I'm not sure how we can square the idea that integrated economies outperform hermit kingdoms, yet somehow that if hermit kingdoms became isolated to the extreme they'll actually start to become very productive again. You have to believe that a hermit kingdom would both be more productive if it was more open, and simultaneously believe that it would be more productive if it was even more isolated.

I don't believe settler civilizations outperform their home countries across the board. Certainly there have been many that failed. Successful ones tend to be in places that offer a lot of natural resources, often even surpassing the home country. But of course, the opposite would be true for Mars.

> Humanities specialists argue that these majors open up higher-earning opportunities later in life because they don’t lock students into a narrow programming language, certification or career path. The critical thinking taught in humanities courses allows students to adapt to jobs that may not have existed when they enrolled in college.

I am sick of this weird non-logic: You are technical, so you must be bad at domain knowledge, talking, presenting, leading, social skills and now apparently of all the things even critical thinking. You come across it all the time in the non-SV business-world.

If whoever wrote this, would be actually good at critical thinking, they would have noticed, that there is no logical connection. Just because I am good at one thing, does not mean, I have to be bad at another thing.

It is your insecurity talking, not your critical thinking.
The problem with my experience in the Midwest (Michigan in particular) is that their power grid is so bad that I would lose electricity for an average of 1 week each year (the problem is so widespread that Michigan has laws in place to protect utility companies against customer claims for interruptions less than 5 days[^1]).

If you get a nasty February ice storm that cuts a power line, you can be without electric power in 0F weather for up to 5 days. I guess people can install natural gas generators for that occurrence, but that seems to be a little bit counterintuitive (also, would a gas company provide emergency-only service?). I am not sure if heat pumps can work off regular gas powered portable generators that people usually use for emergency power.

You would be incorrect there. Academic librarians typically need a subject matter graduate degree in addition to a master's in library science. Many actually have PhDs. You could argue that those degrees may not necessarily be relevant "on the ground," but they certainly present a barrier to hiring.
That will adversely impact the lives of the rich which push for the common man to take the blunt of the economic pain, which is a non starter.
CPU-adjacent ML compute power.

Today, models are trained on massive GPUs that live very far away from CPUs (microseconds). This means the models end up having extremely predictable workloads (dense linear algebra). If CPUs were closer to that much compute, you could efficiently execute substantially more dynamic work. Apple and Intel are both getting there with AMX coprocessors (that live only nanoseconds away).
> You might run out of services then at some point

I prefer using services for my password management (I'm a bitwarden user who's currently happy as well), but I would jump back to some sort of self-hosted or even offline/manual sync solution if I thought that was the only way to keep my passwords safe. I like the convenience of a service, but I would sacrifice it over my security if it got to the point where I had to choose between the two.
> Assuming a heat pump lasts about 10 years

Residential heat pumps are estimated to last 20-25 years; with typical services being capacitor changes, electromechanical contactors, and coil cleaning.

Digital thermostats from 15 years ago prevent the most common compressor issues. Smart thermostats can now detect symptoms proactively.

In the last 15 years, we've seen technological advances in compressor, gas, and electronics (as well as air to ground and air to water). And better calculations for sizing and air quality.
In my case at least, my natural gas furnace doesn't work without electricity. I'd need a backup generator for it.
How about moving the working/middle class from single family homes to apartment complexes and starting using public transportation instead of cars? That would certainly be more energy efficient than cancelling a few private jet flights.

> It also uses sizeof to calculate the size of an array which would be good in any language except C

It is a pretty standard and popular way of finding the size on an array. The only caveat is that the programmer really has to be sure that it really is an array and not a pointer to an array.

For old people, it's personal robotic assistance.

For travel, it's "multi country visas" (like Schengen in EU or CTA in IE / UK, but for more and more regions that are not in a combined area), but also: "multi product travel agents", like you just go to the app, pick your next city, and you'll see a couple of price tiers of package, with each automatically taking care of: your hotel booking, your flights, your airport to hotel transport, plus any data sims, and other basics you need. And then it works the same for every city you want to go. Just works.

