Solar and wind are good to supplement a dispatchable source like fossil fuels or hydroelectricity. But they are not viable as a primary producer without storage. And we don't have the capacity to build storage at anywhere near the required scale.

It's often said that storage hasn't been developed because until renewables became significant there wasn't any demand for energy storage. This is untrue, energy storage has been attempted in order to smooth out fossil fuel use for the better part of a century. Sites at Turlough Hill [1], Ludington [2], and Bath County [3] were built to smooth out energy load on coal fired power plants. But these sites were expensive to develop and couldn't scale because of geographic limitations. They also were used for temporary daily demand, not the seasonal fluctuations of wind and solar that last for months. Energy storage simply isn't within the capacity to build, unless some breakthrough in technology happens. Until that breakthrough happens, it's not viable. And if you're willing to accept plans contingent on an engineering breakthrough, then just use fusion.

So how do we decarbonize the grid? We can look at how countries that have successfully driven their fossil fuse to near zero and examine how they did it. Countries like Norway, Brazil, and Tajikistan use hydroelectricity for almost all their generation. This is great, but is geographically dependent. We should definitely built it where possible, but it's not a universal option. Same deal with Iceland and geothermal power.

France was also able drive fossil fuel use below 5%. Only 10% of its electricity comes from hydroelectric power, since most of country is on the North European plain (flat land = no dams). They made up the rest through serial production of nuclear power. They built multiple copies of the same nuclear plant designs [4]. Within 15 years the country had over 80% of its electricity coming from nuclear power.

The United states was actually on a similar track during the 1960s and 70s. Nuclear plants were being built at scale, and being delivered for costs between $1-2 billion per GW of capacity. These plants were actually some of the cheapest sources of energy amortized over the entirety of their lifetime. Overreaction from 3 mile island led to reduced nuclear construction. This diminished benefits from economies of scale, and led to higher nuclear costs. Vogtle costs over $20 billion because it's one of only (the only?) reactor under construction, and no economies of scale exists. Plenty of parts like steam generators [5] have no demand, save for nuclear power plants, so instead of serial production of a run of 30 or 40 it's only an order of 3 or 4. This is less efficient, and leads to larger costs.

I also use OpenWRT with SQM (using cake queuing discipline) on a CM4 Pi to address buffer bloat. I don’t see any red blips, my latency is consistently between 20-40ms on Wi-Fi.

What hardware do you have? SQM is pretty CPU intensive. Mine is just powerful enough to be able to use SQM. Try checking if your cpu usage spikes from softirq interrupts.

I suppose one argument is that men in general are stronger, and it's probably a good idea to have strong nurses around, especially with the current obesity rates. I'm absolutely making things up though, not sure if any studies on that kind of thing have been done recently.
> Not enough Housing (where people want and NEED it)

Not a new problem. Wouldn't have caused a spike.

> Global politics exacerbating energy shortages

Energy prices have contributed a little to US inflation, but it's not the main factor. Inflation was also an issue in 2021 before the Ukraine war, but it's a fair point as it hasn't helped in 2022.

> Insufficient supply (generally) for demand

This is an issue, but in recessions it's not uncommon for supply to drop. What's uncommon is for demand not to fall inline (or more than) supply, but instead skyrocket.

Call me crazy, but I have a simpler explanation for the spike in inflation we saw in 2021: https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/WALCL

The Fed has been funding extremely reckless fiscal policy for two years. We literally shut the economy down and gave people checks for doing nothing. I don't think we need to reach for fancy explanations. The reason for inflation seems plainly obvious to me.
Bufferbloat isn't when buffers are so full that they cannot accept more traffic; it's when buffers are so big they never get full enough to cause packet drops (the slowdown signal the sender needs), but are big enough that packets spend an unreasonable amount of time waiting in line.

And a good SQM algorithm shouldn't be shooting down packets from a tool like this unless the configured bandwidth limits are really low, because this tool isn't really generating all that much traffic.

Even if we levelled all wealth, life would be limited by the finiteness of resources, and only economic development - which this levelling would inhibit - would alleviate such scarcity.

