I mean, the garden has always been semi-closed, we've never had a truly open garden, and nothing Go did was going to change that. In other words, what language has ever solved the problem of cross-language-reuse in a way that was so simple that we didn't end up rewriting a huge swath of the ecosystem in every new language? It's not like Java or Rust came along and now we can stop rewriting HTTP libraries in subsequent languages.

Easy interop has only ever been an illusion (we forget about the difficulties of integrating distinct build systems and memory management systems or the runtime costs of marshaling data between memory layouts). Rather than paying significant costs to preserve that illusion, Go doubled down in order to realize some pretty considerable gains: easy compilation even on niche distros, even when cross compiling, truly static binaries, etc.
Thanks for linking to your Google search. I never would have found that otherwise.

It's a common thing, but is also a great example of over classification which is supposed to be avoided (for legal and other reasons, but a primary motivator of of over classification is just laziness, failure to evaluate what is being produced). There have been efforts to properly qualify software as unclassified (maybe FOUO, or now CUI) and only data as classified (secret or above), but then you have a large contingent of classifiers who still think security through obscurity works.

But it's being worked on, maybe one day more will be open source.

This is marketing BS if I've ever heard it. Their "instruction set" is LLVM. They're doing nothing more than what Transmeta (dynamic/programmable ISA) or Lisp/Arm-Java machines (running higher level code at a machine level) did before them.

What you're saying is apparently true for the International Fixed Calendar, but not the Sol Calendar. According to [1], the first (and second and third...) of every month in any given year is the same day of the week, but the mapping changes every year.

The population size problem is not because people can't have enough children, it's because they don't want to have (enough) children.

I don't see how cloning helps with that.
There are languages like that---the distinction is referred to as "proximative" vs. "obviative". (Though strictly speaking, it differentiates between "more topical" and "less topical" third persons, which might not necessarily correspond with the order in which they're mentioned.) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Obviative Apparently, there's even an Algonquian language which has a "further obviative" too, thus distinguishing three different levels of topicality.

I think more universal rural challenges for people that are from more populated areas are... difficulty breaking into the community as an outsider. Lack of medical services. Lack of restaurants. Lack of services in general. I lived in some fairly populated suburbs for a decade or so before moving back to where I grew up in a fairly rural small town and the adjustment has been fairly difficult. Haven't really had any issues with any ATV's or shotguns in the middle of the night... I mean I'm sure it has happened but its not such a recurring issue that I'm losing sleep over it. We aren't too far from a fairly popular snowmobile route but I rather like the occasional whine while I'm cozy in bed!
Oh, sure. But that's the big caveat, isn't it? "If you're not having to sacrifice any of your other life priorities in the process." If attempting to go for the bigger paycheck leads to unemployment, then I won't be able to survive myself, let alone help others. Everything is a risk-reward analysis, but such an analysis requires an understanding of how likely each outcome is. If chasing the dollars is more likely to lead me to fewer opportunities, then it's not worth doing.

The British National Grid says that already planned increases in capacity will cope with plenty to spare.

Your assertion is a very common one not backed by those in the industry.
Two small things I would love to see changed with the current calendar, but will never happen:

* February deserves to have more days, so that every month has either 30 or 31 days. Taking away 1 day from August and January, and giving them to Feb would do it. In leap years, Feb can have 31 days.

* The year ought to start on March 1st. So that September regains its place as the 7th month, October the 8th month, November the 9th month, and December the 10th month. Because that's what "Sept", "Oct", "Nov", and "Dec" mean.

This is leaning heavily on the assumption that your personality is primarily a product of your genetics, and not of your life experiences. Outside of relating on physiology, what makes you think you would understand their reactions to unique life experiences at such a young age?

Speaking as someone who had a dramatic personality shift from early trauma, I don't think that what you hypothesize is true.

For an extremely logical language, I would nominate Hebrew. The way that verbs are conjugated from three-letter roots and those same roots can become related nouns with regular patterns of adding suffixes is just amazing.

The Rabbinic tradition is that the original language before Babel was Hebrew and after my studies of the language in college, I can totally buy that.

No single thing, but in general the gradually declining fraction of people capable of understanding complex systems "from top to bottom" concerns me.

There are no near future improvements that fit game development people. All people who could have been creating and using new languages are not even going to go to job interviews. Because ads, fin-tech and web are paying a lot more.
I think there is some truth to the generational knowledge transfer because the tech industry is still young. That said, we should not expect the generation gap to play an outsized role in tech compared to manufacturing, engineering, etc.

Where the technology is mission critical, healthcare companies have worked for decades to train new developers on 1980’s tech.

In the same way that all cultural understanding can become extinct, we probably are losing some bits of wisdom as older generations age out. The problem is it’s not obvious what bits of wisdom are being lost, even to the aged.

Finally, given Moore’s law, many of the constraints which drove early decisions no longer apply. As long as we are on a hyper-growth curve in technology cost and adoption rates, we will suffer from a lack of wisdom, and need lots of extra energy to be spent on bad ideas in order to make progress.

Eventually, when growth rates slow down, we will have a more developed sense of what technological wisdom looks like in the long term. The good news is, that will happen on its own. The bad news is It’s a long way off.
Oberon was a mostly successful experiment in minimalism. Once when I was surprised by a compile error that I didn't think was correct, it didn't take me too long to pinpoint the line in the Oberon compiler source (written by Wirth) which was causing it and understand why it was the way it was. You cannot do this with any 'modern' system today.

