Look at how many others here are saying that it will be "just a recession" in which Germans can "just wear a sweater", as opposed to people facing home heating bills rising 5-10X and complete shutdown of many factories from the lack of both power and feedstock.
Okay but all of that is irrelevant to the point I'm arguing, which is that you need user-side kernel-mode anti-cheat or the cheaters are much more numerous and pass some point where the game is not fun to play for most non-cheaters. And redesigning the game to be cheater-unfriendly by adding vehicles and stuff is just limiting the game experiences you can have, because someone doesn't like rootkits (luckily, most players don't care).
Manipulating the public and business associates in order to become worth 200+ billions of dollars seems to me to require quite a lot of social savvy. So does the regular interactions with people that go with founding a company.

I think someone can be a bad spouse without necessarily suffering from a social skill disorder. And someone suffering from a social skill disorder can be a good spouse, so I don't know that divorce really tells us much.
I did this, works great until you realize how easy it is to pause blocking.
> ...companies can’t expect to capture most of the value they create...

One does not have to capture "most of the value" to be profitable.

In fact, aiming to capture _most_ of the value is what creates customer ill will because _some_ of the value has to go to the customers.
I mean, it could seriously threaten crop yields and thus our ability to feed ourselves.

Maybe it won't wipe out everyone - but like 90% of the population. That's still an absolute nightmare.

It's just a threat on an entirely different scale to everything else we are facing.

> Just so the situation is clear, half of Germany energy is imported from Russia.

Not energy, but only gas.

> What does this mean for people on the ground? Energy prices can easily go 10x (so a $300 bill becomes $3000/month).

Almost no household pays $300 for heating here. We life in a large flat and paid 120€/month last year (including warming all water for the year).

> You’d have to drop the heating of your home by 20 degrees and you’ll still be seeing $1000/month bills.

If we drop heating altogether our flat cools down to 11°C during winter (found out the hard way because our heating system broke down during winter a few years ago), so reducing heating by 100% means a delta of 9°C. Reducing target temperature to 18°C instead of 20°C would save perhaps 25% of gas. I personally expect increases of about 1000€ for the whole heating season for our household (i.e. about triple costs).

The German depencence on gas is bad for multiple reasons, but your numbers are quite hyberbolic.
Now, they are really quiet today and are still struggling to admit their foolishness, since they have now realised years later that they have become Europe's biggest fools, such that it's even more embarrassing to them that it also came directly from Trump, alongside with other points he specifically made at the time which aged like fine wine.

So Germany will indeed learn the hard way, despite ignoring the repeated warnings.

I agree: nobody is fooled by your baseless claims that we can build dams where there's no transportation infrastructure. How does heavy machinery get to the site? How does the concrete get poured?
It seems to me like the war will succeed in its goal in some form or another - the world has drastically changed, and we might be seeing the end of Europe as a global economic power.

After Russia is finished with Europe we might have a far smaller economy, while they rebound with ease because what they sell can be sold anywhere at some price. Gas alone has done like a 20x in price. Even if Ukraine is a frozen conflict in 6 months, some of those billions will be used to attempt to re elect Trump, and if he wins, then Europe will be left alone (and helpless) to fight Russia, who seems to easily outnumber and outfight European nations. The fact is Russia is willing to do anything to take over Ukraine, while the West has “limits”. Those limits are the seeds of our downfall in Ukraine. Then if Trump will end Article 5 of NATO and then we might see chaos.

Russia is in a decent position to come out the winner of this, and the western media is dangerously underreporting this.

They sure could, and may end up doing that but I'd bet it's going to be politically unpalatable.

The worst thing is that people seem not to realize the long-term effect. Everyone is talking about the winter.

Idea differ in the degree of virality however. They also differ in the degree of parasitism; some are designed to spread as much as possible with no regard for the longevity of the host. Cults, as an extreme example, seize upon vulnerable adolescents using relatable & poisonous ideas. Ideas designed to foreclose the identities of their hosts as fast as possible in order to add new members to the cult. Kind of like a "ponzi scheme" but for insecure and fashionable group identities.

One antibody could be questions about "time" that adults ask and teens do not. Teens haven't lived long enough to know that a dark feeling that feels like forever could just be one moment in their lives. I think my parents helped me avoid parasitic beliefs in my adolescence by asking me good questions.
That's a cliche that's not historically accurate.

Napoleon's army occupied Moscow by late summer. They started their retreat in early fall, and got stuck in the mud. His army had been mostly destroyed before winter even started.

In the first world war, the German army fought through 3 winters in Russia before Russia surrendered.

In the second world war, the German army fought through 3 winters before they were defeated.

In the February 2022 Russian invasion in to Ukraine, the Russian army got stuck in the mud and was forced to abandon their siege of Kiev under heavy losses.

The Russian winter isn't necessarily any more pleasant for the Russians than for their enemies. I'm sure they made use of the climatic circumstances, but the weather didn't do the work for them. Napoleon and the nazis were both defeated by an opponent with a better grand strategy and logistics.
This is an uninformed and sexist viewpoint of differences between men and women. Women cry more.. men bottle it up and let it out as a form of aggression usually to people who are no the source of stress.

Ask yourself why are men the ones committing mass shootings and not women? There is probably a large mental health gap that needs to be addressed, and the resistance to getting therapy or being in touch with feelings has to do with this “men don’t cry” BS.

