Yes, it’s fairly obvious that one would have to oversize capacity, etc. to get to renewable purity.

But note this is all hand-wavy future talk, whereas in the here and now, the over reliance has led to higher fossil fuel use.

It’s like language design, where language features could be thought of free with a ‘sufficiently smart compiler’.

In theory, yes 100% renewable is possible. In theory, theory and practice are the same. In practice… not so much.

abandoning (or at least ignoring) an energy dense and emission free energy source as nuclear is a setup for failure, as has already been seen twice in the past couple years.

Here is a very relevant podcast episode on what you are talking about. I enjoyed listening to this one a lot and am a fan of the podcast in general.

> I spent my entire childhood wasting my time on Social media, World Of Warcraft, and other pointless stuff. Literally 10-14 hours a day. I don't regret my gaming interests, but i do regret the fact that i wasted so much of my life on games like World of Warcraft (I started playing when i was 10 years old) instead of finding and developing my future interests

Man, you are describing exactly the younger life of about the vast majority of technical workers nowadays. You are describing a cliché of barely anyone in this industry. Frankly I’m even surprised that WoW is still going strong.

You wasted nothing. I know a lot of successful programmers with great careers and most of them "wasted" years on WoW (some of them are still playing sometime) and they now enjoy a fulfilling life. The teenage-myself would probably not imagine any of those nerds working and having a family but hey, there we are.

Pinochet's economic policies were regarded as extremely successful, basically his turn around of the economy is what allowed him to be so brutal to his political enemies. Unfortunate, but it's hard for me to say the chicago boys actions in Chile can be regarded as failure.
Apple MacBook hands down.

I've had various Dell laptops personally, and of course used HP laptops on the job until 4 years ago, at which point I lucked into jobs where MacBooks were used. The hardware is just that much better.

It sounds like you are referring to a website called "The Hammer Principle" formerly hosted at hammerprinciple.com. The website went down shortly after the owner had collected all the data they wanted.

I collected a bunch of the data in a spreadsheet in March 2014 before the website went down. It covered 51 programming languages and 15 statements about them such as:

* Easy to tell what code does

* Language is expressive

* Code is very readable

* Code written is elegant

* I enjoy using this language

* I choose to use this language

* I would like to write more

* I can be sure code is correct

* This is a high level language

* Code is easy to maintain

* Encourages reusable code

* It is easy to write efficient code

* Code tends to be efficient

* Code tends to be reliable

* This language is good for teaching children

Well, one advantage is that it can be a cost/efficiency savings on a few levels.

For example, in the case of Zen2/3, the main CPU chiplet is at 7nm, but the I/O die is at 12nm. If I had to guess, generally speaking it is useful in cases where parts of the final module would benefit from higher transistor density versus others; Memory controller tech generally gets fewer updates than the CPU/APU itself, so it allows faster design cycles; you already know the existing I/O controller works, one less portion to re-qualify.

For an app the quality/maintainable/upgradeability would certainly come into play. As well as things such as growth trends, competition, etc.

But if you can show a market dominant app with a happy user base and steady income that is relatively easy to maintain you can generally expect 3 to 7 times your annualized seller discretionary earnings (A.k.a., your profits minus the cost of replacing your time with a paid programmer and putting back any write-offs that you put on the business).

I don't understand how that link shows student loans are a driver of inequality. Black people on average have a higher student loan debt because on average black people are poorer than white people in America. If black families are poorer than white families, it generally means they will need to take out a bigger loan to afford college.

Unlike glucose, fructose (sugar from fruit) is metabolized by the liver, and then converted to fat. Maybe fruit eaters were simply able to store more energy as fat which supplied the nutrition and/or extended survival required to evolve larger brains.

Very few things about the origins of the universe can be stated as fact at this point so “we will never know” isn't a "fact" either. Implied certainty on either side seems pre-emptive.
First, don't work on 3 or 2 projects, work only on one, when you finish it you can start another.
Try sharing your progress on social media or where ever you want, make a post where you say something like that "I'm going to make an app called X that will do Y and Z, I will start tomorrow, I'm aiming to finish it in 02 months and I will regularly share progress".
By just knowing that you have to share progress and that there are real humans waiting to know what you have done, will push you to work hard and don't stop.

