> using C, Python, Rust in each interop had some cost but I did it and got a lot of benefits of using existing good software

I don't dispute this, but that is still a niche case. The general case is that library software gets rewritten in each language (and if it's not worth the trouble to rewrite it, it's usually not worth the trouble to use and maintain bindings). So yes, there is a tradeoff, I'm just expressing my opinion that Go made the better tradeoff, at least for a garbage collected language (since you mentioned it, Python trades off a boatload of performance and package management simplicity in its pursuit of easy C interop).

> Yes C lacks dev ergonomics, but meson + ninja gave a very neat experience..

My point about abysmal C build/package tooling wasn't about the experience of a C developer, but the experience of someone who is downstream of C packages. As a Python developer, I don't get to choose how my C dependencies are packaged for Python (which build system and package manager they use)--I'm just at the mercy of whatever they offer, and if I'm targeting some non-mainstream Linux distro, then there's a good chance some build or runtime dependency of some upstream C project is going to fail, and now I need to grok that C project's build/linking system to sort it out. This just doesn't happen in (pure) Go because Go's build system and package manager are reproducible (no implicit dependencies).

No. I only use sudo in "sudo su" once in a while when I need a root shell (sometimes not even on the local machine), then does everything within that shell. I don't understand people bothering themselves with that command. I also find egregious tutorials in which each command is prefixed with sudo.
The biggest cut was overtime reduction. NYPD is notorious for going over its OT budget: https://cbcny.org/research/overboard-ot

Other biggest cuts were moving crossing guards and school safety agents from NYPD to DOE. How does that affect parking enforcement?

https://www1.nyc.gov/office-of-the-mayor/news/487-20/in-face...

Ironically, they added 165 Traffic Enforcement Agents, the closest line item related to parking. This resulted in a net gain of $42 million for the NYPD.

So, by your logic, now NYC CAN pursue MORE people now that they've INCREASED the size of the traffic enforcement police force?
There are three really great, logical and legible writing systems known to me.

The wendys by me is offering $23/hr for walk in hires. And given federal minimum wage is $7.25 even $14-16/hr is still pretty damn good. The median individual income in 2019 was $35,977 or $17.29/hr. Median individual income now is $44,225 or $21.26/hr an increase of 22.8%.

The fact is most of these jobs would normally be staffed by young and uneducated people who have few other prospects at that stage in life. However shifting demographic trends mean that there simply aren't as many such people to fill these positions as there were in the past. There are fewer people entering the workforce than exiting it due to retirement, and a greater percentage of young people pursue higher education. Before the pandemic even hit, the US achieved full employment and it was becoming difficult to hire unskilled labor. A lot of low wage positions were only filled by virtue of people not wanting to leave to look for other opportunities. With the pandemic, the decision to move was made for a lot of them. Further, a lot of people who were on the cusp of retirement did so slightly early, and many who would have gotten jobs just for the sake of having something to do did not. Combined with an unanticipated boom in various industries like online shopping, there was an has been a severe worker shortage for some time now. Low wage earners are seeing the largest improvement in the current job market.
Why those things are not built-in to macOS. I don't understand. It should not be hard to implement for Apple engineers and it could be a good example for corresponding API.

I don't use sudo often enough to warrant system changes, so I don't use those programs, but if they would be enabled by default, I would gladly use them.

It’s not the case actually.
We’re working on a dev tool called mirrord that lets you create local processes in context of a remote environment so the ergonomics would be of local setup with the benefits of leveraging real cloud environments.
The way we accomplish that is we hook sys calls and then choose what happens locally and what happens remotely.

Sure, I don't have an objection on that. In fact, anything up until college is actually distilled and idealised version of the ideas about how nature works. That's why people solve math, physics and other problems recreationally.

However I don't want to call it gamification because those are not designed in a game format in order to make you do something that you normally wouldn't want to do. Those are simplification or analogies to bring ideas within the grasp of the student so they can reach it with their current toolset but without mischaracterising it. So when a student calculates the trajectory of a ball in ideal condition, this is still a calculation of a balls trajectory and not something else.

The industrial revolution was more about motorized equipment than about materials.

Once you have a steam engine you can spin cotton, you can have trains, steamboats and later, turbines connected to generators in power plants.

It's a big upgrade from windmills, horses and mules.

And you cannot have a steam engine without knowing about the gas laws, laws of motion, etc. So advances in math, physics and chemistry to extends that were unknown to the romans were necessary to get to a steam engine.

