clickbait title. Interpreted languages are less cycle efficient than compiled languages? I'm sure the world is vastly safer having the shadow of that galaxy brained individual to hide in, and their wise proclamations to guide us.
You made a lot of arguments in your post, and it's going to take a lot of work to unpack them all.

But I'll say right away - starting your post with "What evidence of sexism do you have?" is a bit laughable. There's a lot of evidence of sexism in our industry. But it seems that you are unwilling to consider any of it. If you truly believe that western feminism is the REAL sexism, do you think there is a chance to find any middle ground or agreement on this discussion?

I have something to say about almost everything you wrote, but I'll pick the thread on one spot that I think has the most potential:

> It seems like misogyny usually just means "something a woman hates" as opposed to actual overt discrimination and mistreatment

Well...yeah? If there is a concept, or behaviour that men happen to not mind, but women on average/generally/mostly do, and an environment that contains mostly men either actively promotes that concept/behaviour, or tacitly ignores it by looking the other way, that is going to create an environment that is hostile to women!

Now you might say, that's not inherently a problem. But what if this is an environment that doesn't inherently benefit from an imbalanced gender ratio. Then those behaviours, that hostility, is actually actively funnelling viable capable women out of the environment, and there is no meritocracy to ensure that it can occur.

> Many of these same activists now even refuse to define what a woman actually is,

Casual transphobic dog whistle? Disappointing.
It's irrelevant if there will be people who refuse to trust these sources, as long as they can establish a pedigree by continuously providing accurate information. If info from one node can be invalidated by other trusted sources after its original reporting (by publishing the facts after the dust cloud clears), the node will have the incentive to stick to the truth.

That would do the world a whole lot of good. (I haven't read the article and am choosing to believe your summation.)

US participation in WWII was clearly vital and pivotal. Korea and Vietnam were unfortunate necessities - anyone that believes otherwise is naive and has no idea of the true horror communism always brings. The Cold War was ultimately the very long tail of WWII...

After those times there wasn't any need for the US to be an aggressor in other lands.

No, renewables are already here but nuclear is good too.

Emacs suggestions in no particular order:

Emacs manual is great, at least skim it to see what's out there in stock Emacs.

Look at what Spacemacs provides in packages: these are most likely the most popular extensions. You don't need to use Spacemacs, but this is the closest to the curated list of useful packages Emacs has (would be glad to be proven wrong - is there a better list?), so at least reading through it will give you an idea what could be added to Emacs to make it more useful.

LSP support is a gift to all non-mainstream-IDE users. Use it.

"Mastering Emacs" is a good book: https://www.masteringemacs.org/book, I wish it was available when I started.

Be aware that many Emacs packages are terribly outdated and not very good to start with. Don't try too hard to make work something that sounds good on paper: if it doesn't work, or cumbersome to configure or use then look for alternatives. Over time I got rid of most of the packages I tried.

Learn some Elisp. It's not a large language, and knowledge of it makes making Emacs lifestyle improvements trivial.

P.S: It helped that at 1998 IDEs were too slow to run on a computer I could afford, so I stick to Emacs and eventually got better at it.
The author is addressing front line combatants, not the people in the far more common support roles.

An endorsement layer could actually be pretty cool.

The quality of discussions on hacker news is much better. I feel people here at least try to make an effort and BS typically gets called out. It’s not perfect but there’s a reason I much prefer HN.
All I can see is a dystopia where it's illegal to try and connect to one of these networks with a device that doesn't have a government-signed bootloader and illegal to portray yourself on these networks as anyone other than your real legal identity.

Look. I wouldn’t have said a thing about it if you didn’t laugh about being bored by the routine suffering of others. Maybe you have more to talk about than you think?
Funnily the rhetoric of nuclear proponents is always exclusively aimed against renewables not fossil fuels.

They know if not for ideological/political reasons/influence no nuclear plants will be build because it is just too expensive. If I can build double (now, the difference is rapidly increasing) the capacity using wind or solar why should I build nuclear? People who propose to do otherwise are the ones who are insane.

Just look at wind power in Sweden they only really invested in wind in the last 3 years: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wind_power_in_Sweden

That is weird.

Diabetes can sometimes be treated with methods other than insulin [0]. I think that these dietary treatments are always a better option than insulin.

The same way with high blood pressure. High blood pressure should always be managed by "diet and exercise" before meds are brought in.

All of these drugs (diabetes drugs, high blood pressure drugs, heart medication) that are regularly being used to treat lifestyle diseases should be seen as a last resort with the main goal being to help people get to a point where they don't need them.