Just to clarify some things:

- this is similar to how it works in the EU now

- depositing the final accepted author version (without journal editors' final typesetting / grammar corrections) into a publicly accessible repository seems to be within these guidelines

- open access publishing is typically much more expensive than the closed model for the researchers. Open access fees can be between several hundred and several thousand dollars, depending on the journal

- these costs, ostensibly to offset the subscription model, are now most likely to fall on the researchers (i.e., the government)

- libraries might still want the subscription to the back-catalog which would still be hugely expensive

All in all, I'm in favor of this regardless of the finances (up to a point).
I don't know that this has an effect on mixed funding items from the government. In the acquisition structure from the government there is a delineation between what will be unlimited rights (funded fully by government), government purpose rights (GPR, mixed funding), and limited rights (company maintains proprietary information).

For GPR items they can only be shared with an NDA to the recipient of that information so I don't those would be applicable to making them public access. I think it is more addressing that the unlimited rights items will be by default public instead of being kept behind a publication or distributed "as needed".
What to do when everything just sucks?
I wrote my first lines of code almost 39 years ago (I'm 45 now), sold my first software as shareware 35 years ago and was enjoying software development every day since.

But something happened one or two years ago and now all the big problems of the teams I see seem so self-inflicted, my own team/company included.

It really doesn't matter what I want as my voice inside of our company doesn't count much and people really try to make all the silly mistakes possible...

Most of the time the devs of my company shoot themselves in the foot (not literally), but as a whole the company shoots itself in the head really.

I don't know what to do. I don't feel the energy anymore to do anything about it, really. I just gave up, and I am tremendously sad about it.

Is there some advice out there of what to do to get my "mojo" back?

> I'm sure that tow trucks will get to the point where they also have a charger, but we're in new territory here.

Tow trucks don't need chargers, they just need to drop your car off at the nearest charger.

This isn't even "new" territory: tow trucks tow things from point A to point B all the time. That's what tow trucks were built for.

It isn't "new" territory for EVs: Anecdotally, I had a friend tell me working as a tow truck near a "blind spot" at the time in Tesla's charging maps along an Interstate through one of the Plains states. (A blind spot that has since been filled.) There was a driver that drove that stretch regularly and couldn't get enough charge to make it to the next station so would regularly call for tow. (So regularly in that case that they'd call a day ahead or so and schedule it like an appointment and the tow truck would just be waiting around the "usual spot".)

> Aside from the "you're there for 5x longer", this means that to get the same throughput of vehicles served at the station it needs 5x to 10x more space than the gas station. This is where its going to be real interesting.

Though it likely will not ever need the exact same throughput because home charging and destination charging remove a lot of "local traffic" through fast chargers that gas stations still have to regularly serve.

Even in long distance travel destination chargers will shake up and decentralize a lot of the "station need". On a road trip you might not need "park at a Fry's while you shop", but you might still find use in "park at a restaurant while you sit down and eat" and "park at a cool gift shop while you shop for souvenirs" and "park at the neat tourist trap and explore a mini museum" and maybe even "park at a motel where you can catch a quick nap".

EVs could herald a return to the sorts of weird destinations that Route 66, as one clear nostalgia-filled example, made US long distance travel such an "exciting thing" and that lots of people have great nostalgia for even if most of today's Route 66 is a rusted memory of itself. I know plenty of long distance drivers that might like a small return to that Americana tradition of weird tourist traps and strange excuses to stop, and even AAA still thinks you should pay them for trip tiks even in the internet age of GPS because they still think they can find some of that nostalgia for you.

With EVs, we don't have to cluster around the logistics of gas stations anymore and could have all sorts of chargers "off the beaten path" (of the Interstates). What sort of weird local and regional places could install chargers? There's all sorts of creativity to be explored here.

And all Intel and AMD processors have "spy" capabilities too with the built-in black-box Intel Management Engine and AMD Platform Security Processor. And it's only becoming more powerful and commonplace with remote attestation and Microsoft Pluton.

Given all of that, China seems like a great option if they produce RISC-V processors.

This is the perfect kind of framing for her argument. Someone who paid off their loans didn't work hard, they didn't make a coherent plan and execute it, they didn't sacrifice, they were just "blessed". A benevolent god smiled upon them and their debt disappeared!
I would presume a better way would be to not make people feel unsure of what it is, and just pick something thats super clear.

When I went to the CA DMV to get my real id, the person helping me was very pleasant and nice. I told her this was in remarkable contrast to my usual DMV experience, and she told me “we’re the new generation.”
First, this is a California law so the grid source mix in California rather than the “world” scenario in the Volvo report seems relevant. (That report gives 3 scenarios, but your commments seem derived from their “world” fuel scenario which is not representative of California.)

The link you just supplied repeats this error on your part. Here is a California-relevant link:

https://www.energy.ca.gov/news/2022-02/new-data-indicates-ca...

Note especially that the state is working hard to simultaneously move the grid mix to renewables.

Second, I think your notion of a “switch” is getting it wrong. This is a transition over the next 13 years, of new car sales. It’s not front loading, it’s a gradual replacement. The UCS link shows a 1-2 year break even point on CO2, not 20 years.

I really think your analysis here is on the wrong track, and that California is doing some solid work, both with promoting renewables, and on signposting a transition to electric power, in the absence of good Federal leadership.
