That's a good point, I'll take that in mind.

Maybe I'll add another layer of protection with a second controller and relay that would only work as a timeout or heating overrun protection.

It's still better than the previous situation when I would just forget the crockpot running.
That would be an interesting restriction/value-add. So many things block cloud IPs due to the heavy abuse they get from them. Apple could offer high deliverability IPs and block clearing as services.
How many data centers already use waste heat for district heating?
It's probably because of the massive amount of fraud going on , with people pretending to be someone else to get the job. Reddit seems particularly bad about seeing things from anyone else's perspective.
Yeah, that kind of pause + coming in with the answer, is also nice because it can serve a dual purpose. It allows you to be both bad cop and good cop, all in one: you created some leverage over your boss by publicly showing the execs that boss doesn't know what they're talking about but you do, and you also helped save them from further embarrassment.

Depending on future scenarios, you can play up either side of the interpretation. It's a nice quality of really useful political moves that they can flex and can be reused for multiple purposes (kind of like... good extensible/reusable software design).
Bret Weinstein voluntarily resigned his position at Evergreen; Thomas Sowell is still a member of Stanford's Hoover Institution.

If you want a case of an academic being drummed out of academia for their beliefs, the best example is that of Nikole Hanna Jones, the woman behind the 1619 Project, a MacArthur Fellow, and Pulitzer Prize winner who was denied tenure primarily at the request of a wealthy conservative donor.

As for a monoculture, I don't agree, but I concede, American universities have, in modern times, leaned liberal. American universities are also the envy of the world, and objectively are the best on the planet. If it isn't broke, why fix it?

And why trust the same people who gave us Donald Trump to fix anything?
The employees also get wages if the game craters completely and company looses millions on it. Unless the employees are willing to eat up the losses as well (i.e. pay back some portion of the wages they got earlier), they should not enjoy 100% of the profits.
It’s interesting to observe how at first the propagandists didn’t have guidance so they launched into “oh this means real war!” even calls for tactical nukes and such.

But the government indicated this was an “accident”. Just looking at the video with two simultaneous explosions hundreds of feet apart it seems that was some amazing feat of synchronized negligence. But the propagandists immediately stopped calling for investigations or revenge and switched topics.
> Is that your point? — that because we had slavery, slavery is “entirely up for discussion”?

That discussion has been settled in the West, at least for now. In many places, the discussion is still ongoing, and in fact, they are an estimated 40 million slaves (or similarly bonded people) on Earth today, or about 10x as many as in the US South in 1860.

I find it a bit funny that in an increasingly atheistic society, some Christian values are held even more axiomatically than ever before, and racism is particular

Statues of American founders get torn down due to some link to it. Imagine if everything around the world with some link to forced labor would be given the same treatment. We would have to remove almost every ancient monument or statue from Italy, Greece, Egypt, the Middle East, India, China, former Aztec and Inka peoples, just to mention a few.

Also most ancient works of writing, from all over the globe would have to be given introduction with warning that the author may have owned slaves or benefitted from slave labor.

I'm not American. I did not grow up with the legacy of American slavery. By no means do I endorse slavery, but when reading about Aristotle's ideas about slavery, I'm able to imagine a world where slavery is seen as normal. In many cases, those who lost some war would end up as slaves. But typically, that would go both ways. Whichever side won would enslave the other.

I have trouble seeing almost every inhabitant of classical Europe, the Middle East or North Africa as evil just because they either did own slaves, or would have owned slaves had they been able to.

Just like I have trouble seeing a Lion or Hyena as evil for eating a Zebra. (Ok, maybe I can see the Hyena as evil, mainly because they're ugly ;)
Blockchains can encapsulate identity and payment in a single transaction. If someone were to tie these to HTTP requests (the 402 response, for example) then they would have micropayments for Web requests (API requests).

People always focus on the speculative trading of the assets, but the real killer use case is stuff making calls to other stuff to do more stuff. AI models paid for with micro transactions is going to be a thing. It's just going to take time to get there.

Karma isn't as simple as the common beliefs about it.

"Karma" just means action; supposedly, actions sow seeds that have consequences. Those consequences may materialise in this life, or not. Only the most consequential actions plant seeds that endure into the next life.

