> Green tech requires massive amounts of dirty energy to produce.

This may be true for certain products, but it's not broadly true. There's nothing intrinsic that requires solar panels, lithium ion batteries, or wind turbines to be manufactured using dirty energy.
This, I believe, touches upon the accidental versus essential complexity theme.

I believe people, in general, agree C is too simple of a programming language to actually deal with all the essential complexity of modern software development in various cases.

The actual complaint people have about C++ is that it has too much extra unnecessary accidental complexity due to weird ways features interact.

The analogy of the Surgeon I believe should be adjusted having these two points in mind. Generally speaking, surgeons would agree that "scalpel and whiskey" are too simple of a tool set for doing modern surgery. However, if you take modern surgeon tools and add a bunch of weirdness to them, then surgeons would reject them on the grounds of being more complicated than needed.

> A bad surgeon could also be overwhelmed by the amount of modern tools and use the wrong one.

When this is contrasted with the C++ situation, I believe the comparison would be fair only if all the modern features in C++ had to do with the inherent essential complexity of software development. That is not the case (at all). Expert developers have been talking about how C++ is unnecessarily complicated for ages (before C++03 even; back when things were simpler in terms of weird language feature interactions).

Git internally doesn’t deal in diffs - the conceptual objects are blobs, trees and commits. A tree is like a directory structure of blobs (basically whole files) and commits link trees in a graph. It’s a graph of filesystem like trees basically - not changesets. Very conceptually simple - hence the stupid “git” content tracker.

Git has a pack file format that stores deltas but that is just for space saving.
In California it might but I was thinking more in generalities of all the other startups we have had when Uber came to be.

For example, GigWalk.
> This seems to be just a syntax frontend for C++. The underlying semantics stay the same.

That is very much not true. In fact the syntax simplification is of less interest to me than the clarification/simplification of semantics. Most of the dangerous / confusing parts of c++ come from the necessary c compatibility.

So for example, you don’t have to worry about the bug-inducing C integer promotion rules.

> I think if we're privileged enough to be having this conversation at all, it's probably tough for either of us to really put ourselves in the shoes of the folks asked to be subjects of these videos

Eh, my parents hated each other, and subsequently took a great deal of it out on their kids - both emotionally and physically. Then my father died when I was 14. Within months my mom ended up dating, then married to a felon who had stole from his own pharmacy losing his license... Mom blamed me for her cancer... blah blah blah. I'm enough of a shit-show that I could potentially be content for that channel for trauma.

> I think almost any kind of media or art which makes many people more aware of what life is like for the 'underbelly' of society is probably still a good thing overall.

I share that anecdote because it backs up what you're saying about the value of the content... I've listened to stuff on there that's more the general mental health/generational trauma related stuff and have found it valuable. It helps me feel less isolated hearing people share stories that I can relate to.

I just feel like there's a weird line with addiction and poverty where there's potential conflict of interest - many of the folks who share their story on that channel aren't desperate by any means... I'm just conflicted over those who are =/
I think people don't realize that the reason many batteries today aren't removable is because they've been hyperoptomized to have maximum storage capacity and a removal would require significant hardware modifications.

With removable batteries also generally comes reduced battery size. Pick one.
On the one hand, the ability to usefully interact with the stock market is very limited for the majority of people, as they do not have the extra income to invest. It's very much a system in which the lower class do not get to meaningfully benefit from most the time.

On the other hand, the companies will be made of people, expand by hiring new people, and pay these people with those profits, so much of the money will make it to people.

Companies making lots of money is not a problem. Companies saving vast amounts of it in war chests is, IMO (depending on how they save it), as it's effectively removing it from the economy. I really hope Apple and Google's massive saving are stored by being reinvested in some way and aren't just entirely removed from the economy, because that would be a shame. I suppose even if they were just stored in a bank that would be used as capital for loans, so maybe it's not that bad.
That's what it seems like they're saying. At some point it's likely they will be indistinguishable from us on many levels, including emotions. There's a demand for it and a solution/peoduct will eventually be created to address that demand, once the means of doing so are technically and financially feasible/scalable.

