> Engineering work halted 30+ years ago. There has been no recent work on structural materials that could withstand the neutron bombardment

We've made massive strides compacting designs, thereby transforming their unit-economic envelope, using low-temperature superconducting magnets. Those magnets continue to improve, driving potential gains in designs faster than experiments can be funded and built. Optimizing for structural materials, or even blanket versus replaceable structure, seems premature when we don't know the parameters or even type of bombardment we'd be working with.

> We need local desktops with a decent distributed filesystem, and vendor agnostic access to that filesystem from all our devices.

I am very happy with pCloud. One of the reasons I got it is: it works very well on Linux. It works on Android. It works on Windows.

And it works in the browser, for things like video and photos.

Also: no risk of trigger-happy account deletion like with Google, if pCloud dies my email still works.

Previously I used OVH online drive service, but it was EOL and pCloud is the replacement.
> drugs just got in the way of the music

You're talking about rock music and the Dead. Drugs were the catalyst, an essential aspect of the musical experience for many of the performancers and the audience. But you're totally right, drugs were the solvent too, dissolving focus, talent, and brilliance to fade away. It's a risk and (sometimes fatal) attraction, I think largely due to the lack of cultural knowledge for responsible and sustainable recreational drug use.
Hey there, from where I am standing it seems that you are looking for a fight online. I recommend trying to find a more productive way to spend that energy.

I have done it in the past and what I learned is that it can give a temporary boost of endorphins, but it's very short-lived and it doesn't really help anyone in the long term, including yourself.
This is a classic example of a Motte-and-Bailey argument.

Everyone knows what "genocide" means. It means an attempt to murder an entire group of people. That's why the word ends in "-cide," like "homicide," "suicide," "regicide," "fratricide" and other words that have to do with killing. When you say that Russia is committing genocide, everyone thinks you're saying that Russia is attempting to kill every single person in Ukraine. That's what the word means in the English language, as understood by the gobal community of native speakers.

The people using the word "genocide" are doing so precisely because the word has such a strong connotation. They want people to make the connection to the Holocaust, Rwanda, and other cases of mass murder of an entire people. However, that comparison is obviously absurd, because Russia isn't trying to wipe out the Ukrainian population.

So when pressed, defenders of the use of the term "genocide" retreat to a much narrower argument. They argue that according to a particular reading of the Genocide Convention, Russian actions fall into some technical definition of "genocide" - a definition that has absolutely nothing to do with how normal people understand the term. Now, that reading of the Genocide Convention is an enormous stretch, but people who want to use the word "genocide" fall back to it.

But of course, nobody is interested in a highly tendentious, dubious reading of the Genocide Convention. People are interested in whether Russia is committing "genocide" as the word is actually understood by real people.

I'll also add that even going by the Genocide Convention, the claim that Russia is committing genocide is still absurd. I don't want to get into it in detail, because it's a technical argument that's unrelated to what people actually care about. However, I'll just point out that the Ukrainian government is claiming that literally every Ukrainian child in Russia is abducted. Anyone who knows anything about Ukraine and Russia knows how absurd that claim is. There are very tight familial connections between Russians and Ukrainians (they were part of the same country for most of the last 400 years, after all). Because of that, Russia is the #1 destination for Ukrainian refugees. A lot of people escaping the violence have gone to live with family in Russia. Using that to accuse Russia of genocide is a really bold rhetorical gambit.
> Twitter really has one rule for some individuals and another rule for many. There is no justification for any of this from the big tech appeasers.

Huh? Twitter has explicitly justified differential treatment for different kinds of users -- particularly in the name of public interest. Their rules and policies site has a page titled, "About public-interest exceptions on Twitter":

https://help.twitter.com/en/rules-and-policies/public-intere...

> At present, we limit exceptions to one critical type of public-interest content—Tweets from elected and government officials—given the significant public interest in knowing and being able to discuss their actions and statements.

> As a result, in rare instances, we may choose to leave up a Tweet from an elected or government official that would otherwise be taken down.

I tend to be more pragmatic. I advise people to check the availability of jobs in their area for a given language (or framework), the relative pay of these jobs, and choose what to specialize in based on that. Passion fades, but you’ll always need a job. Chasing fulfillment through work isn’t sustainable for most. Find meaning and purpose outside of work. Just my .02.

>What we need is not [...] cloud storage. We need [...] a decent distributed filesystem,

Distributed files to where exactly? You need to be more concrete about the remote location of non-local data that normal people can use. Ok, so you want "distributed filesystem" to not mean "cloud storage" ... So is it p2p? Something else?

In other words, we want Windows, macOS, Linux, iPhone, Android, etc operating systems... to have a file system that all points to the same "distributed filesystem" and see the same files -- and for other collaborators to see those files.

