Your points do not dispute doomberg's argument. The reality is that EU wood pellet consumption has been increasing. Germany and France are leading the growth. It is generally accepted that wood burning produces more co2 than coal and natural gas. We have cleaner alternatives. Corruption and poor decision making is hurting progress.

> In 1956, the literary critic Edmund Wilson wrote a review entitled "Oo, Those Awful Orcs!", calling Tolkien's work "juvenile trash", and saying "Dr. Tolkien has little skill at narrative and no instinct for literary form."

I would love to dismantle this criticism piece by piece, but others would no doubt be delighted to do that in my stead. I'm just going to say that the year is 2022 and absolutely no one remembers who the fuck Edmund Wilson was, while Tolkien is one of the best-selling authors of all time and his books sell millions of copies every month even half a century after his death. For a man with supposedly no skill at narrative, hundreds of millions of people have thoroughly enjoyed his narrative. How many movies have been made based on Wilson's books? That's right...

I just released the third version on Steam EA, doing a stealth release for my own sanity. (https://store.steampowered.com/app/914930/Alcyon_Infinity/)

Payed for the graphical assets 10 years ago, made a soundtrack and most of a game, then got a reality check and moved out to contract work for a year on a polished turd game under a crazy Youtuber (Fuzecat).

Came back, worked on a second version and composed a soundtrack again. A month before we would have had a nice version to show to publishers got ghosted by the artist, got a reality check and went to contract work for a medium studio in Paris, worked on 2 pretty good games (WRC8, TT:2) that were good only through the sweat and tears of people on the ground. Returned home afterwards, half the people I knew there changed job.

Came back right for Covid years, worked freelance debugging and adding features (Neurodeck), then started again on my project...

Why?

Because sometimes there are things you have to do I guess :p
I took only what worked from previous iterations, and cut as much things as I could.

The end product isn't what I started with anymore, but at least I got to the point that I could make it "Real", it has an options menu, and you can remap all inputs and there's and "End" and so forth.

I made at least 5 different prototypes within those 3 iterations of the same 2D Space Pew-Pew game:
- open world scriptable missions and universe
- fully scriptable universe for a Star Wars mod
- Survival action
- Pokemon Style
- Roguelike
- Bullet Hell (current one)

Only one has everything that makes it a full contained and shareable experience that I can play if I want 10 years from now :p

The 0x era started around two decades ago, a few years after the release of C++98, and arguably ended over a decade ago with the release of C++11. This isn't something new.

I don't see any misery. If anything, what I see is projects bounded to old C++ versions due to real-world constraints.

Matplotlib is definitely a monolith, and it does seem like a huge fight to fix the style, but what is great is you can easily use some of its several predefined styles [0], define your own style sheets or customize specific style parameters through rcParams [1], or install third-party style sheets [2], so in the end the styling does seem much more manageable.

> I guess you can't just "wish" things into existence... systems programming has always been (mostly white/asian) male-dominated and Rust can't change that by itself.

The FLOSS community, by and large, is also known to be a lot less diverse than the tech industry as a whole. I'm pretty sure that both are significant factors. OTOH, it's quite likely that Rust is already doing better than the C/C++ community on these metrics, which is perhaps the more meaningful comparison.
> It would create roughly no people who had a low-friction migration path from TypeScript to Rust, which is diametrically opposed to having a menacing mob at ones disposal.

Having a low-friction migration path from TypeScript also enables more programmers to write reliable, efficient software. I hope that the number of programmers quietly doing this will grow to eclipse the number posting to forums. We must not get so caught up in forum drama that we forget that increasing the quantity of good software in the world is what's most important.

> 512 instructions seems quite possible for that - compare to 'boot sector games' which run in about one third of the space.

Except a (boot) sector is 512 bytes (assuming x86)? Technically 510 because of the two bytes to indicate that it’s bootable, but that’s quite a bit more than 1/3 of 512.

Not competitive how? The only card to consistently outperform the 5500 was the GeForce 2 GTS[1], which was a half generation ahead. 3DFX fans would also argue that T-Buffering and other unique technologies made the image quality better.

What killed 3DFX was a combination of no AIB boards to push the architecture past reference; their Sega deal falling through and the delay (and eventual cancellation) of the 6000 as a competitor to the GeForce 2 and Radeon 7000 series’ (later tests of engineering samples showed it outperformed both). The latter being a direct result of the two former problems.

