Logical fallacy
Famously, after Pasternak's Doctor Zhivago was awarded the Nobel Prize in literature, a flood of derogatory letters were published in Soviet newspapers, each beginning with "I have not read the novel..."
As a result, Pasternak was forced to decline the Nobel Prize.
It can be a time saver and helpful when you’re writing it. But hurts even yourself a year or two later. Others with no previous code base experience have it 10x worse.
> Also considering they're asking for a permission for a protocol that was shut down 7 years ago, the framework must be quite old. Android permissions were less granular back then.

That’s not how PlayStore permissions work. You have to target a certain Android version to release update apps and that version dictates how permissions work. You can’t get around those requirements by using an old framework.
I agree with you, and that's one of the reasons I wanted to try switching away from VSCode. It has been pretty good, but sometimes it's quite slow and does who-knows-what in the background, and then I check my CPU and memory usage and yep, it's eating 32Gi of ram. For what? Editing text? Compiling unncessary stuff when I don't want to compile? Then I restart it, like the good old Windows 95 days, and it's all good again. Probably something with the LSPs, but who knows. The point is, it's a lot of magic in those plugins, and I don't like magic because at some point the extra cost of debugging the magic is not worth it. I'd rather have a system that properly surfaces the complexity even if that means it takes longer to learn.
> doesn't take up half the country in surface area

Surprisingly, this argument is wrong. I have once verified the math for replacing all of vehicles in Germany with electric vehicles. Charged with 100% solar. The required surface area for solar farms would be about a tenth of what is currently used for the ethanol additive for unleaded (used typically in personal cars, AFAIK freight and public transport run on diesel without such additive).

But yeah, according to EU studies a zero-emission grid with nuclear for base load is way cheaper than without it.

It really isn’t. I’m kind of fed up with people, who live at a time of unprecedented wealth freedom and opportunity, complaining how bad things are while the state of the world around them improves dramatically.

I was reading about poverty in the UK recently, the numbers are poor, but then I noticed that poverty is defined by a proportion of average wages. That means as wages go up, so does the poverty threshold. It turns out people in poverty in the UK now have double the spending power of those in the 1980s. I’m not saying poverty doesn’t exist, or that these people don’t need help. There are real issues of health, nutrition, opportunities and fairness. No question, but when someone compares poverty statistics over time, they’re not comparing the same things at all.

My wife is Chinese so I’ve seen the transformation there, where hundreds of millions of people have been elevated not just out of poverty, but into the urban middle class. Africa is undergoing a huge transformation. I’ve been lucky enough to do a lot of travelling going back to the 90s, so I’ve seen how much places have changed over the decades. It turns out individual economic and social freedoms, of property, labour, travel and association work. Give people opportunities and they build vibrant productive societies. I’ve watched them do it.

I need some machine learning algorithms
I'm working on an AI chatbot that uses machine learning, and I have a few ideas. Which do you think would work best/do you have any other ideas?
(1) Trial & error: It has a list of common phrases, and tries each one against your input to see if it would make sense.
(2) It starts with very basic, hardcoded responses, then whenever you say something to it, it just adds it as a response to whatever the AI said before hand.
(3) Interview method: It finds online interviews, and searches for somebody in an interview saying what the user inputted. Then, it replies with whatever the other person in the interview replied with.

Books are the best in my opinion as they require lots of structuring of thought before writing, and might go through a sometimes brutal editing process. But pick sensibly, business books, self-help books and the current weeks best-sellers should probably be avoided.

Some higher quality publications exist on the internet, such as nautilus, IEEE spectrum, No Tech magazine, The Baffler, Quanta magazine, Aeon, Le Monde Diplomatique, Current Affairs, The Public Domain Review, Spiegel International, writings by The International Consortium of Investigative Journalists, Foreign Policy, New Scientist, Science magazine, The Economist, etc.

While not perfect, these might keep you busy for a while and give you a broader perspective.
A clean pattern does not emerge naturally with a polyglot stack, as multiple languages with many library dependencies only lead to maintenance issues, duplicated code, and kludges.

