I think crypto pundit narratives are absolutely worth criticizing and making fun of

I can also observe that outside of crypto, speculation is a vast and fast-growing market, while other use cases are small in comparison.

Financial services is a big sector, servicing an even bigger pile of assets, led by an even bigger notional value of synthetic assets and derivatives.

and every other sector is smaller.

so the outcome in the crypto space not only fits one of the original narratives of crypto, it also makes no sense how uninterested, alongside disillusioned, people hold crypto to a separate impossible higher standard.

Beyond Meat, for example, has the goal of reducing the ecological impact of meat consumption. It's not for seasoned vegan vets. It's for nascent, plant-curious folk who just need a little push in the right direction.
I read about 80+ SFF novels a year. Today I read a graphical novel "Pilu of the Woods" (emotional and heartwarming like "My Neighbor Totoro" and "Inside Out", reviewed on my blog: https://learnbyexample.github.io/escapist-reviews/pilu-of-th...).

Tomorrow, I'm planning to visit a lake on the other end of the city again (should be flush with all the recent rain) and do some shopping on the way back.
This was the only line I really disagreed with. Pair programming, when done right and with two engaged participants, can be extremely rewarding and speeds up time to develop/review/test/etc.

Either you're both at the same level, and you can feed off each other, thinking through edge cases and bugs as you go. Or you could be at different levels, where one engineer is teaching, and the other is learning. It's really a win-win in my opinion.
Irrelevant. You can get a full amino acid profile by combining plant based sources. It is basic high school biology that there’s less energy available the higher up on the food pyramid you go.

Farming Lions for meat would be less economical than farming cows. Farming cows is less economical than farming wheat.

I spend everyday “programming” doing the same type of work I did before joining - mostly back end APIs, ETL, occasional front end work if I have to etc.

I just knew I wouldn’t enjoy being a small part of a large team coming from small companies where I could work up and down the life cycle from pre-sales, to requirement gathering, to implementation, to DevOps [sic], UAT and training.

I’m still part of a huge organization in the grand scheme of things. But my projects range from me the sole tech person doing everything to my working with a team where I lead or implement one “work stream” depending on the size of the project.

The answer to environmental problems can't be leaving quality of life on the table. If you leave a vacuum other people are gonna fill that vacuum . India and China would consider a huge success a scenario in which climate gets worse but there is a reversal in the quality of life metrics: that is Europe and US becoming second world and them taking the spot of first world.

A comment such as yours can only be produced by an overtly concerned American or European who is not aware that if you stop fighting for quality of life it's gonna be taken away from you. Then you'll have the worst of both worlds: Low quality of life and climate change still unsolved.

It is a huge dichotomy to fight for freedom in Ukraine and then lose the fight for quality of life at home, all because John Kerry and Al Gore tell you to stop being a proud American. These are the same people that don't believe in American exceptionalism and want to destroy NATO so that the West is vulnerable to attacks from India, Russia and China.

Whether it's worth to look around, instead of looking at an iPhone, may depend on the city.

What work can be done remotely but not from a rented apartment in a LCOL area?
A modern car has >100 ECUs, blink is distributed to a few ECUs, think: front body, rear body, left door, right door plus instrument cluster and maybe a trailer control ECU. It does not look premium if they do not blink in phase so you send CAN command for blinking. (A separate cable introduce cost, weight and faults due to corrosion that are tricky to diagnose, in total you want to avoid that.)
If something disturb CAN or an ECU reboots you would get the described behavior. But it is not obvious (at least not to me) that it must be a software error - could easily be hardware designed with too small margins.

That's not true at all.

Even at 500-700 yards, wind holds can be significant (as in off target). That changes second by second. I can tell you that even as a decent shooter with a better spotter, when the spotter makes a wind call, the slight 1-2 second delay before I can actually press off the shot can be enough where I need to change the hold slightly from what he said to make a good hit.

Over this distance, there will undoubtedly be some fishtail winds and dead spots that are changing on a per second basis. In this case, I'd expect you have a team of spotters reading the mirage at several distances to target, and one lead spotter that is integrating those into the wind call for the shooter.

There's also some new tech that's aimed at this problem actually where instead of getting a wind read at one distance, it measures the wind over the entire distance and gives you a hold based on that. Very fancy stuff, they may have used that in this case.

You can do both at the same time. If Impossible could actually succeed in making a meat alternative that tastes as good as meat, but is cheaper (e.g. because they don't have to waste a bunch of energy growing an entire animal), then they could be poised both make a ton of money (by being a major player in the global food market) AND help end factory farming/animal consumption (by providing a superior product).