Sweden also has an imbalance problem due to a lack of transmission capability. After shutting down nuclear plants in the south that kept the grid balanced, there are now times where the transmission from the north (where the hydro power is) to the south is at capacity. So the country as a whole has generation, but can't get it to where it needs to be.
Interesting but I am a little skeptical of any internet protocols coming out of Japan. Large parts of their internet discriminate against traffic from outside Japan by blocking foreign traffic/transactions entirely or giving low priority.

Adaptive flight control with living neuronal networks on microelectrode arrays

The brain is perhaps one of the most robust and fault tolerant computational devices in existence and yet little is known about its mechanisms. Microelectrode arrays have recently been developed in which the computational properties of networks of living neurons can be studied in detail. In this paper we report work investigating the ability of living neurons to act as a set of neuronal weights which were used to control the flight of a simulated aircraft. These weights were manipulated via high frequency stimulation inputs to produce a system in which a living neuronal network would "learn" to control an aircraft for straight and level flight.

> Ever wonder why both Chinese investors and the Saudi sovereign fund were prepared to pay huge premiums in valuations when investing in companies, even though it was apparent it was likely they'd make a loss?

This is totally unrelated. If you’ve got money outside the country you’ve already won, the point is that Chinese people can’t freely participate in foreign funds.

For example, many funds (sequoia, light speed, etc) maintain separate independent China funds to which the Chinese are restricted. It should be obvious to say, but a Chinese person cannot easily get wealth out of the country using a Chinese investment fund.

> If you have $100M inside China, can take a 30% loss but end up with $70M in the US that isn't a bad deal.

That’s not what GP is describing. GP is describing fraud wherein you lie about your losses (take 5% loss, report 20% loss). Everything you claim you earned goes back to China, but the gap between reported losses and true losses stays outside the country.

Note that you still want to be investing in a somewhat successful business for this scheme, to minimize loss of capital.
Android and iOS have almost equal market share in Norway. Worldwide Android is a lot bigger (~70%). This affects most people, just not in the US.
Nuclear was shut down due to tax raises and switching out the ceo to a wind-friendly person.

Bulding more wind when it is not blowing in the winter does not help. Should we freeze at -10C for days until there is wind again?
I was doing this experiment few years back with `emacs -nw`, tons of other packages in Emacs and custom elisp code. Used `ein` in emacs instead of Jupyter notebooks, browsed web in text browser etc.

But as I grew older I realised I need to pick my battles wisely. I still use emacs for some simple edit tasks and tramp for remote server file edits. But for normal day to day development that pays the bills, I've switched to vscode.

GUI based apps are offering better experience. For example, I can still configure Emacs to work well with Golang or Python. But the out of the box setup you get by clicking couple of buttons in VSCode is far superior.

It is separate matter if terminal world is getting abandoned is right thing or not. Maybe it is relic of a different era: when computers were time shared machines and connecting to them with terminal was the only option. But I increasingly realised that isolating myself out of better GUI based options is not the right battle to pick.
Considering the 4090 gets 95% of the performance in games if you set a 60% powertarget [0](~90% in synthetics), I feel like they just juiced the power draw like crazy to be able to say they had the fastest gpu this generation (same with AMD's Ryzen 7000 CPUs, where you can drop from ~240w to 140w for 95% of the multicore/100% of the single core performance).

Also I was playing the Darktide beta, and at 4k I want about double the framerate I currently get on a 6800xt (FSR 1.0 and DLSS (according to friends and comments on reddit+discord) both look bad in it). We're moving past crossgen games at this point too (and UE5 seems very heavy), so for eg. 100+ fps or 4k something in range of ~50% faster than a 3090 would be nice.

A great encapsulation of how 'cancel culture' means absolutely nothing.

This film was 'cancelled' and that's why it was written up in two publications with national audiences.
I think its true. I know its cliche to miss the “good old days” but I think you’re spot on. I would only suggest a bit of de-clutter and padding to i Reddit but other than that, its perfect for functionality.
Why would trust be transitive? I don't trust people 3 degrees of connection away from me. Why would I? If someone X I know and trust directly introduces me to source Y, that's already only a slight endorsement. Somebody I know clicking a button 3 years ago saying they trust person A who liked some article means pretty much nothing.

I think the problem is with a known bad driver blocklist not working like it should. It's something that should prevent installation even if the user clicks yes.
I'm a bit behind the times with crypto, but my question was closer to this:

Didn't people foresee that governments would control crypto when it interfaces with the real world? They can pressure the banks, the exchanges, and any crypto infrastructure within their borders.

The government can't stop crypto completely, but they can make it really painful to use and thus reduce its value.