Consider what would have happened if society had followed John Stuart Mills' advice in 1848 and maximized for equal distribution of income, resulting in per capita GDP barely increasing from its $2,000 level over the last 170 years:

"It is only in the backward countries of the world that increased production is still an important object: in those most advanced, what is economically needed is a better distribution"

> are able to provide ELI5 level explanations

Yes, in theory, and this sometimes works. But it rarely works in general.

In practice, people come to your explanation pre-conditioned with a lot of (often politicized) misinformation, Dunning-Kruger type overconfidence in their own ability, very little curiosity or openness to new ideas, and exhibit the attention span of a 26th percentile squirrel.

People tend to listen very little and are more skeptical of others than they are of their own understanding: instead of searching for ways in which their mental models need adjusting, they try to poke holes in your explanations. They'll repeat whatever objections they've seen or heard somewhere, whether or not the objection is relevant or adequate. This undermines both "ELI5" approaches (because what you gain in simplicity you lose in nuance and correctness) and more pedantic approaches (which require more prerequisite knowledge, experience, or patience).

If you disagree with me because that is not your experience, it's possible you surround yourself with unusually insightful and wise people.
The market and I agree that you are misreading things, but we can agree to disagree.

By my lights, winners don't have to take all in order to have won -- approximately half the market is sufficient. Enough to dictate terms for most users most of the time. That's Apple in 2022, and the market is reflecting that fact. In fact, I daresay that if Apple hasn't won, it is, at the very least, mate-in-three, or thereabouts.

A more interesting question is, what psychological comfort is there in minimizing one's perception of their hegemony?

I'm thinking in terms of avoidance of discomfort. Ideologically, I've been a FOSSian my whole life -- I'm in my forties, and I was a teenager when I first installed Red Hat.

But I'm increasingly aware that, despite having won the battle with the NT kernel, we somehow lost the war. Specifically, we were co-opted by Apple, Amazon, and, yes, now Microsoft too.

It puts food on my table but it leaves me feeling a little empty. I don't know about you. <3 Maybe it's the same?

It's hard to admit you're a bird in a cage. It's even harder to admit that the next generation will be.
Are you sure all those companies use Debian? I thought Verizon and GoDaddy were using CentOS. Also Google's Debian is customized might not really be appropriate to still call it Debian.
A lot of things managers and higher ups don't see is the human connection. You can look at the metrics, organize people by stack ranking and then fire the quote unquote worst performers, but those worst performers can also be core to the business in other ways by being good team players or good to work with.

That's when you get Jim the all-star programmer leaving because John the slightly underperforming guy gets laid off and he no longer has anyone with relevant interests to talk to. That's assuming that John is underperforming as a whole and not just underperforming relative to his team, which his team could be generally high performance.

So then instead of a 150% programmer and a 90% programmer, you end up replacing both of them with 110% programmers for a net loss in productivity.
It's hard to make items that achieve their function and can be transported into space. There are still improvements to be made with functionality and launch-ability. It's more important to focus on those - if you can make something fit a subjective standard of beauty at the same great. Except that's only 1 person's ideal so who cares.
Same for FreeBSD. Incredibly code-stable and well-documented by Linux standards.

I often use the FreeBSD Handbook as an example of first-party documentation done right, and that's only possible because of deliberately limited "churn for churn's sake". The kinds of regular code rot and attrition that Linux suffers just does not take place on BSD systems because if you contribute something new you're expected to make your thing mesh with the ecosystem, they don't tolerate the "I'm gonna churn everyone's environments because my version is 10% better than the existing one" that tends to take place on Linux.

As an example, the amount of init systems that Ubuntu has gone through over the last 20 years is completely insane by BSD standards. They've gone from sysvinit to upstart to systemd. You don't have people ripping out the graphics and audio subsystems and doing total rewrites, either. It's nuts that a lot of Linux people don't even realize that it doesn't have to be that way - that's not "just how maintenance is supposed to work", that's a bunch of incredibly bad behavior on the parts of distros and Poettering specifically that has become highly normalized and overlooked. Maintenance shouldn't be breaking things like that. "we never break userland" doesn't have to be a suicide pact either - BSD has actually maintained a much more stable ABI than the linux kernel without crystallizing a bunch of shitty bug-compatibility stuff like Linux is doing either. It's all insanely stable and competent and professional by linux standards.