Karma teachings aren't really Buddhist; the Buddha just taught what was the common belief system in his time. Karma comes from the Vedas.

> How will that make you more dishonest?

I don't think belief in karma makes you less harsh to others. I think it leads to a sort of tokenism: "I've done my kind act for today". And I think it leads to a sort of devil-take-the-hindmost attitude to people who are suffering: they are "working out their karma", i.e. their suffering is actually good for them.
I worked at Tangent Animation, now defunct - we used Blender as our primary render software, and produced several feature projects, two of them still running on Netflix last I checked. We were not major, but it has been done.

The reasoning was that we had paid a very large sum to use Maya on our first project, and had received basically no support whatsoever for that money, aside from the software itself. So we worked with the Blender Foundation instead, and got much better support, collaboration on new features, etc.

I don't have any personal exposure to any of Blender's commercial competitors, but I learned to make cartoons as a side effect of working there, and Blender basically fills me with awe at what they have accomplished. Perhaps Maya is even better than that, but that's for people with the money to pay for it to decide, I suppose. From what I heard while working in the industry, Autodesk is a husk of a company with no interest in anything but swallowing smaller companies and increasing profits with as minimal investment as possible in new features.

Meanwhile, the whole world has access to Blender, and it works just fine, if you want to make cartoons and have ideas and ability but no money. "Better" is extremely subjective here.

I actually really enjoy the "politics" part of it. I think it's just a loaded word for "get many people to align and work together productively," and it's absolutely fascinating from a technical point of view. So many "technical" problems can be solved by just communicating, the best feature is the one that doesn't need to be written.

What I don't enjoy is when politics turns into bullying, where one has to give in to someone without proper reasons. This is for example a manager pushing through a technical decision the team doesn't agree with "because they're the manager", or a senior engineer dismissing a junior engineer "because you're just a kid". Expecting people to go along with that is what I would just walk away from.
> Apps could simply embed their own browser engine that lets them use webviews in whatever unfettered way they want.

The biggest pro for consumers in having an app store is that the store can set regulations on apps. If Google says apps can't do this, then it's effectively dead. Of course, that would rely on Google effectively policing it.
Similarly, on the SAT I took a prep course where I enjoyed and did all the math work, kind of slacked off on the reading, and on the official test got a 800 math, 680 reading score. I finished the math before the allotted time, by a few minutes.

I don't think this has anything about being smarter - it's all about knowing the kinds of questions and their format, which is the key benefit of the prep work - you'd get to skip the time-consuming step of trying to understand the question format (analogies, really?) and just get down to solving it, giving you more time.
This is a much better link.
I think you're being unfair. Brooks did mention those kinds of advances, he just didn't consider them magical. For example, from Wikipedia's summary (which aligns with what I remember from my own reading):

> "While Brooks insists that there is no one silver bullet, he believes that a series of innovations attacking essential complexity could lead to significant improvements. One technology that had made significant improvement in the area of accidental complexity was the invention of high-level programming languages, such as Ada."

The core of "essential" vs "accidental" complexity remains very insightful. If, like Brooks argues, we are mostly hitting essential complexity now, no single programming language or IDE is going to provide a radically large improvement anymore.

"Productivity" is a tricky beast. What does it even mean? Programmers typing fast and getting code into production quickly? But what about the success and correctness of the systems they write? What about bugs and performance problems? What about incorrect or misunderstood requirements? Have we solved those?
The coyness is smarter beyond a simple troll. It's not clear right now how Ukraine managed to do this. Neptunes? ATACMS? Some homebrew shit? Special forces on site (incredibly unlikely)?

The camera issue is real. Phone cameras are kinda bad, because they are very limited, and so, a lot of the beautiful magic comes from software. Samsung, quite horrible, put some magic into their kernel, as well as into their camera software. Therefore, one can't just use their proprietary camera app, on a different base system. You can't even shoot slo-mo videos either; I tried the S7 and now the S9 and neither can do it with LineageOS. The still images are not bad with OpenCamera though, although I can't say I'm a connoisseur either.

So full experience? No. But you can slap it on an older phone and enjoy a system that's never even supported officially, and now it's being updated every month. Some rough edges here and there. I'm personally a happy user.
This is comical. "I get back at capitalism by doing exactly what I'm told, when I'm told, for the amount I've agreed to!!!!".