You also cannot have an steam engine without having pistons, crankshafts, etc. Some of them were known to the Islamic civilization. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Book_of_Ingenious_Devices

So... no! Steampunk romans could not have been a thing.

I don't believe that BEV economics will improve. It could actually get worse as we are running out of material, especially copper

The quantity of metal required to make just one generation of renewable tech units to replace fossil fuels, is much larger than first thought. Current mining production of these metals is not even close to meeting demand. Current reported mineral reserves are also not enough in size. Most concerning is copper as one of the flagged shortfalls. Exploration for more at required volumes will be difficult, with this seminar addressing these issues.

I got a PinePhone, and I am a major advocate of FOSS. I purchased the phone primarily to monitor linux mobile development as it progresses.

As someone who needs to use maps a lot, this phone is not daily driver ready. It's also a terrible experience for web-browsing and taking photos.

That being said, I love the pinephone, not because of it's usability, but because of potential. SSHing into my phone and having my familiar linux filesystems and programs is a dream come true. It's truly incredible how far they've come with development on the hardware and driver side. The hardest problems are largely solved, and they are shipping devices to the community in hopes of fostering people to work on the remaining software problems and improving performance on the software side. I think Pine64 and the Pinephone's contributions to Linux on mobile are enormous, even if they aren't perfect, and we are better off for having them.

Or nationalize some of those state schools and make school free.

If we nationalized some good schools and made them free, it should drive down the prices of the others, right?
The other negative is that the Bolt's battery tech is now a generation (or at least a half-generation depending on how you figure dividing lines) behind compared to GM's massive investment into the multi-vehicle "Ultium" platform. That may matter for the expected service life of the Bolt (compare to GM's recent cut of service on the Spark EV, a half-generation of battery tech just prior to the Bolt; though to be fair there were a lot fewer Spark EVs on the road compared to Bolts).

I'm still confused why the recent model changes to the Bolt didn't include an "Ultium upgrade" other than to keep costs down and not associate the Bolt with the R&D depreciation of Ultium just yet. But given GM's larger commitment to the Ultium platform and number of vehicle models they are now building on it, that's one of my remaining pieces of hesitancy against current models of the Bolt and its already "legacy" platform. (Though the other big hesitancy was the "recent" recall and how that made Bolts impossible to find in dealerships for just long enough that it passed my "impulse buy" window the past couple of years.)

I hope GM realigns the Bolt to the present platform and/or starts adding smaller vehicles to the Ultium platform. (Smallest currently announced is the new Blazer which is still much larger than I want as a car.)

(I'm an "ancient" Volt owner and have been watching GM's EV projects with great interest as I'm at about the point where I'd like to replace the Volt with a proper EV, but so far GM's EV strategy still seems a bit hit-and-miss and like "next year's models" might be the ones to watch for. From my perspective, at least.)

If anything, generating a pdf from various input files/structured text has been a much harder task. We generated docx files to allow for easy modification by non-technical staff, but to generate a pdf we had to use a headless instance of libreoffice since pandoc was struggling with the rendering.

Newcomen steam engines did not depend on any metallurgy, chemistry or material science the Romans didn't have. These are low pressure steam engines; the work is done by atmospheric pressure when the steam is condensed. They can be built with a copper boiler and a hand-finished cast brass cylinder with leather piston seals.

The Romans could do all of this, but nobody had the idea. And it's the sort of idea that doesn't just spring into somebody's head out of the blue, Newcomen was applying principles and ideas other people came up with first (story of the entire industrial revolution.)

You skipped the part about the Federal Reserve and how its supposed to be semi-independent from the spending of the government - i.e. the government cannot print money but the federal reserve can to fund its operations in the form of buying bonds/securities/etc.

Also the government does not distribute the money via government spending. The Federal Reserve distributes the money and it can do so even without the government by purchasing bonds from the private sector.

Your suggestion is actually the common misunderstanding and it reverses the responsibilities of various institutions in such a way that most people feel they are subjects of their government.

Population size isn't much of a concern right now so idk what OP is talking about, but I doubt population size is solved. Natural selection, in absence of premature death, selects for those that give birth the most. So while at the moment, we are in a sort of lull, eventually the people who have a low birth rate, will be selected out of the population. The only way this doesn't happen is with another force acting in the opposite direction. For example, maybe whatever is causing the birth rate decline now, actually counters the incentives of natural selection over hundreds or thousands of years, or the population exceeds the carrying capacity of the Earth such that premature death becomes common once again.