Assume that I'm asking in good faith, but with imperfect knowledge.
> They come at a great cost, in the form of high taxation, government debt, inflexibility, and inefficiency.

That sounds great on paper, but I've become skeptical of the catchphrase. Total tax rates in the USA don't seem that much lower for individuals. Many charts of tax rates are based on taxes as a share of GDP which IMHO isn't useful.

I just looked up the tax rates in German and California (both high economic centers). It seems Germany is about ~38% vs a total rate in California of ~33%. There are states in the US that don't have income tax like Wyoming, but overall the state income taxes are about ~6-8%. Top tax rates in California are higher than in Germany too.

Also the US corporate tax is 35%, of course only for those corps that can't afford setting up tax shelters, like Google and Apple, etc. In the EU it's 15%, though the use taxes are higher vs sales taxes.

So taxes are a bit lower in the US they don't seem significantly lower, especially in states with high economic output (and jobs) like California and New York.

I'm not pro high taxes. For example I'm a fan of lowering the US corporate tax and closing the tax haven / Bermuda tax shenanigans. It does seem that the US takes almost as many taxes but provide less services and bang for the buck at the same time.

The law has to draw a line somewhere. Cars have to come with wheels, even if wheels are available for purchase. Appliances have to come with power cable, even if wires are available for purchase.
You make a number bad claims here.

The effect of not having enough planable energy production is that prices go up and that the energy industry starts gradually worse power plants. So you have the oil powered plants in the south, spewing out CO2. The reason why this "works" is because a number of countries in the vicinity have large needs for energy in the aftermath of having shut down their planable energy production. (Both coal plants and nuclear plants.)

The swedish nuclear plants were not shut down because they were not economically viable, this is as they say _fake news_. A special tax and a number of new fees were introduced by the swedish green party that prevented economic viability. Plus: further development of more modern technology was prevented actively and also indirectly because of political risk and a lack of stability for such investments.

The hydro power is in the north and cannot be transported to the south for a number of both technical reasons (too much losses with lines that long) and a lack of capacity.

The wind power has to be stored in batteries (or other similar technology) in order for there to be energy available when there's not enough wind blowing. These are problems that are actually hard to solve and that also have plenty of bad consequences for the environment. Not being able to acknowledge this is the real ideological fallacy here.

In fact: there is already "too much" wind farm capacity in relation to storage capacity and immediate power needs, as is evident when the price drops way below viability for the plants themselves (and sometimes into negative territory.) When this happens, the wind farms run huge losses _and so does all the other plants_. And when there is no wind, the wind farms rack up losses again.

Energy management in Sweden is a lot more complex and nuanced than thinking that what's happening now in regards to a want for nuclear power production is some sort of bad ideology.

US Navy ships in the territory of Hawaii were bombed but the island was not “invaded”.

You are right that the Philippines was invaded, and was at the time a US territory. But it was at that point under a government intended to transition it to independence. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hare–Hawes–Cutting_Act

From what I can tell (this was decades before my birth and I have not extensively studied it, so I probably have an oversimplified impression) for mainland Americans, the Philippines was not really considered to be part of the country in the same way as, say, Illinois or Texas, and Filipinos were not considered to be Americans in the same way. (e.g. after WWII the Congress voted to strip benefits from Filipino veterans https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rescission_Act_of_1946) I’m sure the US wanted to maintain some navy and trade presence there though.

The Japanese also occupied the Aleutian islands of Kiska and Attu (part of Alaska territory). But it’s hard to imagine that people 3000 miles away in, say, Oregon were worried that the Japanese would be imminently launching an amphibious assault from there.

My guess is that AI workloads are going to be a significant factor of demand for high-end cards. It used to be gaming and mining and now we have AI art generation that requires high-end cards to be productive.

I've written about Emacs for, hm, nearly 13 years [1]. My recommendation is picking one thing you want to start doing in Emacs, and then focus on getting good at that.

Maybe that's doing your shell/terminal work in Emacs. Perhaps it's note taking and organising your thoughts, tasks, and agenda. Perhaps email. Maybe it's small shell scripts at first, before you move on to larger tasks, like full-on programming like you do in your daily job (I am guessing.)

If you try to do everything, while trying to remain productive at your job, you'll probably abandon Emacs.

I've written a book on Emacs, which will definitely teach you Emacs. But it's not a _requirement_ to read a book on it. The manual and tutorial and both good places to start if you'd rather do it for free.

The validity of psychiatric diagnoses is far more debatable than the validity of a (non-psychiatric) medical diagnosis such as type 1 diabetes mellitus.
