield my certifications to advise against Kubernetes in any capacity because it is a strategic risk unless resourced exactly right and funded exactly right (which is impossible to justify on infra budgets), simply because of the experience I have watching people like you come in, explain to leadership that it's fine, and then ride that salary until it doesn't suit you anymore and leave a system that takes 5-6 FTEs to comfortably administer on whoever gets to pick up the ball. For every comment you see on Hacker News where someone like you is saying "yeah, Kubernetes runs great for us," they're (a) leaving out the operational toil, particularly in the break-fix department where the entire Unix paradigm changes and (b) not realizing that there are five other teams like them that are completely underwater while trying to put out their overengineered tire fire.

And remember, nearly every project using Kubernetes is trying to do multiplayer Excel. That's it. And the more we invest in trying to make the world's most overcomplex computing system do that use case even harder, the less we think about "isn't there a simpler way to do all of this from first principles?"