Doctors all too often think that if you are experiencing something that their measurements don't validate ... that you are not sick.

In my experience [6 weeks hospitalization; now chronic rare disease] it's that the doctors simply lack the knowledge, techniques, and instruments to identify the problem.

Rare diseases are an interesting thing. Individually, each rare disease is challenging to study, and hence poorly understood, hard to diagnose, etc. However, with thousands to choose from, getting a rare disease isn't all that rare. However, getting good care while having one might very well be.

That's not really fair. For example, Galileo is often given as an example of someone who was persecuted by the Church for his ideas - without often mentioning that his ideas were championed by the Pope and the Jesuit order before some misunderstandings.

Also, a lot of the basis of science comes from members of the Church, occultists, or others living in deeply fundamentalist environments (Newton being a famous father of science who was deeply occult in his thinking; or Muhammad ibn Musa al-Khwarizmi, the father of algebra and whose name is the basis of the word algorithm, being a court astronomer and the head of an Abbasid Caliph's library).

It feels like you're just searching for things to dislike.

I'm not sure what your point about the narratives is or how that makes the analysis "limited". The charge is clear enough. Funny enough, the reason that CPD failed to accurately count the number of looters is because they basically did a grep of "protester" in their narrative logs, rather than looking at the charge itself. And again -- CPD agreed with us that their numbers were wrong and ours were correct.

I’m struggling with this thread.

I’m not sure what’s superior in the old approach.

You’re able to perform much more robust and detailed calculations using computers compared to hand. You’re able to iterate more rapidly. The only thing I can think of is that the designer or engineer has more time to ruminate on their design. Or there is no artistry in a computer generated print.

It’s probably the bias in my training (mechanical engineering tech and not architecture or industrial design) and what I’m trying to accomplish through drafting, but I don’t get this romanticism for hand drafting.

My program, in the mid-2010s, had 13 weeks of hand drafting. The program still does that in the 2020s. My program emphasized sketching and drafting as a core component of the engineering design process. So hand drafting is still taught, and there may be sampling bias at play in the other comments. Or my hand drafting isn’t “real hand drafting.”

Sketching allows you to iterate through different designs early on. You then move into the detailed design which results in the manufacturing specs. For example, hole sizing and location, material thickness. We absolutely did all of these calculations by hand in our courses, so you need to be able to draw something out. You’d simplify and not worry about completely accurate proportions, though.

I guess before the rise of CAD systems, you’d hand over a bunch of rough design papers with the final dimensions for a drafter to prepare the final print.

However, with computers we now do the detailed design through computer aided engineering (CAE) software. This requires a 3D model of what you’re building. You run the simulation and find out that the thickness of the material isn’t suitable, so you change the thickness in the model and re-run the simulation.

This CAE process gives the engineer the 2D print for “free.” All the information needed to create the 2D print are embedded in the 3D model. You just pick which projections you want in 2D and you specify the dimensions and tolerance. Now that’s done and there is no need to draft it by hand.
Absolute waste of 5 minutes watching this.
You're just now learning about Twitter?
I don’t think Sidekiq/Resque are trying to get concurrency right. I’ve run a number of async processing workloads using a variety of Ruby out of the box and framework features - as well as Java, Scala concurrency features/frameworks. Any of the low level stuff really isn’t designed for the kind of higher functionality you get from something like a Sidekiq or Resque. Honestly for implementing any workload that needs consistency, durability or execution guarantees you need something more complicated than what any language’s out of the box concurrency model gives you. Even the frameworks like EventMachine or Akka help with programming abstraction and the concurrent execution but they don’t really solve high level job/queue features. They are just different tools that solve different problems.

Knowing nothing about either language as such, the name seems utterly weird: According to Wikipedia, it was created (as "Occidental") in 1922 and renamed to "Interlingue" in 1949. WP also notes: "Not to be confused with Interlingua..." But the linked page for Interlingua says: "Interlingua [...] is an international auxiliary language (IAL) developed between 1937 and 1951..."

So why the heck did they rename Occidental to something that differs by one letter from another language that they must have known about?!? Just totally baffling.