I guess my point was that while it is sometimes necessary to pipe messages though multiple languages & platforms under special circumstances (see BSON over AMQP post above alluding to decomposing multiple hardware-dependent programs/codecs into a standardized cluster API.) In general, it is cleaner to have a simple distributed framework that hides the fact it is _not_ a monolith from _most_ developers.

We can agree to disagree on this matter, as everyone's use-case differs. =)

Convincing a Scammer That They’re Going Crazy
Create your own stuff and curate what you read/watch yourself.

You don't need to be a content creator to create good stuff, and unsurprisingly, you find a lot of great things when you have a specific topic you're trying to get information about/research.

Filler/white-noise/empty content is inevitable on any source. HackerNews has tons of advertisements that masquerade as thoughtful posts and the comments aren't always gold. (though the HackerNews moderators deserve huge credit for maintaining a pretty nice balance of freedom to say whatever and maintaining civility/reasonableness)

The best articles I've read have come from non-content creators, just some person somewhere that decided to write or do a video on a subject they happen to be really passionate about. The quality of videos isn't super high (talking about production value), but the content is solid. Not every release from the same person needs to be a million+ views piece, just understand that they have some good thoughts on some subjects and are worth checking in on.

When I'm doing some research for something I want to write about or share or learn, these pieces usually come about somehow after sifting through forums or the 2nd/later pages of search results.

Click-bait articles/videos are not new by any means, it's just easier to publish them now. It was always necessary to sift through it before, and learning to sort such information is a skill that you need to practice. But I can almost guarantee you that trying your own hand at creating something helps reduce that pressure of "it's all clickbait". Don't just copy and summarize, try to make something and just dive in on the process, even if no one ever sees it.

Not equally (where did I say that?) but put frankly it depends how much risk.

Everything is a trade-off, and actually what we usually aim to do as society is to manage acceptable and balanced levels of risk rather than use safety as the single-lens to make decision. As an example, the design of cars would be very different if they were designed only with safety in mind, and if automakers pursued this goal ignoring factors such as speed, comfort and price point (or indeed, competitive pressures).

It's also worth noting that the "efficiency" in my post actually came from the stated goals of the FAA.

London Review of Books.

The name may mislead you. Ostensibly, the articles are book reviews, but barely. The books reviewed are more starting points into long-form articles on their subject matter.

The articles are uniformly fantastic, though obviously not uniformly interesting to everyone. I find that every issue carries about three to five articles I find really interesting.
Saving Private Ryan seems very relevant (most relevant?) as well - it's about two decades older than the ones you mentioned. The beach attack sequence is incredibly brutal, like near everyone in some landing boats getting machinegunned or drowning in seconds. There are missing limbs and bodies cut in half as well.
An addition: you do not _have_ to do everything Emacs-way. Some of "Emacs way" is obsolete, some of it is different from mainstream due to technical limitations of bygone ages or due to the effects of path dependence. Try everything, but feel free to discard things that don't improve your workflow.

For example, I have Command-O bound to "open file" and Command-S bound to "save file", because I don't want to remember another set of obscure hotkeys. I have Command-T for "open me a new blank file", because that's browsers' hotkey.

I use Control-[FBNP] and derivatives because they also work in shells and in majority of edit fields in mac OS. Otherwise I would probably stick to cursor keys.
That I absolutely agree with, this could’ve been resolved a lot more maturely.

Both statements are true.

So yes they were shut down because they were too expensive, and yes the government indirectly shut them down by making them too expensive.

America and Europe are much lower trust than they used to be. Can you leave a laptop unattended in busy Starbucks downtown in major cities? How much does "the honor system" still work everywhere in society?

Japan is now the benchmark for high trust societies, and they copied a lot from Germany (educational system, civil codes, uniforms, many loan words for things still a reminder) nearer its social peak to get there.
The results are manners, cleanliness, very safe, and almost no homeless.

So we know what could be in US and Europe is way more: at least at the level of Japan. I argue even above (if Japan copies the very-foreign Germans it means something was good about Germans).
I'm so confused. Vim has ctags, and it works, across multiple files.

