You are saying one can invest in a solar setup and have 7+ years of free electricity, and all that starting after 3.5 years?

In my experience, a week-long rotation is much more grueling than a daily rotation. Having to stay home for a single evening/night has much less impact for me than having to do it for a whole week.

Additionally, the impact on personal live of being Oncall on the weekend is bigger. At commercetools, we recognize this by paying more for an Oncall day on the weekend (200 EUR on Fri/Sat/Sun) vs. a day during the week (150 EUR).
Besides that, I simply need my rest and sleep to relax and be able to perform again. I love working in a team, as a team. But work is still work for me. I don't really care about some paid company holiday weekend or something. I'd rather do something nice with family or friends.

All scientific issues are controversial by definition. What is obvious is not called science. Even prehistoric men could throw rocks, and knew where they would fall.

Hmm, so this is what makes people die. Interesting.
But you can "see and watch" things in a text-based tutorial. Short video clips and images are a key part of it. Like I've said elsewhere - it's the "person talking" bit and the linear format that I struggle with. I can skim text+images whereas video+speech forces me to consume it in large chunks at a predetermined speed (1.5x not withstanding. That's only a minor improvement)
Engineers can run what they build during normal working hours.

Oncall is a scourge not because of the experience of technical problems, but because people already working full time have to arrange their lives outside of work around a second "oncall job". A job which occurs after hours, one out of every X weeks.

A dedicated, pure "Ops" night shift (perhaps in another time zone) would be more humane.
To be fair, there is a lot more information and educational material out there on how to build new products more effectively, the last 10 years or so. It still takes time to learn even the basics.

Of all the metalic elements, Zinc is relatively harmless and actually has been shown to inhibit the process of viral replication.

I had a very similar experience. I read the book from the library as a kid. I originally thought it was to do with ciphers, as I was into codes then. It introduced me to the programming section of the library, and I expanded to the math section from there. A couple of STEM degrees later and here I am.
I think the number given (6.1 terawatt hours) is just the total of not-used solar electricity for any reason, and the reasons are probably not all that clearly delineated and distinguishable. Another factor is that coal and nuclear plants cannot be spun down just because you have an abundance of solar power for half a day. And that's not the fault of solar power, or the grid, or bad planning.

Drone tech is going to get tiny. It’ll have microphones and cameras and it’ll probably be untraceable. It’ll spy on you arbitrarily and the equivalent of 4chan will have access to it in abundance. You will never again have any form of privacy unless you buy expensive countermeasures for your home and office. Fortunately deepfakes will be so good you can blame it all on that.
You don't free the pointer returned by getenv(), because the environment variables are already in memory and getenv() is just giving you a pointer to one of their values.

The most comfortable way to do a C API is to make the caller allocate space for return values (that aren't something simply copiable like int), and take a pointer to it as a parameter. The few standard library functions that malloc things are annoying, because you might not want to do that.
There is a growing body of evidence that this class of chemicals are problematic. It is difficult to speak generally as there are over 4000 of them. The EU remarks "Of the relatively few well-studied PFAS, most are considered moderately to highly toxic, particularly for children’s development"[1] and estimate costs of up to EUR 52-84 billion from health related effects.

It's a good question, and as a layman I don't have the answer. However, since it's able to model experiments in the Large Hadron Collider, I would assume that it makes predictions about the positions and velocities of high energy particles.

I’ve experienced similar. What are some of the questions you ask?
I was able to read about half the article before a black box appeared with text saying I was an “engaged reader.” After clicking on the question mark icon in the black box I was taken to a page where it was explained how the author has hidden “achievements” throughout their site and asks if I, the reader, can find them all.

This feels like the exact thing the author is rallying about in this post — technology designed to keep us in front of our screens.
Looking at your tracks page, is there a part of your site that explains what the differences are between Beta and non-Beta Tracks as well as what the stage counts signify? Or maybe just something in the FAQ that explains what your concept of a "stage" is in detail would be useful.

For example, why is Rust in Beta while Go isn't despite having the same number of stages? I'm assuming the determination is made based on something else, but do you go into what that is?

Rust is probably the language I'm most interested in using your site to learn and it currently has as many stages completed as Go (according to your tracks page), but you didn't mention it in your list of priority languages. Are stages user-contributed? Is that why Rust has more stages than Python or JS?

Is there anything that would stop a user from using any language without major impediments or hurdles?

Sorry for all the questions. I've just been really excited about seeing this platform develop!

The current article suggests obesity is the top modifiable dementia risk, which suggests that there's other risk factors that are more important and not modifiable.

It might be tricky to actually reward healthy lifestyles via health plans, since people generally need more care as they get older.
It’s a standard MLM tactic to pretend like some product at the bottom of the pyramid makes economic sense to sell. E.g. Herbalife sells some kind of herbs right?
I hear the “self-control” argument a lot, but that is definitely not all

Obesity hasn’t been an issue since somewhere in the 1970s. And not everyone was constantly starving before then. Yeah we are predisposed to eat more than we need but we have satiety signals, unlike some animals which will literally eat until they explode.

More importantly people display self-control in other regards. Lots of obese people have become really successful, lots are genuinely tough people. People have the self-control to finish school, work, and otherwise take care of themselves (e.g. keep the house clean). Why don’t they have the self-control to choose a steak and salad instead of pizza and fries?
I don't know about "big" in terms of a viral hit, but in terms of what will change in our day-to-day experience... Here are some wild guesses, mostly along the theme of a societal conversation about and re-thinking of "sustainability" on nearly all levels.