I agree with most of the comments about how ineffective this would be and the numerous problems it would cause but to provide some balance this is not some edict, or even law. Two dozen organizations "petitioned" the EPA. This is the equivalent of sending a strongly worded letter saying, "Could you pretty please do this?". It can and probably will go straight into the trash.

These are environmental organizations, of course they sent a letter. That's what they do. They'll also probably get a letter from all the heat pump manufacturers saying they're cool with it, and other letters from people selling natural gas and gas furnaces. I'm sure they'd like you to stop cutting down trees and that ain't going to happen either.
> yet somehow that if hermit kingdoms became isolated to the extreme they'll actually start to become very productive again

A Mars colony wouldn’t be a hermit kingdom. It would be isolated, but there would obviously still be dependence on followed by trade with Earth. Recreating that mix of semi-isolation and adversity on Earth strikes me as silly. Even if you got the mechanics right, what’s the attraction for the denizens? What keeps them there when the going gets tough? What are they doing and seeing that they fundamentally couldn't in more comfort?

Well, I was trying to avoid the entire rant about using API Keys for security in the first place.

https://zapier.com/engineering/apikey-oauth-jwt/

https://cloud.google.com/endpoints/docs/openapi/when-why-api...

We all have done it at one point or another. But if I am ever in the middle of a technical presentation and mention “API Keys”, I get all types of dirty looks from security.

Notice that Square for instance strongly discourages API Keys for production.

https://developer.squareup.com/docs/build-basics/access-toke...

On the AWS side (where I work) we always discourage long term use of access key/secret keys for accessing resources even though I realize it’s necessary for some integrations. Even then, most organizations also put a condition that you can only use it from known IP addresses.

This analysis also quite reasonably assumes zero transfer time between donkeys, perfect knowledge to run donkeys to exactly their limit (which are identical between all donkeys), and zero overhead in general. That's all fine, it's an upper limit analysis. But the overhead will be biting you in the exponential regime, unfortunately.

Another thing to remember about "the old days" is that they may not have computers and they may not have the Internet, but they have LOTS of time to think about more efficiency compared to an Internet commenter for whom this is merely a momentary side diversion for a few moments, and a lot more motivation. I feel satisfied with some of the answers to things like "How was Stonehenge built?" that have been found in the last couple of decades (or, if you prefer, "Can you show at least one method that could have been used to build Stonehenge?"), but I think one of the other lessons that was learned (at least by me) is that "take a modern person, give them one try in their busy lives to try the first thing that comes to their mind, and declare the task impossible when that doesn't work" isn't a very good way to understand the ancient world. They had time.

Would an ancient have described the "harmonic transfer technique" in this way? Heck no. Could they have worked their way to it through trial, error, and much simpler thinking? Absolutely. Finding that solution doesn't require calculus. Calculus just supplies a very nice analysis framework and a fantastic communication tool between the post author and us readers.
I see it from a different perspective. There are not that many real native Mac apps that both look and feel great. You could probably count them all on your hands.

Also, I certainly understand being the long time Mac expect. However, when we tested 1Password with new customers we found a ton of usability issues and many of these problems are solved in 1Password 8. One example, most new users couldn't even figure out how to create new items right away because of the look and the location of "New Item" button in the old app.
I'm really not sure what you're looking at, but on 1Password's mobile site there's a huge button to download from your phone's store on the homepage. The "Try 1Password FREE" button takes you to a well laid-out pricing page.

Edit: Ah, I guess you might be talking about the small Downloads section in the footer. Even that's much more clear than a page with a 2.x download, 2.x portable download, 1.x download, 1.x portable download, and then 30+ unofficial ports.
Unfortunately what will happen instead is natural gas is going to become just-as or almost-as expensive as oil or electric heat.