If I was developing a product for true long-term support, with the minimum possible engineering effort devoted to fighting churn, BSD would be at the top of the list.
Any metric that is not the true metric that is optimized on will lead to worse results if overfit. You need to make sure there's at least a reasonable amount of variance.
In addition to sibling’s recommendations, consider OCaml too for a strict language that is vaguely similar to Haskell and performs similarly well in benchmarks:

https://cs3110.github.io/textbook/cover.html
Yeah but you and I don't have the same level of filial piety notions towards the elderly as they do.
Haskell has to have an escape hatch in order to work, though fortunately it is hidden away.

Every program has effects. A program that does not have any effects (IO) would not be useful, as you can't get anything into or out of it.
In FP we manage those effects, in order to help ensure correctness, with the additional benefit that good effect management makes the program easier to comprehend (nee reason about).

Contrast a procedural program with effects littered throughout the codebase, with a program wherein effects are pushed to the edges. In the latter, you and your team know exactly where all of the effects occur. Everything else is pure code: easier to test, easier to comprehend, easier to compose.

Category theory is not required for good effect management. It just so happens that monads like IO fit the problem space nicely; although the same could be achieved with a lazily evaluated definition of computation (i.e. a function).
I don't know what your point is then, but this is turning in to a very trite conversation.
LED growlights have been commonly available for years. I was using them a decade ago for horticulture. I don't see how an LED company could even NOT be making them. The cannabis industry alone is huge. Seems like Cree is very behind the 8ball in this space if they are just now entering the market.

1) I am the misfit at work, I've been one my entire life. I've always been the "odd person". I really try my best on this front, but it's worse with WFH. In office people found me kind of funny and enjoyed having me around, WFH though? I disappear and get forgotten about.

2) College for me was a decade ago. I've had probably three or four full time jobs since that point, one absolutely amazing one was over half that time.

3) You're right on both fronts.
> I have two teams reporting to me, and each have a 30minute morning meeting where we decide what needs the team attention during the day.

Why you have to talk with your team on a daily basis? That’s too frequent and into weeds. The earliest should be weekly. Delegate and plan for long term.

> Walking in the forrest have two benefits; less risk of getting hit by a car

There’s a risk with everything. You just switch one with another.
True, I just mean there are less people that could be actively deceiving you. Point taken that what you're witnessing could still be staged though.

I know what I liked originally about computers was gaming, modding, hacking, and building them. I didn’t have a huge interest in programming and I definitely didn’t have an interest in having shitty managers. Yet here I am - big head SV engineer.

For reference, the conversation in the article has the Eurozone in mind primarily.
That was an extremely evil proposition, and would have put me and many other small businesses out of business. You see, big companies like Apple get to negotiate with their local governments for commercial property tax rates, but small businesses are paying full list price. Adobe, for example, is paying almost no property tax for its first San Jose tower, but the businesses like the electrical contractor, the body shop, and the metal shop on my block pay list price. If prop 15 passed, the increased cost would have put them all under.

(See https://www.sanjoseinside.com/news/labor-business-spar-over-... for information about tax breaks for giant developers)

The people who supported prop 15 are evil and racist (it would have put many minority businesses out of business). The only businesses left would be giant corporations who could make deals. (See https://calmatters.org/commentary/my-turn/2020/10/prop-15-wo... ).
There was an amazing article on here a couple years ago that discussed how during a depression in Japan the most popular magazines went bankrupt, but the niche magazines did very well, because they were a source of 'identity' for their customers. That 'identity' is a really important commodity and people will skimp on food for their fix.

I think there is an element of identity in many of the products apple sells, but more importantly they are the best way to access the apps where people really do source their identity.