Furthermore, this is such a research heavy endeavor, you need upfront capital to fund it, which means it would be hard to structure as a non profit. Structuring as a for profit is the right move, and it doesn't mean what they're working towards isn't a good cause, or that they are somehow ethically compromised.

> I really wonder what the fixation is on beef patties, when there are other types of much more easily replaceable meat.

The negative environmental impact of beef is much greater than other meats so the potential positive impact is much greater moving food production away from beef.

There is a social expectation of reachability. I get texts from friends trying to make plans for <2 hours in the future. My wife asks me to pick up things at the store, or do something for her in the house.

You can turn your phone off or leave it behind, but you are opting out of modern society. My father in law still doesn’t have a phone, and it drives his wife crazy.

For kids? Parents of older children use “taking the phone away” as the ultimate punishment. As I understand it, being a teen without a phone is basically being a pariah.

I can turn my phone off, but I can’t make the rest of the world do it too. Which leads to the scenario described in the article. You can’t amble around and meet people; they’re already busy.

I made none of those points so I’m not sure where this is all coming from. I understand you want to take your arguments with others and bring them to me but that’s not at all what I’m saying. It seems you are making assumptions that I have these assumptions.
This wasn't mentioned in the article but IMO belongs as the last section of the timeline -- To (one of) the points made in https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32959397, the latest wave of Javascript frameworks wants to answer: how can we build apps like Linear or Figma in the browser? https://replicache.dev/ is the most direct example of this, and https://cord.com/ is an example of a service to add multiplayer elements in a non-framework way without rewriting the way your app works. Also know of one that still hasn't launched yet.

IMO this newest wave is creating frameworks that have existed in the mobile app world for a while and are now showing up for productivity-oriented web apps.
I'd likely to have to do more research before I'm confident to address everything you've said. However, I have issues with the way things are categorized because meat production is more than just livestock. It uses a lot of energy and transportation both of which are huge categories on your source. I spoke to a climate scientist I'm friends with a while back and it's my memory of the conversation that gave me the anecdote above. I'll have to do more research before weighing in any further than that.

I'm surprised at all the positive things being said about AIX in this thread. I thought it was pretty terrible (my priors were SunOS, Solaris, HP/UX, IRIX, Linux, BSD). Personally, I preferred any of the above over AIX.

AIX configuration was opaque with a windows registry style setup.

All the standard utilities like sed, awk, etc., were versions from 1970. It was incredibly frustrating to use. They did supply some gnu software (IBM called it "linux" software), but it was managed through a second, separate, package manager, bare rpm.

Decade(s) after every other nix had snapshots, the way to get a consistent backup on AIX was to break your boot disk mirror and backup the orphaned disk (while praying you didn't have a disk failure).

Everything was spawned directly out of inittab. No sys-v/rc/etc. scripts.

A hard down could break the journal on their filesystem rather than having the filesystem journal save your data. An fsck would not fix the journal.

Most free software did not "just build and run" on AIX. Just about anything using autoconf required a custom wrapper around AIX's malloc to prevent it from segfaulting when being run, or fixing autoconf scripts to not mis-detect missing capabilities in AIX.

AIX was not a first tier system for many vendors. I had to spend time in a debugger providing info to our SAN vendor on issues with their agent for AIX (we never had issues with their software for Solaris, Linux, or Windows).

The hardware was funky. They did "neat" things like sharing a single CDROM drive between an entire rack of servers. But, to re-assign the CD drive, the IDE bus had to be re-assigned, as well as the PCI bus. And, invariably something would be blocking this, so "neat" in practice became a PITA.

On the positives, AIX was stable once everything was dialed in, just like any other NIX. It was also trivial to create a bootable DR restore ISO for a system. And, their debugger was pleasant to use when diagnosing core dumps.

"It used to be said that AIX looks like one space alien discovered Unix,
and described it to another different space alien who then implemented AIX.
But their universal translators were broken and they'd had to gesture a lot."

Efficiency of turning sunlight into calories? Absolutely agree. But that’s not the same as greenhouse gas emissions.
Aside from the well-known toxicity of potato stalks, leaves, and flowers, and of the tuber once it has been exposed to enough sunlight, even the edible tuber is usually poisonous enough to noticeably irritate your mouth and throat if you eat a mouthful or two raw. You have to cook it to make it edible.

