Because the longtermists are betting on 10^58 humans being alive one day. If you don't have children and population growth isn't exponential anymore their whole ideology comes crashing down.

If people voluntarily self limit the size of the population that is a good thing because it means we won't need to shoot each other if it turns out we are straining the earth too much.
In reality there is a lot of research pointing to nuclear power certainly not being anywhere near as cheap as "too cheap to meter". Claiming this is all "fossil fuel propaganda" is stupid and lazy. So far, there has rarely ever been a nuclear power plant built on budget and on time. Most run way over. And often the costs for cleanup and decommissioning are not priced in properly or even at all. Most industries have to pay insurance for their risks, the - actually uncomputable - risk of nuclear power rests on the whole society, while the profits accumulate with the shareholders of the power company. Ask Japan how that is working out for them currently...

"Drawing board" is the operational term. Nuclear power is always late and it's always more expensive than promised. Why is the nuclear power industry subsidized so much everywhere when it's actually a good investment? Have government agencies suddenly become good at investing or are they just charities for corporate interests?

I'm not even saying it's "too expensive", by the way. I'm not totally against nuclear power, I do see the benefits. It has its place, probably. But I know about fat tail distributions and the unpredictability of the future. You really don't want anybody shooting rockets and artillery shells around a nuclear facility a few hundred miles near you. Today that's Ukraine and much of eastern Europe, who says that in the next fourty or fifty years, the lifespan of a typical plant, that's not you either? In Mossul ISIS hunted around for nuclear material to build a dirty bomb, luckily they didn't find the stuff that actually was there. Who says your country will not have a rogue militia like that in the next fifty years?

And then the nuclear industry is unwieldy. It requires a large and expensive specialized infrastructure. Which can be amortized eventually, yes. But much of that investment is upfront and the recuperation is dependent on a lot of things going exactly right for a very long time. Also it requires a huge labor force that has to be trained for this specific task and then can hardly do anything else. France has the problem of a shortage. In short: It's hard and expensive to get into nuclear technology and it's even harder to get out of it.

And in order to solve the climate crisis using nuclear power there are two major problems: First, it's already too late, because nuclear power is so slow. Secondly, you'd need to nuclearize much of the world, including countries with questionable regulatory regimes to say the least. This makes all the problems we see now a lot worse...
"Lines" is short for "lines of code" I would say so comments and whitespace would not count. But holistically speaking you are right of course.
You’re gonna have to give up a lot, like the girl you love, when she takes too much of your time or doesn’t understand what you’re trying to do. You’ll get over it. But sometimes sacrificing everything will actually break you so learn how to recognize that. If you make a mistake there then recover and move on, like always.

The companies you’re working at are shit and web dev is easy, try to get through that phase in the next year. There are unlimited loopholes for making money, pick one and extract from the world what you need to live, then get back to doing deep and difficult programming. Learn a lot of pure mathematics, because easy programming like web dev will become commoditized or automated and you need the mental flexibility given by pure math in order to come out on top in the future. You have to think longer term than you are now.

And living is an art, refine and trust your intuition constantly. Every ideology and group is wrong in some way. You have to be outside all of them and also take what they know.

Recognize when you’re fighting yourself and realize that you’re distracted. Probably by status or money or ego things. Accept the lost time and move on.

Regularly put everything on the line. You have no time to waste being risk-averse. Make really big bets and make sure they succeed. If they don’t then hopefully you’re fine physically and worst case you have nothing and go live in the woods and eat rice and beans and plot the next move. This is fine, you’ll learn to deal with catastrophic failure. That means you’re pushing the limits. Push harder.
This is simply false, even if you mean using AVIF.

Here's a test case, using a moderate sized (3000x2000) image. Nothing ridiculously huge or anything, and it's not an especially complex image. I'm linking the best I can do for both JPEG (at 200 KB) and AVIF (at 100 KB). If you can create a passable versions of these images at 100 KB with either codec (or WEBP for that matter), please do show us how.