I remember in 2005 or so, there were people that got letters from their ISP to stop hosting things, and blocking port 25 was common until about 5-10 years after that but then net neutrality became more of a topic. Haven't heard of any such trouble since then.

There are also ISPs that expressly encourage it. Formerly I was with XS4ALL who encouraged it when I asked them on the phone (long time ago), nowadays their spiritual successor is Freedom Internet. I think the name says enough :)
yeah, my understanding is that a significant portion of the urban lead contamination is from automobile exhaust. This is a much better explanation than some paint chips.

Assuming that the 10% price raise is equal to the increase of the electricity cost, that implies that after the increase the cost of the electricity represents slightly more than 25% of the price (which must also include the profit, besides the other costs).

So the electricity is not really dominating the costs, but it might still be the largest component of the cost.

There is an estimate that Amazon has a 61% profit margin for cloud services. Hetzner must have a lower profit margin, but nonetheless the electricity could be as much as half of the costs.

Exactly. The vast majority of mom and pop investors don't hold voting shares. They're not connected to the board members. They don't control the corporations their investments are allocated to, other than very tangentially through their ability to exert downward pressure on the stocks.

Billionaires are different.

They own the controlling shares of a corporation, even to the point where their votes count for more in the case of Facebook. They can take on corporate debt then use that to buy another controlling stake into another corporation. Use that corporations assets for more leverage to take out mortgages, etc. Their ability to then borrow against their own stocks gives them even more working capital without paying any amount of tax while they continue to differ capital gains. I'm not even going into the lobbyists or international tax schemes here. Just the power of layered leverage.

I'm not a communist or socialist. I'm usually somewhere near the centre and tilt a bit to the left on most economic issues. I'm not against capital formation. But the economic and social damage that most billionaires exert on people in wealthy societies is a very real thing and it's going to keep getting more severe as computers allow for increasingly more centralization of information and control. "Data is the new oil." And all that.

We don't need billionaires (or, soon, trillionaires) to have a well functioning capitalist economy. We could have a ceiling and we could refuse entry families that exceed these limits to our countries. Same thing with open source, etc.
If you're operating at a small scale of a few servers (like most people using Hetzner), re-engineering the code that you already have to be more efficient will cost considerably more than paying your server bills for a year.

This is just Goodhart's Law in action.

> activity => work and no activity => no work

Measuring activity, where by "activity" we mean "commits", means that a person who mentors other people, reviews thousands of lines of other people's code, and discusses that code in depth during long hours of meetings, does completely no work. I think you can see where such a measure can lead to.
In just 10 years we went from Wall Street being the real problem with America, to rednecks in Ohio being the real problem. It looks deliberate—if you were trying to disempower the working class, what better way to do so than to recenter the conversation around “isms” that are inherently more prevalent among less educated and less cosmopolitan people?

But I don’t think it’s deliberate. Wokeness has become pervasive among highly compensated young professionals who otherwise spend their days turning the gears of capitalism: exporting American jobs to China, automating away people’s livelihoods, or figuring out how to monetize internet addiction.

I think it’s a defense mechanism. These kids go to school and are socialized to demonize the white capitalist system, then go get jobs in that system and need to reconcile those ideas with their personal self interest.
I daresay those features remain "active" even if you don't have an OnStar subscription active.

We got burned hard last year around GPUs (ai) and compose being not ready for enterprise settings for technical and redhat politics reasons, which are top use cases in the wild. Networking also looked problematic. We hadn't tried k8s for podman, which likely has its own issues.

So defaulting to docker would be the less risky bet and relegate podman to opt-in by trailblazers.

Podman core development is impressive, so frustrating to see the broader ecosystem issues.

I didn’t disagree with your last sentence, but nor is the benchmark evidence against “Java memory allocation having the performance of arena allocators”. The benchmark hardcodes additional information about the problem not available/encodeable in Java according to the rules, so Java has to decide at runtime the lifecycle of each object. That of course have an overhead, but it is not allocation rate, or deallocation rate, as both of those are just pointer bump and reuse region, with the surviving objects copied to another region.