There's a couple of orders of magnitude of errors in your comment: it's hundreds of millions, for centuries, or tens of millions, for millennia.

But potato has nothing on cassava, which has also been a staple for tens of millions for millennia. Looks like you're a Yank, like half the people on this godforsaken website, so you might only know it as "tapioca". In both cases, being poisonous discourages insects and other wildlife from expropriating your crops, and James C. Scott famously argues that being underground makes it more difficult for a certain kind of human pest to expropriate them as well.

So the humans deliberately eat roots because they are full of cyanide. Truly they are space orcs.
So this is the (current) opening paragraph for my book:

############

There is a common refrain in large companies, almost a badge of
honour.::

"I used to write software, but then I became a manager and
stopped. But I am still technical."

How many of these managers used to read and write English (or Spanish
or Japanese) , and how many, once they became managers, stopped? But
are still literate?

It is no longer possible to manage a company without reading and
writing English (or Spanish or Japanese) But it is possible to do so
without reading or writing code.

This book believes that it will soon be just as impossible to run a
company without reading (and writing) code as it currently is to do
so without English (or Spanish or Japanese).

All companies will be use software to gain what advantages in what
military term "tempo of decision making contests"

This I call software literacy.

#############

The reason we old farts are upset is that there is an artificial divide between coding and the resource allocation and co-ordination of "management".

We need to focus on closing that gap - then coding is how we express most functions of "management".

I'd guess there's no motivation for an Itanium emulator, because there's no exciting application or system that was exclusively for Itanium.

MAME emulates a host of odd things because fun games run on those odd things and people would like to play those without having the hardware. You can run AIX on lots of hardware, so running it on emulated Itanium wouldn't be very fun.
Explained here with Go code:

Wikipedia gives an impractical, inefficient account of the algorithm. It's almost comically bad.

But the BWT has an efficient inverse transform with very short, simple code, as seen above. This is the classic linked list algorithm.

The forward transform is also simple if done right. See the Go code here:

https://bugfix-66.com/72949624ebbb28b3d0ce5d700970a8857d354b...

Together, that's full code for industrial-strength forward and inverse BWT. All that's missing is some method of avoiding degeneracy in the forward transform string sort (e.g., noising long runs in the input or a suffix array).

what do you mean unregulated desoxyn? Desoxyn is a brand name. Are you talking about street meth? If yes, then 1. those are usually cut and much weaker so dosage needs to be higher, however 2. You can at least do a quick acetone wash it to remove a lot of impurities which will also make it stronger per mg and both be less cut and closer dosage-wise.

> by many accounts wasn’t any better environmentally

This is false according to every serious analysis I've seen.

For example:

> The most popular plant-based alternatives, Beyond [Meat] and Impossible Burgers, produce about 90 percent fewer greenhouse gas emissions in comparison with beef [..] They reduce land use by at least 93 percent and water use by 87 percent to 99 percent. They also generate no manure pollution.

I think the fact that they are not healthier (by fat or calorie content, I forget which) is a major deterrent.

I think another minor item that's overlooked is that there are a number of people trying to avoid "processed" foods, and there's few foods on the planet more processed than artificial meat.

People interested in their health and this line of thinking will take beef from a local butcher over shrink-wrapped frozen frankenfood that is pretending to be beef.

I'm not much of a meat-eater. I probably eat meat maybe three or four times a month. But when I do, I get something from the farmer down the street who is happy to show me her cows, pigs, and chickens, and not something from a cardboard box that came from an industrial factory.
Although I think much of this is technically true, I think this is wrong way to "sell" Rust to C programmers. A far better approach is to say "Rust is a completely different paradigm that you may have to learn," because when you start to use closures, iterators, etc., it definitely is. It's not C. It's OCaml is C's clothing. It will allow you to beat it into submission, but if you have to beat it there is probably a better way.

There is this belief "I know C so I know what's fast here", and, while that's sometimes true, I think it's wrong often enough re: Rust to try doing things a different way at a relatively high level. I think when you're starting off with Rust your goal should be to implement virtually everything in the dumbest/most obvious/Python-ic way possible, and then to experiment with optimization/rewrites. And while you should try the thing "You know to be fast because you know C" you should also spend that time reading how the std lib implemented a feature and leaning on the std lib, benchmarking as you go. One reason is because the paradigm is obviously different. Another is because the std lib has lots of features for common uses which are optimized very carefully, which C just doesn't have, and one shouldn't ignore/forget that.