Such a crazy idea of our own OS's being the source of interruptions. Even iOS is getting in on this with the Maps app I noticed the other week, I'd even count iTunes displaying a bunch of random album titles that are on the ugly end of the spectrum in my opinion. At least iTunes uses the same batch of images so one can train to ignore it. It's kind of interesting to conceptualize the OS as like this pesky idle assistant just hungry for attention and with nothing to do who likewise feels its owner is just as idle as them with free time and free attention to spare. "My owner isn't doing anything special or fun, let me bug him with this visual distraction". It's even funny at a meta level to even observe myself getting riled up over this growing assault.

It's interesting you say impossible to use without it, I wonder if a certain subpopulation of folks are more prone to these traps. Basically those with a high degree of attention to detail, those with sharp powers of observation, and those juggling a ton of things in their lives where spare mental capacity is on the short end of the spectrum.

I think the caveat to this is that iterators are a fundamentally different programming 'construct' than a statement block using an index to access elements of a container and then having that index increase with each loop.

I tend to treat iterators as a non-factor when discussing semantics of a language as I will always default to them not being a 'language-level' construct. I am not a fan of iterators in any case, but then again, I don't particularly like any higher level constructs in my 'run-time' code.

Sure. But it's not extinction. One of the contributors to the current crisis was decades of environmental messaging predicting imminent and epic disaster. When that didn't come voters tuned out.
Did you read the article?

> However, seawater concentrations of uranium are controlled by steady-state, or pseudo-equilibrium, chemical reactions between waters and rocks on the Earth, both in the ocean and on land. And those rocks contain 100 trillion tons of uranium. So whenever uranium is extracted from seawater, more is leached from rocks to replace it, to the same concentration. It is impossible for humans to extract enough uranium over the next billion years to lower the overall seawater concentrations of uranium, even if nuclear provided 100% of our energy and our species lasted a billion years
Chipmakers warned: US CHIPS Act funds are not for 'stock buybacks'
None of that says that they're trying to unmask people. That could also be editorializing by the article author. That could also mean, in a literal sense, that they just want to quantify how many people are unknown quantities, and what code they're contributing. You can make the logical leap to unmasking, but it is still a leap.
You can write a longform blog post and submit it to HN, I would read it. Ribbonfarm's "The Gervais Principle" (2009) [0] is a top example of a very long blog post split over multiple parts, yet insightful enough to be shared widely on HN and still provoke thought, long after a first read.

It should all be down the applications need for client side interactions. Even with hotwire/turboframes, phoenix liveview or other websocket / real time server driven update patterns, it can be suboptimal for many catagories of applications as these rely on (albeit smart) whole replacement of DOM nodes. In heavy applications, or applications that have a lot of represented state, its not the panacea it might seem at first glance.

In terms of a dry 960 page reference book, with references to studies, Code Complete is good and I refer to it and tell others to refer to it. Uncle Bob's Clean Code covers the same ground, but the book has a narrative drive, gives examples, and is stylistically well written (although people may or may not agree with certain ideas).

I think both books are good but I usually recommend people read Clean Code first. It is an easier read, and it is also half the size so they're more likely to finish it.
As a newly-graduated mechanical engineer with 8 years of being on the TI-8(1|2|3) bandwagon, I bought a HP-35s six months after graduating because my co-worker would consistently get answers faster than me on his calculator. It's just faster to key in everyday things in RPN vs infix notation.
I wouldn't dismiss labels so quickly.

Having a label gives you context to understand what is happening. It gives you a path forward with your treatment. It gives you access to documentation, support groups, and a community who are dealing with the same things.

Changing a diagnosis means you likely lose all of these and have to start over.

Then there is medication that can significantly change how your mind works. I likely have long-lasting damage to my nervous system from the anti-psychotic I need to function.

Finite difference derivatives are the basis for a range of numerical methods for solving differential equations. Given that these techniques underpin various areas of modern engineering, I'd say your statement that 'differentiation [...] cannot be accurately estimated using numerical methods' is demonstrably incorrect. I think you're fishing for something like 'there exist functions whose derivatives cannot be accurately estimated numerically'. Presumably some assumptions have been made which rule out such functions in using finite difference schemes in practical applications.

> Germans will put a sweater inside their houses and turn the thermostat down.

They've been already been doing that to save money. We have friends there, they sleep at 18°C. I don't expect them to sleep at 16°C now.
Many countries are expected to see population decline which will have negative economic effects, but the actual change in population isn't that great. For example Russia's population is projected to decline 18% over the next 30 years, and they're one of the worst cases. Overall world population is projected to continue increasing, leveling out around 11 billion in 2100. Many of these people will be born into nations that are in the process of industrializing, or immigrate to the developed world, either way increasing their carbon footprint. The odds are extremely against demographic shifts alone decreasing emissions in this century.

More generally, Zeihan's population projections generally discount immigration. While that might be reasonable for some particularly immigration averse societies like Japan, most developed nations have a positive feedback loop where the more young people they need, the more young people they welcome. Quite a few countries with very low birthrates like Germany are nevertheless expected to still see population growth over the next 30 years driven primarily by immigration.
What confuses me is that everyone is pledging net-zero by some date but emissions keep rising. So somehwere someone is "laundering" emissions. A quick perusal of the offset-credit industry shows that there is massive recycling (reuse) of credits, relabeling of existing sinks as offsets and all the financial engineering and shenanigans that happen when commons are financialized.

This all makes me very skeptical of lean towards the opinion that climate salvation lies in an alternate energy source which makes fossil fuels uneconomic.