> It turns out people in poverty in the UK now have double the spending power of those in the 1980s.

Do they have double the access to affordable housing? Or to good-enough and cheap healthcare? (I know about the NHS, I also know that their waiting list has exceeded 7 million recently). Can they send their kids to schools good enough for those kids to be able to have a real chance in life later on?

Because, at the end, poverty is defined by the answers to those questions, it doesn't matter that lots of "poor" people can now purchase smartphones and flat TVs while Queen Victoria 150 years ago couldn't.
This argument sounds like "oh, in the end it doesn't matter, we can just continue on!". But this is completely wrong. You cannot dump 50°C hot water into rivers without consequences, and very far reaching consequences at that. They are already very very borderline, because we are talking about something slowly creeping towards 30°C already, in large quantities.

Which also means you have to plan accordingly for all the new nuclear power plants, otherwise you are building a new ruin, pretty much. For the "near" future you can assume the dry and hot periods will continue like that, which means that long term projects like nuclear power plants have to be planned accordingly. Considering the accelerated progress of climate change that should include a lot of risk "buffer", if not a different approach to deal with the cooling water, for example.
Not self sufficient enough and also depending on weather.

There will be much higher demand of electricity in the close future, e.g. battery factories requires a lot of it.

Carbon free steel is another, true is that some of it the involved companies will provide their own electricity production, but that will not be enough.

But there are also other industry that requires electricity for expansion like food industry, paper mills etc.

Another thing is that Sweden has an unequal distribution of production of electricity, a lot of production (hydro) is far north where fewer live, and little production far south where everyone live.

The nuclear reactors that were shutdown was all in southern Sweden.

It is hard to transport vast amount of electricity from north to south because of limited bandwidth but also because of the newly shutdown nuclear reactors, they provided necessary stability to grid, with them gone it made it harder to transport electricity from north to south.

Another problem is that because of the push on wind power and the shutdown on nuclear power, the electricity system has become much more weather dependent resulting in massive price spikes. That is generally bad for industry that want predictable prices.

This also has the consequence that the electricity price of the continent can infect the price in Sweden because Sweden is connected to the same grid. If temporary shortage in southern Sweden, then import of capacity from the continent is required but with that comes a higher price.
I "like" how the beginning of the segment states the "biggest impact" is gonna be on the fishing economy, not on the restaurants.

I'd argue the biggest impact is on... the crab population? Guess nobody really cares for those after all. In which case losing them serves us well.
About as easy as fixing world peace.

Also, a lot of the new energy needs comes from "green steel", which would give massive reduction in the green house gas production required to produce steel.

But for that to make sense we need lots of clean energy.
> Overfishing

With all due respect, fishing many will take out a huge portion of a potential next generation, so it’s not about affecting the population as is.

> In the past few years, lithium ion battery storage has plummeted in cost and is seeing massive deployment all around the grid.

I advize doing the maths on this. Look at graphs of how much solar and win vary, check total elecricity consumption, look up latest price of li ion batteries and then do a bit of maths to see how much you need so that you get no blackouts in a 10 year period. Then realize you should use compressed air storage instead...

Last I checked, if we use the cheapest form of storage (compressed air) and assume there are enough suitable caves for the huge amount we want, we'd triple electricity costs by switching to renewables+storage.

> And one dirty secret that they don't tell you about nuclear: it's also going to need storage.

Not really, you just need to be able to burn excess power. Which is a very easy thing to do (you can spend as much as you want on turning atmospheric CO2 and water into methane).

We have a large scale war in Europe now with Russia threatening with nukes. We have attacks by unknown actor that destroyed gas pipelines.

From this one can see how the idea that somebody will bomb out a nuclear power station somewhere in Europe gets non-trivial probability.

So nuclear power really cannot be safe when this planet allows crazy guys to gain enough power.

As for coal then consider that an electric car that uses electricity from a modern coal plant with over 40% efficiency generates less CO2 than a gasoline or diesel car.

So rather than building nuclear power, the states should invest to upgrade older coal power plants from their 30-35% efficiency to 40-45% and quickly phase out petrol cars while expanding on renewables.