Honestly if I could go back 10 years when I replaced my oil furnace with gas, I'd definitely attempt to install a ground source heat pump instead. With the gas change it "paid for itself" in about 5 years, and I'd still be waiting for the ground source system, but I'd be frankly more future proof.

I can generate my own electricity with solar. I can't make my own natural gas.
When I worked for a National Supercomputing Center, I discovered that they had a distributed filesystem called Andrew Filesystem (AFS) which they used for archival purposes. With every new generation of distributed filesystem I always wondered why the older ones failed.

It wasn't until maybe 10 years ago that I finally got my answer: It turns out that Amdahl's Law kills AFS. There's a total throughput wall that becomes very painfully visible once you move to gigabit networking, and any one client can pretty much saturate the network.
Congrats on launching! I work on Plasmic. I have a sibling post on how I think we're quite different. But just to also clarify some points:

Considering how you describe the problem, you just don't know the codebase?

It's hard to debug a problem if you have no idea what most of the code is supposed to do. You can go for speed - asking colleagues that do know - or you can just start following the code until you understand it. That will take more time of course, but in time you will start having enough knowledge of the code base that you can just start throwing guesses when there's a problem.

My 2 cents in case i read your question right. If i haven't, there are a few answers describing debugging techniques :)

It’s fine to make mistakes, especially in a fluid, developing situation. And it is precisely therefore we shouldn’t dress up our hypothesises as fact.

The actors here presented mask dictates as gospel. They were either wrong when anti-mask or wrong when pro-mask, but somehow conveyed absolute confidence in both cases. This is very harmful for the public discourse and for the reputation of the authorities during a time when reputation was paramount.

Another take: whoever wrote is writing from a position of privilege.

"A humanities major at an Ivy League college opens up higher-earning opportunities later in life, like when you take over the reins of the family corporation."

It's also simply an outdated view. The strategy of going into humanities and finding higher earning later in life probably worked quite a bit better in 1972 than 2022.

Simply going to university was a sign of privilege half a century ago, and so you wouldn't discuss the associated prospects without assuming privilege.

Those not privileged who got into that environment would have been lifted in status by the contacts and the association with privilege.

Today, having a university degree is not an earmark of privilege, and you are less likely to make relationships at university which connect you with privilege. Depending on the school.
For me, what allowed this to happen is that NATO were slow walking Ukraine. This created the uneasy possibility that they could join but never really giving the signal that they can join. They asked for a Membership Action Plan in 2020. In 2022 they still weren't given one and got invaded because of NATO. It takes two to tango as they say and those two are Russia and NATO and the Ukrianan people are the ones who suffer the most.

While I agree with your sentiment. Whataboutism can always find a better target. What about tackling coal plants first? What about China reducing their emissions first? That line of reasoning will only achieve keeping the status quo in place.

Muir was a racist yes, but also he just really didn't like anyone. He was generally just a mercurial and unlikeable person. I read a biography of him, A Passion For Nature, a few years ago.

> dollar cost averaging is less preferable when you have a single lump sum

This is mathematically true. Psychologically less so, and that's because of loss aversion.

DCA helps you avoid the unfortunate case where the market tanks right after you've invested everything. In this situation, people can panic, pull out at considerable loss, etc.

As a retail investor, the most challenging part of investing is psychology, and DCA can help in that regard.
You're right, it cannot explain everything, there's a lot more cashback in the US for example, which has to come from the interchange. But the fraud rate doesn't tell us the full picture here, there are indirect costs in dealing with fraud, I'd be more curious about a figure that also estimates externalities.

Anyway the European report is very interesting because it shows that ATM and POS fraud is fairly marginal in Europe, which justifies pushing better SCA mechanisms as the most effective way to reduce fraud.
This one though? There was absolutely no reason for it.

Of course there was, Ukraine becoming a NATO member. Just read Putin's address [1] after the invasion started, it is spelled out in no uncertain terms. You may disagree whether this warrants are war but this does not change the fact that there is a reason and Russia consistently said so for decades.
