Not sure why you would be beginning to feel "aggrieved" -- you don't have evidence you're being underpaid per the market rate, and you didn't feel being underpaid in your previous 8 years. "42U Rack and 20 git repos" in 8 years don't seem that impressive TBH, unless the work involves interesting technical challenges. Did money suddenly become more important to you, or was there some kind of fallout between you and your employer, or did something trigger you want more meaning in, or validation of your work?

I honestly don't know your situation enough to say whether this is actually likely or not, but given that the other replies haven't mentioned this I'll bring this up to you for consideration just in case: I can't help but wonder whether you're interpreting an early "midlife crisis" as a dispute over pay levels with the employer. I mean do you actually feel financial pressure, or are you just disillusioned with your work (or even life)? If you think this might be the case, perhaps instead of trying to get out of your current job ASAP, try expanding your areas of technical expertise and cultivate new skills that seem interesting to you (and preferably valued by other employers)?
I would assume any sat option for a phone would have a similar subscription--and would therefore be more or less equally expensive for occasional texts and safety backup.
I think "fatalistic" is a better word than "contradictory". I otherwise agree.

There are a lot of misconceptions about the Big Bang. The Universe is a metric space. The "metric" part here is deliberate, specific and technical. It really means that given two points the metric can tell us what we call the "distance" between them. Abstract maths deals with spaces that do and don't have metrics.

The best explanation I've heard of the Big Bang is not that the Universe originated from a single point but rather the metric between all points in the Universe at the time of the Big Bang was 0.

There's an open question about whether the Universe is finite or infinite. I mean the actual Universe not the observable Universe. This is almost a metaphysical question since we'll probably never know.

We don't really know how gravity and space acts in such extreme environments but with black holes (that we also don't understand at the quantum level) we have plenty of examples of admittedly less extreme but still exxtreme corollaries. It is kind of mind-bending though. One description I read says that time acts like space and space acts like time within the event horizon. As in, you can see light entering the black holes behind you but that's the past and we can view the past all around us (eg distant galaxies are us viewing the past). Towards the singularity is the "future" and we can no more see that than we can see any future.

We, as sentient beings, have a difficult time comprehending things beyond our existence. What I mean is that before we were born, we didn't exist. After we die, we don't exist. We can't really comprehend that intuitively because our perception of the world is predicated on our cognizance. The past is easier. Stuff happened before we were born. But now we do exist. So at some point in the future we won't exist. How can you comprehend your own lack of existence?

I feel in some ways similar about the Universe. Our observations are predicated on concepts like "time" and "space" that at some point didn't exist. How do you reason about the lack of existence of space let alone time when everything we know is predicated on that?

Still, I too feel like the author is too pessimistic about how much more we can learn here. Assuming we aren't extinguished in the next few centuries (which is actually more difficult than it sounds at this point) we are going to be here for an inconceivably long time. Given our understanding of the Universe, that's likely to be >10^100 years. That's a long time to figure stuff out.

Spoke to Amby, he said it might be because we throw away frequencies above 10 kHz. We'll try to fix the bug today, thanks again for catching this.
This response is correct. Be sure to forward it to the folks in the EU this winter when they're unable to charge their cars or heat their homes.

We should be thinking long term, but we can't forget about the present and the path to the glorious future. I think in hindsight we'll soon admit that we botched the transition to a greener world and caused needless suffering by putting ideologies before engineering.
Seems you like put real effort it to this response, so thank you :)

I'll read, digest, and apply it all tomorrow, thanks again!
Yes but renewables & nuclear suppliers would be willing to deliver for a lot less money. The question I answered was, why is it so expensive when we don't use so much gas. The price however gets set by the most expensive supplier. As soon as you need to use gas to deliver electricity, the price skyrockets.
Thermal mass doesn't help if it's hot for a days. Then it just keeps the heat.

In winter, the house works great to retain heat. But as I learned during construction when I had to prepare for laying flooring, it took a while to heat it up.
That could work both for and against life.
We don't see large tidal power installations because they are not every economical so far. In theory there's a lot of energy to be won, but the salt water causes corrosion issues, and maintenance gets expensive quickly

I assume it's borrowing language from incidental vs fundamental complexity in programming.

Fundamental is core to the problem, incidental is stuff we add because of our imperfect solutions.

Yes, that was always my theory for why months are 0-based. Back in the days of early Unix, this might have had a tiny performance benefit that was enough for them to choose that implementation.
> People think about space travel exactly in the same terms as the History of European Colonialism. Like exactly.

This I agree with.

> I think space colonization will be similar to European Colonialism but only for the Solar System.

This I disagree. Without von Neumann machines, at best the initial colonisation of the Sol system will be like whichever human first found Iceland or Greenland, but only if they got there via a shipwreck.