Original image: https://0x0.st/o9x5.png

JPEG (200 KB): https://0x0.st/o93i.jpg

AVIF (100 KB): https://0x0.st/o9xC.avif

Maybe JPEG XL will get us closer, but not all the way there, that's for sure: https://0x0.st/o9xd.jxl - JPEG XL is intended for high quality images, so it is not optimized for this kind of extremely low bitrate (~0.1 bpp) usage.

A single person can patch an issue or two, but security can be cultural and unless you're in leadership you probably can't change that. And depending on how the business operates, spending too much time on bugs you weren't assigned can be considered by a PM as a performance issue.
GitHub “allows” unauthorized users “merging” PRs, bypass write permission check?
We recently noticed some strange email notifications from Github with content "Merged #948 into main.", which told that pull requests on our repo has been merged by stranger who actually doesn't have the write permission to our repo!

After further inspection, we found that the merge event is triggered by the creator of the pull request pushing current main commits to the PR's "from" branch.

Moreover, when pushing current main to a pull request,

- The pull request is displayed as "Merged"

- A "PR merged into main" email is sent to all subscribers (mainly the repo owners)

- A "PR merged" contribution is displayed on the creator's Github profile

Closing dangling pull requests is a quite resonable design, but mark it as "Merged" rather than "Closed" would confuse people to let them think they are hacked at the first glance (note that there even an email notification "Merged #xxxx into main" to repo's owners).

If such a feature is misused, it may lead to chaos to more open source repos in the futuer, especially those famous ones.

A question tho. A manual transmission makes engine braking possible. But I never quite understood whether engine braking actually does suck a lot more gas thru the carb. In other words, when your foot is off the gas but there is high airflow thru the carb, does it draw gas ?
Not sure it's a good analogy. Poster found the vulnerability in 1. 2 is plaintext passwords. 3 it's unclear exactly what is going on. This person seems to find security issues, and cares about them. It appears to be in his/her domain.
Automatics traditionally had a single clutch and a viscous coupling to convert smooth the torque between gear shifts. Switching gears was slow and the transmission as a whole was less fuel efficient.

Modern automatic gearboxes have dual clutches and two separate sets of gears for even and odd numbers. You alternate between them as you shift up and down. Shifting is faster and smoother.

(The system isn’t perfect. If you switch to manual selection of gears the transmission computer sometimes guessing wrong — while you’re in 3rd and accelerating it’ll get 4th ready for on the even-numbers clutch, so if you suddenly brake and shift down there is a longer delay while the transmission shifts to 2nd instead.)

There's truth to this I found aswell. When I was a teenager I could play video games endlessly, but recently I found video games to be mostly a chore (a few here and there make an exception). I think there's an aspect of limit artifically making a thing more desirable -- but I don't find it reliable, sometimes even indulging in this aspect for activities is the actual time waste I want to avoid.
Yes I think matrix will get there. The issue is complicated because most people just want to use their phone number, while I (and other tech people) want an account we can use without my phone. There is also contact import/sync, data backup, not having to deal with encryption "at all"...

These tools are amazing for prototyping. I had an idea for a promotional poster, and seeing my idea just by writing it felt like magic. The generated image had too many artifacts to use, but gave me a guideline to follow when creating the real thing in Pixlr.

AI content generation (text, image, source code, video, music) will be a huge boon for prototyping where applied judiciously.
Nice one. How do you decide the difficulty of each problem? One hard problem seemed easy using analytic functions while a medium problem felt hard as it required a self-join the realization of which is the harder part.
Actually, "rés-do-chão" would be the more common term. Still... in Portugal, the "first floor" is implicitly never the ground floor (but the floor above it), so 0-based indexing is respected (as you suggest).

There is always a clearing price. The question is simply "how low"?
It's a startup. Why can't this person be the one who creates a stronger security culture? Great way to start - fix the plaintext passwords, write a quick memo on why you don't want to do that and what you do to change it.
If you can't do a proper controlled trial, then you can't ever prove it's not a placebo effect.