But we don't want those os configurations to point to DropBox / MS OneDrive / Google Drive / Backblaze, etc. So, we need to be concrete on the alternative common remote location that those file system APIs would point to. What would the topology of that solution look like?

> The studies show that using renewable electricity to first make hydrogen with electrolysis, and then using the hydrogen to heat spaces is less efficient than using the electricity to directly power a heat pump.

Wow, such geniuses they are, to come to this finding. /s

One doesn't need to do the tiniest bit of experiment to know this.

What these people don't seem to understand: an electric grid is a vulnerable system that constantly needs to be kept in balance by active measures, or it will break down. See current situation in Europe, where reports/discussions about grid stability have suddenly become quite frequent, as if it hadn't been obvious for years if not decades that simply building out renewables without adding buffer capacity, will inevitably lead to instability.

So, hydrogen for home heating doesn't merely serve the purpose to transport energy where it's needed. No, it also serves the purpose that's becoming more and more important: buffering/storing energy so generation of electricity/energy and its use can be temporally decoupled (at the scale of months).

Unless an electric grid has ample storage capacity attached to it, generation and demand have to be mostly synchronous, which just doesn't reflect physical (weather/climate) reality. Try using solar energy for heating homes via heat pumps in winter in northern Europe. You'll have to have a really well insulated home to pull that off.

I've asked for a workstation from corporate IT, because I'm nearly always working from the same spot, and would be okay with a Chromebook on the rare situations I'm working remote.

The cost of a beefy (but properly cooled) workstation + cheap Chromebook isn't much different than a corporate laptop. It's just not an option being considered anymore.
An app that takes kid drawings and turns them into something would be cool.
> I'd wager that astronomical housing costs are the biggest factor in these absurd salaries, followed by healthcare.

The causal relationship is in the opposite direction: high salaries cause high housing costs. Law of rent gives a theoretical explanation of this, but we can see this empirically too: rents go up in cities after tech companies with high salaries start opening up offices there, not before. There are also plenty of places with low rent that have higher tech salaries than places with higher rents (compare essentially any US city to Toronto).

> In the end it's a circle of money, from investors to mega-companies to their employees to their landlords which are again part of the investor class.

At least in California, there's not that much overlap between tech company investors and landowners. The housing ownership is much more distributed, and often to "mom and pop" landlords. This is the flow of money in Silicon Valley (expressed in a slightly comic manner): https://twitter.com/nextdoorsv/status/1400165321609199620

It's a bit different in other locations with more consolidation in land ownership, but even there, I doubt there's much overlap (I have less knowledge of housing dynamics outside California, because they actually change, so I'm just guessing here).
Given that HTTP without TLS can provide backwards compatibility while anyone and their dog is advocating for deprecating TLS versions and them being too complex for most people to maintain on their own, I respectfully disagree that plain HTTP was a mistake.
It is not a matter of ethics. Do you think it is the priority for such corporations?

It is a matter of PR. It takes a single "problematic" generated content to be framed as "Google is sexist/racist/supports animal abuse", etc.

Statements related to ethics help in a few ways: holding secrets ("oh, we would love to share the models, but we cannot"), protecting against backslash (PR-wise, legal-wise), and PR on its own ("we are that ethical - see! it is even in our mission statement").

Yes, the "classic" Jai example from early in development compiles a program which IIRC just prints out your score like "You got 10 points" every time you run it - but during compilation it finds the score by playing a video game, live, so if you want that program to say "You got 100 points" you need to score 100 points during compilation, once you "die" in the game your compilation finishes.

Whether this is desirable is dubious. But fundamentally it's not any more dangerous than Mara's nightly_crimes! Rust proc macro (which during compilation replaces your running compiler with a compiler that believes it is compiling the standard library and thus allows non-stable "nightly" features even though you aren't running a nightly build, then casually alters the compiler output to say that this was fine and there's nothing to worry about), or any number of other tricks which result from being powerful enough at compile time.

I doubt that D is as powerful as people would want and yet manages to ensure this can't happen. There are Rust people thinking about WASM sandboxing for this, but it's tricky.

I bring my laptop with me to other teams for questions. I also bring my laptop for presentations, demo’s and sometimes for refinements. I work at home 2 out of 4 days.

A big part of my team has crappy laptops and work just fine with a citrix client. I am a developer and do not understand how they deal with it, but the ba’s are ok with it!
Even with my typical C rants, I absolutely support the idea of a project going with C if that is what it makes sense on the market they operate on.

The additional effort to add tooling and workflows that most of the teams aren't comfortable with, extra effort implementing integration layers, might slow down delivery to the point of diminishing returns, thus withdrawing any advantage.

So while I personally might not like it, in some scenarios that is exactly the tool to use.

Same applies to other domains and whatever language might be the "to go option" there.

