I think it is a pretty cool fact that because of the ability to use LED lights in this manner where they emit only the ranges of light wavelengths that are beneficial to plants, you can actually capture sunlight with solar panels. Convert that light to electricity. Then re-emit that electricity as light through these narrow range LEDs as well as store it and emit it over longer periods of time. You actually end up with more plant growth than would be possible if the plants were directly in the sun.

Capitol Corridor Train Slams into Tesla on Tracks in Santa Clara, CA
Tucson resident here. It did make me feel a bit better setting up my harvesting system. I collect about 10,000 gallons that I use to irrigate my thirsty grapefruit and lemon tree. If I didn't have to collected water, it would cost me a few hundred a month to keep them healthy. If I didn't have the collected rainwater, I wouldn't have the trees. Using city water to irrigate my citrus just feels obnoxious.

The whole process of setting up the system was a lot of fun and a lot of work. The soil here is quite hard, so I got a great workout digging the trenches.

I know my overall impact is negligible, but have a general sense of well-being by having the system. You could say the same about the solar systems I set up as well. I could just as easily pay Tucson Electric and Power as they are setting up big solar arrays now.
Tell that to the MySQL folks. They sold it to Sun for a billion dollars, then made Larry Ellison pay for its development when he finally realised buying it with Sun wouldn’t allow him to kill it.
Google maps actually tried to kill me once. I was driving down Hwy 59, to a remote farm I'd never been to before, and for some reason Google Maps thought that there was a break in the highway. Like someone with an eraser just swiped a 1-inch stripe across the highway that was impassable.

I trusted it because I didn't really know where I was going, and it had never let me down before. So I followed its instructions down a series of little farm roads to detour around the "break". Except one of the roads crossed under a raging stream, and was only passable during the dry season. I actually fishtailed a little to stop, because the road was slightly downhill and made of dirt. If I had followed the instructions, I would have died.

Anyway, I submitted a bug report about that highway break, and 5 months later Google wrote back and said my fix had been accepted! How thrilling.
I like this. I'd try to keep the permission sets as small, limited, and simple as possible though.

He killed himself.

To be exact: his was high functionning until he wasn't. From my understanding, he had a bad week (health troubles), which spiraled into a worse one at work. He took a month off, but was so nervous and on the edge that he beat his kid, and his ex-wife told him to put himself together or she would ask for full custody (basically you only see your child two weekend a week instead of half/half).

Don't know what happened then (i had taken my distance since the divorce). The day before he had to go back to work (or the day after, not sure), he killed himself.

[edit] This is my flawed understanding of the events. It probably did not happen like this exactly, most of it was discussions at the church and after the incineration (we usually have dinner with friends and family during those times where i live).
I also love Python the language, but it’s hard to keep using it when it’s so slow. Parallel processing helps, but it’s still slow. Definitely dumping pandas the first chance I get. It’s one of two major bottlenecks with the other being anaconda for Windows. Maybe the culprit is running Python on Windows since it relies on so many parts of nix?
This isn't quite a million, but a current candidate for San Jose mayor, Matt Mahon, makes the point that the "housing solution" for homelessness is now costing over $100K per new unit. He has a proposal to build them for $8K / unit.

Is that realistic? I don't know, but it seems clear that any real solution has to be cheaper than what's being spent now.

> I'm still wondering why `(int)` is spelled `reinterpret_cast<int>` in C++. Do they just like hitting keys on the keyboard?

They are doing different things. For example, `reinterpret_cast<int>` cannot cast away constness but `(int)` can. There are other differences and you should never use C-style casts. In most C++ code bases I worked on, there were static code analysis checks pre merge that would prevent anybody from merging code with C-style casts to master for that reason.

If having something like the zip code not be accurate, then what's the point of having the zip code in your data? People writing code to store zips/addresses are doing it to not not be able to send/verify/etc. They are doing so that the can, but if the data is wrong then they can't.

What countless applications that ask for a zip code/mailing address and don't need it to be accurate? I would then say that any that you name would actually not need the data in the first place.

> For what pumped storage can't handle we can synthesize and store gas and we'd still save ~10% compared to nuclear power's abysmal economics.

Unfortunately, no we can't. The Sabatier process (aka "synthesized gas") requires sources of hydrogen and carbon dioxide. The former is almost entirely produced through steam reformation, as electrolysis is not efficient or cheap enough. The latter is present in the atmosphere but in concentrations too small to be useful. The Sabatier process is opportunistically used with concentrated CO2 byproducts from industrial processes. But you can't just build a synthetic gas plant and use it as a battery.

This is yet another step on the slippery slope toward extremely slow compilation. I once timed this little program:

#include <boost/variant.hpp>

on a machine that was very fast for its time. It took seven seconds to compile! Now modern variadic templates are quite an improvement, but not enough of one. A metaclass generating an instantiation of an n-element variant which, in turn, instantiates the n-1 element tail, etc is quite a log of generated code and types, and anything using it needs to contend with all that complexity to resolve method calls, etc. In contrast, any language with native sum types can handle this efficiently.

Furthermore, native sum types make it obvious to the compiler, type checker, static analyzers, etc that the type in question is actually a sum type. Getting a compiler to understand a metaclass-based variant well enough to do something like Rust’s sentinel value optimizations sounds miserable.

C++ is a tool and it still has its use. If you have ever tried to slowly sprinkle Rust into a large C++ code base you will know that it's hard, laborious and error-prone. For completely new projects that don't need existing C++ libraries: sure, I wouldn't use C++ nowadays. There's tons of good reasons that lots of actively developed code is still C++ though.

It's okay people: I have the solution. We just need to make Python as hard to use and ugly as all other languages and then the skids won't be able to use it. Thank me later.
Maybe Haskell's okay if it's a uni course for sharp, motivated kids. Probably not a good idea for the general population, as much as it pains me to admit it. Learners need tight feedback loops that will actually run mistakes. Laziness, IO, and type strictness (I remember getting flustered by simple division) make Haskell an awkward fit for this interactive style of learning.

The answer to your question is in most if not all arguments against the widespread use of C/C++ in something as high level as OpenSSL. C and C++ ask a lot of developers, mostly in terms of ensuring memory safety. It’s possible to write crappy code in Rust, sure, but the language design has taken the decades of experience of knowing where C falls short and provides a more safe natural path. The long-running rebuttal to this is “it’s as easy as using function x instead of function y!” with the name of function x being some inscrutable derivative of the name of function y. If it’s so easy, why do C codebases keep having the same issues? I’d seriously question the software development experience of someone that doesn’t see the value in reducing developer cognitive load.