Currently, yes, there's an innate difference, but it's only fictitious that there won't be a difference until it's not. It's plausible speculation. Writing it off as fictitious as of now feels like an "ostrich in the sand" means of molding around a static perception of reality.

Things will change, we're not special, labor as we know it will be replaced, machines will at some point acquire the same abilities as us, and we'll have to strive to figure out as a whole if we need to change the means required to carry on and/or individually adapt/overcome such sea changes in labor/income.

It will probably cause many issues within our societies, but many will also see opportunities. It's going to be a lot of grey, likely more so than now.
Nobody is talking about anybody losing any rights. To paraphase Anatole France: the law, in its majestic equality, permits the rich as well as the poor to express and petition as private individuals.

My "complaint" is about civic integrity and transparency: you are (presumably) a member of the same society as me, so you should have an intuitive (and civically gained) understanding that sunlight is the best disinfectant. Our country is better off when those who engage in our political processes, especially disproportionately, cannot hide behind corporate structures.
Full time drivers are taken advantage of because full time drivers are not really free contrators: they can drive only for Uber and nothing else. Before UBer, these people had full time jobs as limo drivers, personal drivers, or something like that.

Of course, there are also people who have other jobs (firefighters, nurses, teachers, etc), students, between jobs and they love it. And regulations like this will hurt them.

I hope my argument make sense.

Be gentler with yourself; you are a human being, not a robot.

You don't have a responsibility optimize every last bit of every day. All this does over time is run you ragged and complete the recipe for burnout. Identify things and values that are most important to you and dive in.

Give yourself permission to reflect and acknowledge that being too busy all the time takes a toll, and as your daily cup of energy gets drained you need to recharge and refill it with leisure or other beneficial activities.

This is part of the secret sauce to succeeding in being your best self and ensuring you have that capacity available for the most important times when delivering your top performance is critical.

Personally, I've come to the realization that human relationships and connections in my life matter far beyond anything else.

This is an interesting take actually.. If we can assume that younger generations spend more time communicating electronically via some form of text messaging, at least the majority so, are you saying that that just becomes the "default" form of communication naturally?

Where are older generations would have spend far more time communicating verbally..

That makes some sense to me anyway. Would be super interesting to see some further studies done. And to philosophise the results that could mean.

> Do note that a tree that dies in forest also produces CO2. Exactly the amount it does if it’s burned (unless it’s a peat bog or whatnot). So not burning it doesn’t really change things.

Growing trees require more than just CO2, and I imagine there are limits to how much this process can be accelerated without environmental impact. Depending on the tree sort and location they may naturally live for long enough to be considered immortal for all practical purposes, so felling the tree after only 10 years presents a very significant increase in tree turnover, and as the tree is taken away it does not fertilize the soil again, so there's a significant increase in soil nutrient and water requirements in the area.

Plus, the felling operation, timber processing and pellet production require large amounts of energy. There is a significant environmental load even if the pellets are never burnt to release the stored CO2.

So yes, it changes things a whole lot.

Even if a game sends crash reports etc., it could be safe enough. Making a secure connection to a known remote server isn't a major source of exploits. (Look for example at the list of exploits against Firefox and Chrome - stuff like that isn't even noticeable.)

I disagree every language needs to start with the same defaults as Rust. Rust proved its approach is a useful one, and Rust is a huge asset to our industry, but we also benefit from exploring other approaches.
It support the big 3 (gcc, clang, ms)
> Transpiling to C++ means it will work wherever C++ works.

This approach is similar to Rust's editions. IIUC, nearly all of the differences been editions are compartmentalized in the frontend, deprecating syntax and rewriting old edition code to rustc's current IR.
I don’t mean that some secret committee got together to “set up” all of the social incentives of the entire school system, university system, textbook industry, scientific publication system, engineering fields, etc.

What I mean is that there are incentives for the people involved in those systems which are extremely difficult to reform, and as long as the current incentives prevail it is all but impossible for anyone to refactor things like basic mathematical notions and notations.

Switching and retraining costs are high, gaps in inter-operability are expensive, and there is almost nobody who will achieve any career advancement through promoting changes to the high school and early undergraduate curriculum.