* Robotic carts that follow you around when shopping in dense, pedestrian oriented areas and/or stores. Might go hand in hand with the rapid normalization of e-bikes.

* An increase in eco-villages, apartment buildings with permacultured gardens growing their own food, etc.

* Some sort of push for groves of large trees in urban areas to provide shade, possibly in roundabouts, to reduce the heat-island effect.

* Somewhat decentralized water cisterns and filtration on a municipal level. Possibly including creating small holes in the bottom of drainage infrastructure to re-charge the groundwater.

* Constructing new clothes out of semi-recycled fabric cut out of items that would be thrown away?

* Short-hop electric plane taxi things.

* Energy generating windows ("transparent solar panels") and fabrics.

* The wide-spread use of plastic-alternatives: fully compostable packaging made out of mushrooms, etc.

The NSF SBIR funded projects page is a cool source for this sort of prediction.

Also:

* Much better voice interfaces. At some point in the next 10 years, it will be common to have primarily voice-controlled computer applications. There might be a huge role for this to play in hospitals.

The trick is, though, even though SBC is only marginally worse than lossless, because it's the lowest common denominator codec, you tend to see it with worse DACs that also have to do with the end audio quality. When you use codecs like LDAC, you tend to also see them with high quality components that would make it seem like it's LDAC that's doing the work, but it's in reality just a bonus.
Ah, that's unfortunate. My (wild, speculative) guess is that he's left that part of his career behind, after he was burned by the Windows team dropping the ball on native development multiple times.
Sysadmins. Those people are sysadmins.

I don’t know why we need to have a job title treadmill for this; I hate not knowing what your definition of “devops” or “SRE” is when interviewing. (Both as a person who interviews others and is interviewed by others).

Before anyone says it: Sysadmins could code (not to the same level as feature folk), shitty operators pretending to be sysadmins couldn’t.
If by "few people" you mean "few people of the sort you might encounter on HN" then I'd be willing to bet the next big not-much-discussed thing comes out of China, maybe India. The sheer number of engineers in those two countries virtually guarantees some of sort revolutionary tech being developed there and taking the world by storm (I wouldn't exactly call TikTok revolutionary but it's a foretaste of what's to come).
Enjoy that, I suppose. NATO nations enjoy a high level of peace and protection from the threats of nuclear war thanks to Americans footing the bill for their defense. We are largely happy to do it, but I think you’ll see a growing “ok, have fun without us” conversation with countries that aren’t realistic about America’s contributions. If we don’t spend spend spend to have the military resources to provide other countries, Ukraine would have likely fallen some time ago. Many more people would be dead.

What I think you don’t realize is that most normal Americans aren’t interested in providing military protection to countries that don’t want it. I’d suspect whatever country you’re in realizes that, and is willing to accept whatever pressure from the Americans in exchange for the support of the world’s largest military.
You should really give a mild caveat that you're a contributor to this project.
That is a form of violence. Think about how many people commit suicide when they lose money for one reason or another.

Just one minor quibble: I'd say it's C++'s classes (not move semantics) that made doing things like this much cleaner - mostly by having a destructor that let's data structures automatically clean up after themselves (release memory) when they go out of scope. Now the developer doesn't need to know or care about whether the structure they were given has internal dynamically allocated components or not.

Move semantics is "just" an optimization that makes passing data-owning classes around more efficient. Pre C++11 you'd just return the class by reference to avoid the inefficiency of return by value, but with move semantics you can treat complex types the same as simple ones, and not worry about the efficiency of how you pass them around.

On the career / publishing perspective: I think you're overlooking the fact that an upload to such a peer-review platform would usually be considered non-archival, so the paper could still be published in a prestigious journal. It's basically a pre-print server with a comment function (which already exists in some sort, btw, researchgate.net), and most journals have accepted that they can't stop people from making their papers available through such channels.

The bigger threat to this model is probably places like arXiv/SSRN adding similar functionality, but since this seems to be a non-profit project, it would probably mean mission accomplished.

Indian fake ratings are a big thing, but from my own experience collecting good ratings, I can attest that keeping fakes out if the system is a big effort, and it cannot be done manually. I implemented a complicated but fair statistical system to keep fake ratings out from my site. But I'm only doing the top 3 film festivals, not all the crap. The manual blacklist is still huge.

In the west the biggest offender is A24 btw.

And to be fair to the Indian movies: The top Indian movies are usually better than the best western movies. But we didn't have top Indian movies for almost over a decade now.

This is always going to reflect, in large part, who is in power in a society, since the mainstream consensus is so heavily influenced by the top. And in societies where people, by inches or by miles, become unable to speak freely - the top can effectively dictate consensus.

In a society where those in power are are not only primarily motivated to achieve a healthier society and nation, but also have the intelligence and wisdom to achieve it - then following the mainstream consensus could achieve something quite remarkable.

In a society where those in power are primarily motivated by their own interests, or lack the wisdom or intelligence to positively lead society forward, then of course everybody following the mainstream consensus means you're, vice versa, headed towards something quite awful.
>So attributing it to Rob Pike's personality traits is just off the mark

That's fine, since I didn't speak about Pike's "personality traits", but to his architecure/design tendencies.

And I didn't attribute this design to him. I know of APL, and even if I didn't the influence is right there in the TFA title. I compared it to his designs ("sounds like a typical Rob Pike design"), i.e. he adopted it because he does have these design tendencies, and so this was to his taste.