That's basic science.
I agree with the author's sentiment tremendously. When all this community and creator stuff kicked off, the youtube community was self-aware that the quality of their product was much lower than a professional product and would look for other ways to provide value. The author misses a few marks though.

-"There is nothing so depraved as labeling someone a creative when the reality is every human being is creative or has the innate capacity to be creative."

JP kicked this one in the d*ck, when he pointed out that published creatives are very rare. Also as a separate, supporting point, the ratio of uploaded videos on youtube that get above 1k views, is tiny. Something like 98% of videos uploaded to youtube die in obscurity or were never meant to be mass appeal "creative products".

Innatism is a good idea, yet it is not without flaw. Leaning the whole definition of creativity on what people can innately do, is quite narrow.

The huge benefit of community and "content" is that even though you lose the quality production that I truly love, you get a fantastic ability to convey knowledge across the largest chasms. I can flick open youtube and get a near-expert introduction on a whole bunch of stuff (or at least the gist). This effect was most emphasized from roughly 2016 to 2020.

Youtube has been leaning into questionably farming out recommendation channels as the primary source of useful content, which has it's downsides. But the author undervalues what community and content meant, which was access like we've never seen before to people all over the world and in their highly specialized niches.

To me, 'consumer' was always the worst offender of the 'c' words. Who wants to be a consumer? A Customer gets a modicum of respect and a somewhat two way street with the company. A consumer is just an open mouth on the end of a factory production line, unpleasant.

It'll be a very sad day when youtube or content 'creators' start hiding or deleting their old videos in an attempt to push revenue up for new stuff.
Airbags and seatbelt pre-tensioners have "explosives" in them (they convert very rapidly into gas, but I'm not sure all of them always meet the usual standards of explosives).

The defective Tanaka airbags used ammonium nitrate, of Oklahoma City Bombing and Beirut port fame.

I have to riff on this:

> All the money earned by both of you goes into a large pot.

Divide that pot into an equal number of bills for each denomination (1, 5, 10, 20, 50, 100). Mix thoroughly.

Every day you each get to randomly draw two bills. That’s how much money you get to spend that day.

Enjoy.
Wasn't <f3> the conventional shortcut for app search back in the DOS days? So it makes sense in a backwards compatible way, while still being an annoying anachronism.
not really? It just changes how the compiler emits the x := *(addr + idx) operation where instead of doing something like

ldr x, [addr, idx]

it just does

sub t1, idx, #1
ldr x, [addr, t1]

If we're talking about C, accessing invalid/OOB indices is undefined and so if idx happens to be zero and unsigned, we'll overflow and hit something unexpected, which is fine.
> But through the years I've experienced relationships that transform from pure love and admiration to pure confusion and being on completely different pages. This may be because I'm young, and maybe relationships become more straightforward later in life. But something tells me people never become less complicated, maybe they just become more complacent.

I know everybody is different but the key for my relationship with my wife has been open communication. There's a clear pattern for us: when we don't talk about a problem, we end up getting upset with each other, but when we do talk about the problem, we come to an understanding and everything is fine.

Another key is that we love each other and if we disagree on something, we're both willing to find compromise.

There are a few big issues where a compromise might not be viable, like having kids or where to live (we're from two very distant countries), but we made sure we agreed on those pretty early on.

My point here is that I don't think age is the solution. Relationships are work. It can't all just be fun and games, you need to talk each other about stuff, build up trust that doing so is safe and be willing to compromise for each other. This is work and without it, the relationship might very well fall apart.
I'm on my way to pick up a manual car today (BMW M2) I've just had about a year with a similar automatic car, but I miss the feel of the car when I'm shifting through gears.

