Energy generation isn't really decentralizing in a meaningful way. Sure individuals can have their own solar panels or wind turbines (and for many people this makes sense), but the most efficient renewable projects are big centralized projects that take up a lot of land area. I believe it will always be that way for economy of scale reasons. This also means that large electricity consumers who can position themselves near cheap sources of electricity will have a cost advantage, which again increases the returns to centralized manufacturing.

There was a time when we were facing daily blackouts. I was less than 10 yo. All families would come out in their respective courtyard during such times.

During one such instance, some people came to our neighbour's house. (Later I learnt they belonged to the coal mafia. And those guys had come to threaten him. In a very gentlemanly mafia style. With guns and all.) We were sitting on our stairs, counting stars and constellations (another one of my father's pastimes those days that got me interested in astronomy) and had a vantage of height to observe the whole thing. My father, for some reason, thought of indulging me. He took me on his lap and told me that when people converse, words don't matter. What matters is their intention. So it's very important to read between the lines. And to factor in the context and their role in it. He went on to explain the various intricacies of that conversation to drive his point.

That day, I lost my innocence.

Works for me. I have no particular prejudice against any culture, my concerns are entirely practical. If you can participate in meetings during hours the rest of the team will be awake, and your English is good enough that everyone can understand 100% of what you say, you have equal value to someone sitting in the US.

My parents gave me freedom, far more than I needed or wanted. Growing up I learned that so many kids are burdened with meddling, planning parents who use offspring as a projection screen. I'm really glad my parents never pushed me to do anything, except maybe instilling the value of education (but it cost me no effort to go to university, so pushing it very much was not, never did a second of homework).

As consequence, I usually that what I feel like, but have no urge to do things because I can; off course I can do them, but I'll do those things I want to do, not because they are (extravagant?) options.

You can not get good at an abstract matter.

It just doesn’t work this way.

You get good at some specific activities and then maybe generalize the experience to the point where you’re able tov extrapolate it to something else.

In other words — first you need to answer what do ypu need this abstract skill for, what exact goal and then go get good at that specific thing.

Just spitballing, but this changing of source url reminds me of an idea I had a while back. In cases like this, where the url is changed from source, the old url should still be linked. Maybe as a sub title, or perhaps there should be a separate "changed" link on posts like this. The changed link could show title or url source changes.

> It compliments nuclear reasonably well, because the cost of peak capacity for nuclear is completely off the charts.

If you actually invested in enough nuclear and build modern plants that can load follow way better then this isn't big problem.

It would only make sense if building storage over added capacity was way, way cheaper, and I not sure it actually is once you are pumping out lots of nuclear.

Even then, you would likely go for heat storage, not chemical storage if you are paring it with nuclear.

> Especially given nuclear's increasing unreliability due to being over-centralised and sensitive to weather as we are seeing in france and china right now.

Again this is mostly a problem if you have not built enough and every plant need to be on at all times.

In addition modern nuclear plants can be air cooled and should be way less sensitive.

So again with nuclear, the main problem is that we are building 60s technology that was designed for submarines.

> novices that were programming for the first time [had to] write simple programs using common program constructs (e.g., loops, conditionals, functions, variables, parameters)

They had to do this in different languages:

- Perl

- Randomo: a language "where some of the syntax was chosen with a random number generator and the ASCII table"

- Quorum: "where the syntax, semantics, and API designs change in correspondence to the latest academic research and literature on programming language usability"

Users did significantly better in Quorum, but there was no statistically significant difference between Randomo and Perl!

Not saying this is a meaningful study or result*, but man is it good for poking fun at Perl :-)

* woa, novices understand Quorum's "repeat 12 times" better than Perl's "for ($i = 0; $i <= $12; $i++){"? What a surprise! It would have been more interesting to see if people with no programming exposure can get stuff done meaningfully faster after e.g. two sessions of three hours' practice in one of the languages. And don't give a complicated three-segment for loop example when perl literally has a "for (1..6) {" construct.

I have owned a Tesla, and I leased my wife a Bolt a while back. She's convinced, I'm convinced, but with the lease coming to an end next year we probably will not replace the Bolt with another EV. Why? Prices. I was ready to buy a Mach E, but then Ford raised the price something like 6 grand while simultaneously losing the $7500 tax credit. That effectively bumps the price of the car into a territory I don't think makes a good value.

So instead we're putting ourselves on the waiting list for a RAV4 Prime. We'll still reap most of the benefits of plugging in, but the price is much more palatable for what you get.

People should probably stop saying that rust is about memory safety, its design has impact on a lot of others things (that I arguably, care much more about).

> many interacting systems resulting in unpredictable behavior[0], buggy level geometry[1], or poorly scripted missions not accounting for all player behavior[2].

[0]: Rust borrowing system (you know exactly who is allowed to touch each ressource at a given point in time) is great at pushing you away from architecture with too much mutable interaction. That is a side effect of the system rather than its design purpose but, for my point of view, it is one of the main draw to write large projects in rust rather than C++.