Wonder why.
this is the reality here - dozens of wood fires for small groups of people with zero filtering; so easy and common, difficult to see the cumulative effects. I believe open fires have been completely banned in my area due to simple excess by a small number of careless actors.

Some vanity plate systems will let you get one of them (either CODF1SH or C0DFISH say) but once you get one nobody can get the other.
tests mostly work for technical code, it would be harder to pick up gameplay stuff.

Though that's why open betas exist I suppose, but for most studios that want to keep things under wraps, paying a lot of testers is extremely costly (and thus buggy releases).

After losing power in southeast Michigan for 3 days, a couple of weeks ago, I began wondering about low-power cooling. Something like a couple of solar panels, a battery of some kind, then a fan for an evaporator "swamp cooler" or something similar. I'd like to be able to cool a single room occupied by 2 adult humans and a couple of 75lb dogs.

How much power do those mini refrigeration compressors draw?
This sounds like the sort of giddy overfocusing we do when we project a certain lifestyle (usually one we already live, ourself) as a cure-all onto everything else including people we know nothing about.

I remember being jacked at 20 years old, eating spinach and egg whites at the university cafeteria, looking somberly around at everyone—who I'm sure didn't do 100 air-squats each day—while they devoured fried chicken strips. I felt bad for them. How many ailments could we fix if everyone did 20 push-ups when they woke up in the morning and then snorted a cup of oatmeal? Real cocksure of myself, I'd shrug and think what a shame.

What I'm trying to say is, did OP's wife try doing pull-ups while eating paleo?
All static analysis is performed without executing the program. That's the definition. Whether an analyzer is runs before codegen or after is not an incredibly meaningful distinction since both can be integrated for developer environments in precisely the same way.
Few Adobe apps? Working in the video/media creation space, here is the current status of the apps that I use:

Photoshop - slow. New desirable features (for the artists using it) come once every 2/3 years. Now tries to cloud save even when you don’t want it to.

Competitors: Affinity Photo

Outlook: many if not most photo only users I know of have moved on from Adobe products. Seems to be mostly used in the photo retouching and editing industry.

Adobe Premiere - slow. Unusable for anything longer than 10-30 minutes in length. Anything longer is by rule done in AVID instead. Extremely prone to crashes. Buggy. Some tools have decreased in quality (ie type tool). Overall customer satisfaction is from my experience low. Live Link, the ability to have a linked media between Premiere and After Effects, is so unreliable that I would only expect its use by first year video editors. Anything beyond that I would question that individuals intelligence.

Competitors: Final Cut X, Davinci Resolve, AVID

Outlook: Although Avid dominates in long form, Premiere should remain in place for shorter material - music videos, advertising and corporate video. Resolve is getting better but UI is heavily opinionated which turns some people off. Final Cut was given up on by the industry (unfairly in my view) due to botched launch. FCPX is however in my view a far superior product.

Adobe After Effects: incredibly slow. Similar to photoshop has a low cadence of desirable features - particularly for one of the core user bases - 2D Motion designers - for whom features requested 10 years ago are still not coming. Adobe relies on plugin makers extending its functionality and making it useful.

Competitors: NUKE and Cavalry

Outlook: NUKE, once considered the slowest renderer on the planet, is now faster than after effects since they’ve slowly converted the tools to GPU.

Cavalry is still a young software. UI/UX is so radically different from After effects however it’s hard to see people make the switch.

The link with Illustrator is what keeps after effects unassailable. For now.

Adobe general outlook: in the creative communities im a part of, Adobe is widely regarded as a useless leeching company that’s locked away decades of solid software development (done in the distant past) behind a subscription wall. In the last 10 years they have failed to innovate in any significant aspect. Actually important updates that help folks get work done are a really rare occurrence. Overall the general view of Adobe products is that they are bad and getting worse. There’s constant talk about alternatives and how to avoid Adobe products in the pipeline if possible.
In CS, that is more generally called scheduling or pipelining. And they’re forms of queuing theory and capacity resource management. For me, multitasking is the introduction of prioritization into the task queue management. In the above post, there’s a Finish-to-Finish prioritization introduced. We want hot burgers and nachos to complete at the same time or nearly the same time. So, yeah, I’d call that multitasking.

Yeah, certainly not what we once thought of as conservative judicial restraint.

One comment I remember reading on Twitter which makes sense: "Funny how what the 1st Amendment means seems to align perfectly with currently fashionable conservative (MAGA) social views."
So (darkly) funny story: when I was like one of eight people with a pager (so to speak) on Instagram’s total stories served per minute/hour/whatever: there were a few of us losers who missed that the servers were more than a little stressed on a Tuesday, and it took especially long to find out because everyone else was doing one of the most important things they’d do all year: it was Valentine’s Day, of course there were a lot more posts than usual.