If we do get von Neumann replicators soon enough to avoid that, we may just Dyson this system and go directly to every galaxy in our future light cone.
Sigh. I hear you, but your example is bad.

ip replaced ifconfig NOT because of new hardware support. For one, ifconfig could, and has been, extended. Second, that wouldn't explain removing ifconfig. Third, other OSes, like the BSDs, have alternatives for additional functionality like wiconfig.

ip could exist alongside of ifconfig, if ifconfig were really a subset of ip. It's political. And if you're going to echo that, "oh, someone needs to sit around and spend all sorts of energy keeping ifconfig up to date", then remember that they clearly don't if you contend that ip is all about supporting new stuff.

In other words, there's nothing in what you're saying at all that would explain the need to remove ifconfig and break decades of common usage. That's unnecessary churn, in my opinion.
Surely you mean RISC-V then. There’s nothing free (like freedom) about x86 or ARM.

Announce a $1 trillion nuclear build-out plan for the EU, to build at least 50-60 new nuclear power plants. Go big, really big, and get started on it soon. Why can't Europe go Manhattan Project / Apollo big for such a critical matter? It's cowardice, a lack of daring, if they choose not to. They have the expertise, they have the financial capability, they are lacking the will (so far).

To an extent you can scare markets into providing cheaper prices in a variety of ways.

That goes for scaring Russia, which is still living in a fantasy bubble about the context. They do not believe the rest of Europe can or will become independent of their supply.
My doc said i was fine too after having covid twice in 9 weeks.

I disagree.

The US Government is the problem - by creating loans 18-year olds can't default on - when hardly any of them understand the consequences.

If colleges don't offer ever juicier amenities, the students will take their debt elsewhere to get a better offering.

Colleges are simply competing for students.

The amount of debt they can get - and therefore the amount of school they can "afford" is the problem.

Can't really explain elephants in that case.
Probably true. But my point is that if there was some secure/easy way to clone a key you wouldn’t need to think about redundant keys at all. If you create a clone you get redundancy for all sites in one sweep

(Most likely this will be solved by the mobile os vendors who will sync and backup your private key for you. Using your phones HSM instead of an external device)
Additional anecdata: This is similar to what happened to me. I got covid earlier this year and had it bad for a week, had stuffiness and a possible sinus infection for a few weeks, and was tired all the time for a few weeks after that. The coughing lingered for a while too. Eventually I got back to normal just waiting it out (disclaimer: this is not a recommendation).
The lyrics of the song include:

(1) Plenty of people spent their teens/young adult years doing drugs and getting into drama. WoW isn't "wasting" compared to that.

(2) Don't compare all-of-you to the individual best parts of everyone else.

(3) Who did you hurt to feel so much guilt? Some magical future self that you were "supposed to be"? This regret is a dillusion and self-inflicted torture that will only distort your view of the world and yourself, harming you until you drop it. There is "now" and how you act now. Free yourself/mind from the weight/lies/chains/whatever that you put on yourself. There answer is NOT "Step on the gas to make up lost time." Don't act out of neurosis. Find lightness and clarity -- not concerning the world (that will always be murky) -- but in yourself and your own decisions (don't live in constant second guessing.)

(4) To paraphrase: "When I was young, I admired the smart; Older, I admired the wise; Finally, I admired the kind".

Would be cheaper to build wind power.

The reason the southern areas have high prices is because they are connected to other markets.

Connect the northern stuff better and it'll equalise the price but not substantially. High cost low gain compared with cheap new wind generation.

unlike physics, and somewhat unlike chemistry, there is no direct causal relationship, instead it is systems of systems with new, unpredictable events entering into most of the them constantly. The time window for a prediction is also crucial, because the same set of decisions and rules in one era have different results in another era. Economists preside over this cacophony with a lot of measurements and news items. Occasionally something really worthy comes out, but the daily arguing and posturing is quite a turkey show, IMHO. Thomas Piketty got a prize recently.

Gasoline isn't self-oxidizing, so you can put out a gasoline fire (instead of just "letting it burn"). Also gasoline doesn't burn at 2000C, I believe.
Exactly. As an added bonus, dramatically reducing automobile capacity + traffic will leave it for those who truly need it: cargo vans, transporting disabled or elderly people, minivan/minibus-style pooled transportation, etc.
Err the best engineers in the world work for him and want to work for him. Engineers run his companies. They’re given crazy ambitious goals and the resources to go do it. Engineers love challenges and making the impossible possible. Robots, fast cars, and rockets.
Furthermore there is the complication caused by ambiguous problem statements. In your example, how we define the first human that got to North America? Which immigration wave? What if there were immigration waves that were completely wiped out without leaving any effects of the subsequent populations?

One of his point is that software engineering techniques did not improve at all, and even regressed, but all of that is/was hidden by the fact that hardware got us a free ride for several decades.