Yes but much of Russia’s exports are commodities, which are traded on a global market. If Russia loses Europe, they can find other buyers. They may have to adjust the price, but they will still be able to sell to somebody.

It’s different from China which is exporting far more finished goods. If America stops buying high end electronics from Chinese factories and starts buying from Vietnamese factories, then those exports just vanish from China’s economy. There is no backup America to buy the goods to keep the factories running.

> I wish instead of QE the government would let people buy much higher amounts of I bonds instead. Seems like a great way to hand out money to people directly instead of via banks.

I think you mean as a supplement to the current QT campaign?

The intent of QE is to stimulate the economy by injecting liquidity into the markets; increasing the limit on annual I bonds purchasable by individuals does the exact opposite of what QE objectively intends by locking that liquidity back up at the Treasury.

At face value, the nominal return on I bonds may be net positive (and perhaps even attractive to some investors in this bear market), but the real return is effectively net zero by design; it's a naive mistake to conflate growth with increase in purchasing power. Besides, when the Fed cut stimulus checks during COVID, their intent was for you to spend, not save by giving it right back to them to hold.
I tend to think about the unexploded stuff as having a long-term negative pollution effect - agreed that the chemicals themselves aren't really a culprit. In my view though, after watching tons of combat videos especially during WWII (and even with Syria and Ukraine examples) it's not the ordinance it's what they hit with it. Damaging infrastructure and chemicals and whatnot can have lasting effects by way of the ordinance dropping. Otherwise planes flying over taking recon photos are a different story.

Also I was just considering scale of military flights versus civilian. Yes they burn a lot of gas and haul ass, but there are way many more passenger and cargo flights day in and day out. I do love the idea of improving cargo shipping by sky in my lifetime. As my Uncle pointed out once, having dealt with Passengers and Cargo, "Cargo doesn't complain."

I've personally loved having used Mathematica as a replacement for a CAS Calculator on assessments and tests. Writing up borderline unfair mathematica code to bring into exams got me interested in programming when I felt like I was a bit too knowledgeable for many tutorials, but not confident to actually do anything.

> Conversely, any student without access to such programs or, worse, is required to use handheld CAS instead of Mathematica, will be at a significant disadvantage.

This issue has been a little exacerbated as a specific tutoring company has also been offering custom mathematica packages to people who pay for tuition, which I think is a serious problem. This package also tries to delete itself after use, to the point that during a SAC (school based assessment) , the package failed to run, then promptly deleted itself, leaving these students with vanilla mathematica (which is more than enough).

I feel quite conflicted, I personally love it use, but for the whole cohort who don't all want to deal with programming language syntax in maths, I can see it making maths even less accessible. (Let's also ignore that my tech free algebra skills have taken a nosedive)

> But even a fast laptop is slower than a decent workstation, and if your developers want a local build environment they're probably going to want a decent workstation. They'll want a fast (and expensive) laptop as well, though, because they're not going to carry their workstation home with them and obviously you expect them to be able to work from home.

What kind of builds require more than one of the new MacBook Pro’s?

And what about using cloud development environments instead of a fully remote desktop? I haven’t properly tested GitHub Codespaces, but it seems to me that a lightweight laptop (ie cheapest MB Air, if Apple) with MDM plus codespaces can work really well.

Sure, not everyone is using these tools, but to state that devs in general need both a beefy workstation and a laptop sounds a bit outlandish to me.
You shouldn't blame Ubuntu here. The Python development community did this to itself.

It offloaded a huge cost of porting literally everything in the universe mostly for syntactic niceties like print and parenthesis. That was an astronomical unfunded downstream mandate. Now, it's paying the consequences. There are codebases which couldn't afford to do that, who are suffering. For example, there's a lot of academic code which was grant-funded, which is widely-used, but with no more funding. Python is used a lot for numerics. That code had better keep working, if you want scientific replicability and apples-to-apples comparison of results.

There are ones who _can't_ do that, for a variety of reasons (many regulatory). Like FORTRAN, Python 2 needs to be around for a long, long time. If I have a system with a multimillion dollar audit / certification process, I can't just up-and-port to Python 3 like a web app.

Bless Ubuntu and other organizations who simply didn't say F-U to all legacy codebases.

I might not even mind if Python 3 was designed to do anything useful: supporting compiled code better, multicore, GPGPU, JIT, or whatever. However, it was mostly minor syntactic sugar. The only breaking change in Python 3 which made sense was probably unicode, and that one didn't have to be so breaking.

It was just so random, stupid, and arbitrary.

Yes, the Python community should deal with "receive random bug reports, random feature requests, random crash reports" and other crap. This should be a very visible failure, or we'll see this again with other projects (not to mention Python 4).
Popularity doesn’t have any affect on how many people you need to build it.