Now we were all making 2 million dollars a year on the low end, so we were certainly compensated, but even then, nothing to brag about.

The court and statute in question specifically mention that censorship can happen for a variety of legal reason.

This ruling only denies the right to censor based on viewpoint, something which I believe Starbucks is also bound by. You can throw a customer out for being obnoxious and threatening. But probably not for sitting at a table and calmly discussing the pros and cons of various abortion laws, sharing opinions Starbucks disagree with.

For a language that is actually "easy to learn and use", look at Lua[1].

It's so easy to learn & use that children manage to be productive with it (the Roblox community).

It's still powerful though. With few enough primitives to remain simple & understandable, it has just enough primitives to build anything. People have written web frameworks, window managers and video games in Lua.

It's got less pitfalls, "voodoo magic" and advanced weirdness than any other language I know. You can learn 90% of the language from its Wikipedia page. Every time I encounter some of Python's internal weirdness, I wish Lua had been the scripting language of the 2000s instead. Unfortunately Python has a vast collection of libraries available that keep us using it instead.

I don't understand what the purpose of your comment is in relation to my post.
"Expected" - is the keyword here. No one should (and I belive will) agree for any kind of "geo-climate-engineering experiments" unless our science is actually capable of predicting/simulating exactly what's going to happen. Said understanding of the climate and ability can be proven by let's say consistently successful weather forecasts for 14 days in advance. Then we can talk.

Until then, even seriously considering it is stupidity of the worst kind exemplified by results of smaller attempts to "engineer" things we don't understand fully such as destruction of the Aral Sea and its ecosystem and many others.

"But, but, we _already_ "engineer" our climate by releasing large amounts of greenhouse gases!" say proponents of such ideas. To which I say, those things cannot be compared. During the earth's history there were many significant releases of co2 and methane we can study (from mega volcanoes, to asteroid impacts caused planet wide forest fires). There were times when the earth's atmosphere had 10 times the co2 it has now and it didn't cause a Venus-like runaway greenhouse effect some people are so keen on presenting as an almost certain scenario. The planet managed to reabsorb it.

We can mitigate many effects of climate change that manifests itself as few degrees of warming (including all the more intense weather events) much better than let's say a significant drop in temperature for a decade.

In 50 years we will think about such climate-engineering ideas the same we now think about ideas from 1950s to use nuclear explosions for building canals, and other "soil moving" ideas. Insanity.

Also had a bad experience with managing fonts on Linux because of its web-based architecture. All in all using Sketch as a single user was a smooth and straightforward experience, wehreas using Figma was an extremely frustrating one.
I'm pessimistic about Adobe being able to make it any better.
I like the BEAM and philosophy of Elixir, but there's just...no static typing. As someone coming from TypeScript and Rust, this makes it a very hard sell when I can write web servers with either language just fine and have the compiler catch the many errors I've made. I suppose there is Gleam but the more esoteric the language (or technology in general), the harder it is to debug, so I don't want to be stuck with that kind of situation for a production environment.
Same - whenever I get a Figma link I open a whole new browser because within a few minutes I know it's going to crash and I have a limited time to veeerry slooowly try to extract the information I need. This is on multiple machines, i7, 32gb RAM, good enough GPU to run modern games.

Facebook also does aggressively fuzzy searching. I was in the market for a sailboat last year, and knew pretty specifically what I wanted. Facebook would always be about 50% what my specific search term was, and then 50% barely related bullshit (wrong brand / size, sailing accessories, powerboats)

I've also found Facebook exceptionally flaky from both the seller and buyer side. I don't usually expect responses on half the stuff I'm interested in on Facebook, and it's almost impossible to even give stuff away with the flakiness of people actually showing up to pick it up.

Yeah, that's called being fragile, and the sort of people you will empower if you push for that as policy are those who are more than happy to control the flow of information to their own ends / enrichment.
The original blog post from Cloudflare [1] is titled "How we built Pingora, the proxy that connects Cloudflare to the Internet". The linked Phoronix article decided to use an overly hyped and editorialized title.

Having "written in Rust" needlessly slapped on to HN, reddit, and other content farm post titles doesn't make me feel like I'm being forced to learn it. It gives the Rust community more of a MLM vibe with the need of the hype crew to talk it up to validate their decision to use it and they're trying to sell me something.