You can use terribly slow scripting and techniques and get something working, not because the tooling is genius, but because the hardware is so incredibly fast.

My brother's heart and lung health suffered extensively after his second bout with COVID. O2 uptake is somewhat diminished, and resting heart rate is still very high. Walking up two flights of stairs requires a 5 to 10 minute sit down as he is completely winded by the time he gets to the top.

If any of that sounds familiar, you may want to get some more extensive tests done. I don't know what will come of it, pretty much the only thing that has helped my brother so far is a regular low dose of Benadryl. There's a bit of edgy research or internet driven anecdata (not sure which) that led him to try it, but it is better than nothing, at least.
Right. You’re grounding your statement in the view that theology cannot evolve with the times, and that any claim that it does is actually, in fact, a falsehood. That itself is a major assumption on your part.

> I think it's fine to call 移動動詞 transitive because they take a direct object.

I would agree if it were a direct object. I think mainstream analysis is that を is considered to not always mark the object, but sometimes the place you walk through, and as such frequently stands in opposition to に. I would argue that these are essentially adjunct phrases, not core arguments, although that's always a difficult argument to make in Japanese, since all NPs are theoretically optional, even arguments.

> I can't be bothered to look up what cases actually are and verify this since I find applying western linguistics to Japanese to not be very useful.

As usual, everyone will have their different definitions, but I consider case to be morphological (see also: https://wals.info/chapter/49). I think using vocabulary such as "genitive" muddies the waters. The genitive has a number of functions in, say, Latin or Ancient Greek, not all of which are related to possession. I think it's less confusing to call の a possessive marker - although technically, it's not always possession (e.g. 校長のスズキ先生), so maybe you could even find a better term, like "relational".
Hey. I'm not the person you're responding to, but your response sparked my interest given the context.

It sounds like you're saying, "Yes. Our technology enables someone to listen to YouTube without forcing them to continually view the video."

If so, I would like to caution you to tread lightly in this area. I'd built a 300K MAU YouTube-streaming Chrome extension which was ultimately terminated due to advertisers complaining to YouTube that viewers might consume content without visually seeing an advertisement. I went through a year of attempting to mitigate their concerns, but, ultimately, their expectation was that all a/v content become paused the moment video is not visible.

The only exception to this rule, that I am aware of, is Twitch.TV streamers listening to YouTube while streaming and viewers of the stream consuming that YouTube content without seeing the visuals. This is a backroom agreement between Amazon and the RIAA and is not an agreement I would encourage others to hope to achieve.

Obviously, you're not bound by YouTube's TOS, but run afoul and you'll find hyperbeam added to the big 4's url blacklist. This will prevent all YouTube content from playing through your domain.
Im not sure what proportion of the atmosphere would have to be a certain gas to spot it. In addition, JWST doesn’t have enough resolution to see small spots on an exoplanet. I don’t think JWST could spot earth-like levels of CFCs.
It wouldn't change much in this map, German nuclear plants always had cooling issues in hot summer. No open-loop cooling to prevent water from getting too hot for the fish, and plants capable of closed loop cooling eventually get issues with the river's water level. France has the same issues right now with their nuclear plants.

Winter is of course a different issue
This is genuinely one of the funniest comments I’ve read on HN.
After reading the linked article, it got me interested enough to find a paper [1] as one of the top hits suggesting that it's not a pidgin:

Pasting for convenience (paragraphing added for readability):

> Related to the two previous claims, it is occasionally suggested that Riau Indonesian might be a pidgin. Since one of the hallmarks of a pidgin is a radically reduced grammar, such suggestions are generally motivated by my characterization of Riau Indonesian as having a very simple grammar.

> Be that as it may, Riau Indonesian fails to meet the profile of a typical pidgin on multiple other grounds.

> Structurally, pidgins generally also have a small lexicon, but that of Riau Indonesian is in the same ballpark as those of most other languages. Moreover, pidgins are typically unstable, exhibiting lots of variation, whereas Riau Indonesian, as argued in Section 2.7 above, is as stable as any other language.

> Sociolinguistically, pidgins lack native speakers, whereas Riau Indonesian, as observed in Section 2.4 above, has lots. In addition, pidgins are typically used in a limited set of communicative contexts, whereas Riau Indonesian, as noted above, is used in a wide range of contexts.

> So for these reasons, at least, Riau Indonesian is clearly not a pidgin.

This is just more of the same of what we have seen over the last few years. People claiming that science should somehow be filtered to not offend or to promote the "approved" agenda and goals.

And it's all nonsense. If the science (actual science, not the beaurocratic science we've seen of late) shows X, then I don't care how it can be interpreted. Release the data and let the conclusions be discussed, which will ultimately sprout more research and more data to clarify and guide the conclusions being drawn.

Otherwise, you're just picking and choosing what is considered science based one your own biases.