The next car for me is probably going to something similar - or an EV.
Unfortunately yes. Even the pie fallacy argument is subject to certain conditions which are often false. For economy to work beyond pie fallacy you need situations where most of the economy is driven by people who make wealth by creating things out of nothing. That is purely knowledge work jobs. Almost any where, where you need a raw material as an input to make a thing, the supply of that is limited, and therefore subject to these demand-supply issues(predatory behaviour/rent seeking). This extends to things like buying a plumber's service. If the number of plumbers are limited, and their time is limited(which it is), and there more people who need their services than plumbers going around. Plumbers are going to charge a premium for putting you up their priority queue. That is what you are ready to pay to buy their services before others could get a chance. This doesn't mean its predatory. Its what you are willing to pay to buy their time. Any other way of settling this is bonkers, If the price is fixed and the queue if FIFO, why should you be given a special exception and moved up the queue. And more importantly why should the plumber settle for lower pay when clearly there is a demand for his services.

But on the short run, everything even in knowledge economy work, money is made literally by moving it from person A to person B. Hence A wins at the expense of B.

Even on the longer run most people lack the resources, patience and overall life situations to make decision over such long periods of time.

There’s nothing misleading about it. Shift paddles are pretty standard on cars with automatic gearboxes. The only difference is that outside of sports cars “consumer” gearboxes will usually restrict the range they’ll let you use with semi-automatic shifting and will override that if you redline or bottom out.
There are many techniques to start uphill.

In Italy the driving test is on manual transmission and many people use manual.

I trained in Rome, parking on the left side downhill (so backward is uphill), it was tough, but learned a lot of tricks in the process to prevent stalling. You also become very attuned to the clutch

I do love manual transmission, but the purpose is to have fun, not for daily usage.
I generally don't comment on things if I haven't informed myself about it. I'm here for takes by experts, not people who are making guesses based on ignorance disguised as informed opinion.
How about an automatic that only shifts when you want it to, with control via a headband ?
Everything I can find says that it (industrial revolution) spread from the UK to continental Europe, which a massively oversized chunk of industrial tech coming from the UK. I'm happy to have my mind changed but the general consensus is that it did start in the UK. The book you cite is in French and appears to have very little in the way of reviews or anything? One book against the consensus of the field is certainly not without precedent but it's kind of difficult to evaluate.

A typical HTTPS RSA certificate is about 3.9kb. ECDSA certificates with ECDSA cross-signed with an RSA root will be around 2.9kb. So this 14kb of HTML response should leave some room for the certificates too.
Even for text-centric sites fitting everything in 14kB is not always feasible if you use custom fonts. My site is text- and math-centric, but it uses some fonts (Crimson + bold and italic variants, plus the KaTeX fonts used for math). Each font is about 30kB big for a total of 180kB.

I would like to improve, but I feel like the fonts are essential for the look and feel, so I'm not willing to give up the fonts, so I guess the ~200kB is the lower limit for me.

(Of course, the fonts are cached on the next page load, so my site does load very fast after opening the first article. Only thing that bothers me is the layout jump-around due to font

>If you didn't benefit from the donation, you wouldn't have made it.

If I understand you correctly, you are claiming that the vast majority of charitable donations a) do not materially or socially benefit the donater, b) are still selfish (in that donating the money offers greater personal advantage than using the money in other ways), and c) would not be given if those benefits were not received in return. Could you give some examples of what kind of donations you're talking about, because I'm not sure we're communicating from the same basic understanding of what a charitable donation is.

I mean sure, there are many environments you can use for any particular platform - but that's not how I develop software these days - I need my code to run on my Mac, my coworkers Windows machine and our deployment servers on Linux - with the least ammount of fuss possible.

I wince when I think about how much time I spent dealing with that crap back when I was doing C++.
I've given up with manual, as a technology, since I've used an EV that didn't have any switching transmission. Just fixed gear ratio. The feeling is better than manual. You always have full power available. There is no RPM regime where an EV won't be able to apply maximum torque. Manual can't beat that feeling.

Though I will also say that a modern automatic doesn't need 500 meters. It works almost as well as manual. If you floor the pedal if shifts to apply more torque.