That was an extremely well written explanation of his viewpoint on the future. Government providing guarantees leads to a weaker central bank and all the ramifications that would have.
> There is good reason to believe that if you could magically shove high-status men into nursing; nursing salaries would go up.

All else equal, if you shoved high status men into nursing they would only serve to increase the supply of workers, thereby reducing bargaining power and thus incomes would be more likely to fall.

High status men become high status because they find places to go where supply is extremely constrained (naturally or artificially). When you are one of few people able to do something that is desired then status and income follow.

The CEO gets there by first being one of a very select number of people who has built trust with the board. The board certainly isn't handing the keys to the kingdom of a multi-billion dollar operation to any random Joe off the street for obvious reasons. When the supply is nearly non-existent and the demand is nearly insatiable, price goes to the moon and so too does status much the same way.
Yes. I had it in my previous home in germany.
Damn, that's freaking crazy. GTA in real life. Thanks for showing me, sn0w!

Or like, cool, this is the code style. I don't care if it's sublime or stinks to heaven. When we get to a total rewrite we'll address that. Which features are you hiring me to implement? Which bugs need to be fixed? How can I not waste my time or yours?

Seriously, this takes yak shaving to a whole new level.

It varies by county.

I sold a truck that I couldn't get inspected in Travis county (because of a sensor code that indicated misfires on start) to a buddy up in Lubbock, and it inspected just fine up there.

I would add that those CollegeVine calculators (and any acceptance rate calculator) are not based on any real data - extracurriculars really make or break applications at top schools when every applicant is in the 95th percentile. You can't really use that as data, although a lot of the data sets for top schools do support those acceptance rates you mention. If your child's school uses Naviance, that is a far more useful tool in my opinion for looking at acceptance rates since it takes data from your school district.
BTW, while that may seem doubtful on the face of it, consider this: a single baby formula plant shutting down precipitated a national crisis because one or two plants basically make the whole supply for the entire country. Most food markets and most dry-goods (even tech markets specifically) are not any less concentrated than that. Smithfield and Hormel basically run almost the entire meat market, they control a supermajority share (and not a "technical" one either, we're probably talking >90% share) of the entire US production between two companies.

What would happen if both Intel and AMD decided to raise prices? Well, you'd pay more, maybe in the long term you'd see a push away to ARM or RISC-V but that's always been a pipe dream in practice, x86 domination of the desktop market has never been cracked. And oops, turns out ARM went bad just recently too, so, time to start over again, better luck next time suckas!

The biggest problem with have with inflation right now is that it's being persisted by the upper middle class and above, ie. the white collar workers. Meanwhile the lower-income people are the ones that are truly suffering but they have no control over it. The massive amount of income inequality we have seen since Obama in 2009 is causing this to happen.

The white collar workers are persisting inflation because they can afford to keep paying whatever it costs to get whatever they need. They can get wage increases commensurate with inflation. Meanwhile, the lower income, ie. The Poors, have no control and just have to endure and suffer with inflation.

The only way we cut inflation is by having mass layoffs of white collar workers. We won't see a recession at all until white collar workers stop spending. Until we see that, we're going to get very sticky 5%+ inflation, and then once layoffs start happening, then a recession will be quick and sharp.

This will be an extremely hard landing for all of us.
It’s worth noting that OP (who is not a politician) does discuss money supply, including a chart that shows how M2 money creation spiked when COVID hit but has now returned to the pre-pandemic growth rate. OP’s core thesis is that today’s Federal Reserve understands stagflation and will avoid the mistakes of the 1970s, similar to how the 2008 Federal Reserve understood the Depression and avoided the mistakes of the 1930s.

But layoffs in California of 50 or more people in a 30-day period require the employer give 60-day notice to affected employees as a result of the California Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification (WARN) Act[0]. This is often handled by giving 60+ days of compensation as severance with ~0 notice. If they can get away with saying it's "for cause" then they can claim it's not a layoff and therefore not covered by the WARN Act.

Nah, this isn't possible. My ability to afford that time is due to having a mortgage and being in a low COL location. Going somewhere else while cool, would actually reduce my total time because my base costs are fixed and not optional, unlike if I was a renter.