[1]: probably not something Rust will help you with.

[2]: Rust type system (and overall coding conventions) is really good at building things such that it will only compile if you check for all cases or, at the very least, leave some explicitly unchecked cases.

I feel like predictions on EV adoption generally focus too much on practical benefits and cost improvements over time, but discount - or at least fail to mention - the potential impact of ICE products becoming very uncool, very quickly - at least in Western countries. Overnight, even.

It’s not a big stretch to imagine that generations of younger people concerned about the climate might make product consumption choices that draw a clear line between themselves and their ICE-driving parents.

Just a small nit but I think you mixed up OP (Original Poster) and GP (Grand Parent).
You might be surprised. I have some hyper conservative folks in my extended family, and a couple of them have switched to EVs. Definitely goes against their tribal ideology, but money talks. When you drive a lot, it doesn't take much math to make you realize driving a pickup (or any regular ICE car for that matter) is an overpriced way to signal virtue. Just get a flag.
Eh, EV's are there. The older models like my 2012 leaf arent. But everything new is. The bigger issue is infrastructure. Leaving it to the market to put in charging has been a disaster. I can't relate or understand the 'city' argument (if you live in a city, get a bus pass), but for home charging, so long as you've got a commute or two of range, you can either charge at work parking or at home, mix mox.
I can put one 100W USB-C PD charger and cable in my bag and charge:

- Macbook Pro (work)

- Macbook Air (personal)

- Friend's PC laptop

- Friend's Android phone

- iPad

- Nintendo Switch

- Steam Deck

- Panic Playdate

- Sony Headphones

- Amazon Kindle

- Anker battery pack

- Fuji Camera

I think that's pretty great. Obviously these things aren't all in my travel bag at the same time, but my travel charging setup will work with any combination of them, from all of these different manufacturers, at up to 100W!

Sadly I do need to carry a USB-C to Lightning cable for my iPhone and AirPods, but it seems like even those final dominos may fall in the next year or two.

I agree that there are definitely shortcomings in how complex things get when dealing with Thunderbolt, Docks, and the naming of different versions, but for charging things are pretty great right now as long as you get chargers and cables that are rated for USB-C PD.
Submillisecond Web Framework
Agreed, but I think this is likely going to be a "tipping point" type of change. That is, overall EV share is still relatively low, but very soon not having charging at apartment buildings will be a non-starter. I'd easily bet that in 5 years you'll see new condo/apartment developments where every space has a charging option.
Un-networked? My wife's Bolt just has OnStar, which has nothing to do with it being an EV -- all GM vehicles have come with OnStar for years now. Pretty easy to disable it, too.

I have self hosted for 20 years. If you want perfect delivery then completely self-hosting isn't for you. It is a good learning experience and once setup it does not require much attention.

A compromise solution is to outsource delivery which is by far the shittiest part of self hosting because of bad business practices and lack of regulation. It is the least interesting bit anyway.

My email server is setup with policies commented out to send outbound emails through another host I maintain if required. When a very large company hosting lots of email for many domains mass ip blacklisted my hosting provider late last year I used this to maintain connectivity while the companies sorted out their dispute.

Stating the obvious. Coordination is a prerequisite for any campaign/change movement, and no one is perfect.

But on coordination: I began advocating against CF after listening to @lizthegrey [1], a leader of the campaign, lay out the evidence of harassment - not exclusive to keffals - going back years [2]. (I mildly trust keffals by proxy, but I too am unsure of her history.)

In countries and US states taking the fate of humanity seriously they are either preparing to fund or have already funded public/semi-public EV charging infrastructure upgrades.

However, with a little planning it is possible to own an EV even if you live in an apartment where there is no charging infrastructure.

The average American drives 39 (let's call it 40) miles per day. The Hyundai Ioniq 5 has a 303 (let's call it 300) mile range.

That's 7.5 days of driving on a full battery, but most people will get freaked out about having a low battery (despite driving around with their gas light on) so you just have to spend 15-45 minutes every 4 days at a DC fast charger and you'll never have a battery below 50%.

Going out? Go out somewhere with a DC fast charger. There are tens of thousands of them and that number has been increasing by about 25% per year for the last two years.

So EVs in an apartment is a pain in the ass but manageable.

In a couple of years apartments are going encountering friction while attracting renters, destinations will have friction attracting visitors, and offices will have friction attracting employees unless there are accessible charging options so I suspect the public EV charging situation will improve rapidly.

> The remnants within the GBP are often fragments, particles, or microscopic.

Fair point.

Having microscopic taggants sounds like a good idea, but I was thinking about the problems of companies stealing nets, or using counterfeit nets, or unregistered nets. Solving that would require (sometimes adversarial) checks of the nets while they are in use, with the checks potentially being performed by entities that can't get microscopically close to the nets to inspect them.