Mathematicians are generally most interested in pushing on the shiny boundaries of the field rather than trying to clean up the centuries-old material for novices. Teachers have their hands full enough with their students to do much new research in pedagogy. Practitioners in industry have their own problems to solve.
I mean you could literally go and just consult Maslow's pyramid and ensure the needs are somewhat sufficiently met in this order:

1. Physological needs: warmth, water, food, rest, toilets, hygiene, accessability, shelter

2. Safety needs: security, safety (both in the practical and the psychological sense)

3. Belongingness & Love needs: while this is something we cannot control, making space and time for actual contact between people might be a good idea. Can be combined with the things in point 1

4. Esteem needs: Feeling of accomplishment (the actual content of the event needs to give the audience something new and valuable)

5. Self-actualization: Again something we cannot easily control, but there might be ways of having the attendees actually do something themselves in a creative and/or productive sense. But my guess would be that if you rocked the first 4 points, this one is a nice extra.

Too many events focus mostly on point 4 and forget the importance of the first 3.
Many of the people here are becoming sociopathic in their desire to control the world around them through technology and have completely lost empathy for the average person who is a victim of these industries. The gig economy is clearly arbitraging labor in a manner most would consider somewhere between exploitative and unfair. And the broader economy puts pressures on them to exist in that.

As inequality mostly driven by technology grows more and more people will be required to accept less and less fair employment so the gig economy is essentially betting on a worse tomorrow. I dont like that, i dont support it, and if the ceos of these companies are your neighbors like they are mine — you see how completely nihilistic they are about this. They know it, they don’t care. But they pretend a story that this is a better world for you, the naive tech worker.
You are. George Soros co-founded (with two other founders) one of the lead author's three employers 13 years ago. He does not hold any present position in the organization.

One thing I've not seen a decent discussion of is what industries benefit from enormous amounts of almost free electricity? Other than the manufacturers of wind, solar, etc systems, how does this effect the economy?

Obviously that effect is going to be significant, but what exactly does it look like?
It's unclear if the jobs were cut by Meta, or the contracting company had their contract value reduced because most offices in Bay Area are working at a reduced capacity. It's likely that the contracting company fired these people.
For a class of problems, there's basically two options of language to use that would fit the requirements, C++ and Rust. While Rust is promising and getting some traction, saying that it's the clear winner in all aspects would be a stretch. So therefore there's a lot of people who end up with your first statement. And given the kinds of problem where it's the best tool, a lot of those would end up actually interested in the second statement. However, of course most people wouldn't have the opportunity to do so. We're lucky that there are people that end up with all three like Herb Sutter, IMO, or we'd be stuck with 98 semantics... (I guess it would have helped Rust getting popular faster though...)
It doesn't follow from your second point that Uber is non-exploitative. US law recognizes limits to the right to contract (e.g., one cannot agree to sell one's labor for less than minimum wage[0]), so the fact that some have chosen to work for Uber doesn't in and of itself demonstrate that Uber's employment terms are legal.

If you say "we are going to restrict ourselves [at the Government's insistence] to only moderating non-political speech" then someone will insist that some part of your non-political speech is actually political. And from some perspective they will be right.

Then you get to negotiate with the government and the courts about what they consider to be political speech or not. And suddenly you no longer live in a country that has a meaningful First Amendment.
Because they are the state that implemented the law while at the same time is actually censoring information. A direct violation of the first amendment. A public library is a public space and the state government is an authority that can impose punishments.

The hypocrisy is insane

In someone lands here seeking a maintained compiler for Python, there's a lot, on top of my head:

- Pythran (https://pythran.readthedocs.io) (ahead of time compiler)
- mypyc (https://mypyc.readthedocs.io/en/latest/) (ahead of time compiler)
- cython (ahead of time compiler)
- Numba (JIT)
- Pypy (An interpreter doing JIT compiling)
- Nuitka (Ahead of time, IIRC)

At this point we should build a "Awesome Python Compilers" repo ... oh wait, it obviously already exists: https://github.com/pfalcon/awesome-python-compilers

My wife’s immigrant great grandfather felt compelled to change his last name to avoid prejudice against the Irish within the same time period, so I’d say it’s completely likely.
