> Climate change is one of the long term predictions that has been consistently confirmed with each passing year.

While this is true, you're dismissing that the claims around climate change have been wildly wrong. The world should have ended a dozen times by now if we look at past predictions by "experts".

I'm not denying climate change at all, and we definitely need to take actions to curb it. But I understand where the skepticism is coming from.
I pointed out that Vyper is an alternative to Solidity which already is available, and that any language can be created to run in the EVM. I would even like to see a subset of COBOL ported to the EVM with an eye toward simple security constructs.
Am curious what specific shortcomings you found in Vyper.
I'm talking about the broad band of spectral components (both close in and further out) which are generated by the synthesizer. These are a separate issue to any sidebands generated by the modulation process.

see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phase_noise

It's surprisingly difficult to generate a clean carrier which doesn't have a broad band of spectral components, but this is essential for the design of effective Receivers and Transmitters.

These sidebands are generated by noise in the oscillator, spurs caused by mixing products, jitter in the synthesiser, and non-linearities in the modulation process.

The bottom line is to look at the output with a high-quality spectrum analyser and compare the result with the spectral mask which is published by the FCC.

Wouldn't the pinning service be the thing keeping the site on ipfs and thus the place that someone could take you offline?

Also, I'm pretty sure most ipfs gateways that expose ipfs to http requests do comply with DMCA and other takedown notices. The content might be in the ipfs, but it won't be accessible on every gateway (which might break your url)

> TypeScript is specifically a good choice because it has been built with the browser and the backend in mind.

Sure, if your only use case is web front/back end uniformity.

My use case covers web front and back end, but also custom embedded, HPC, ML, simulations, and a lot of other stuff that is simply not viable with TS/JS or WASM.
This language lets me share abstractions and reuse code across all this stuff and use C/C++/JS/Python ecosystems directly.

All the above are possible with just JS. Yes, you can even run JS on a microcontroller: https://www.espruino.com/

The V8 JS/WASM engine, however, is written in C++ for good reason.
TS/JS/WASM/web is built on people counting ticks and aligning bytes to give even the floppiest callback spaghetti of frameworks the overhead to be responsive as abstractions increase.

> I have learned over the years that what actually drives the modern world is pragmatism.

I agree, except I think it's more pragmatic to have one language that can service any industry.
TS/JS ain't it, from my perspective.

> reimplement hundreds of libraries from scratch because the ecosystem doesn't exist then you are losing far too much time

Why would you reimplement libraries from scratch instead of using FFI?
FFI is one of the many, apparently unrecognised, 'killer features'.
Specifically killer is FFI with ABI compatibility to C++.
The pragmatic approach is always to stand on the shoulders of giants and FFI with existing libraries for the reasons you listed.

I'm surprised to hear you say that to be honest as you've used the language for years.
Is there an experience behind it?

> You're better off losing some performance and picking the established language, so that you actually ship your project within a couple of months instead of a couple of years.

Well, I don't disagree with the sentiment, but this is more of a commentary on the job market/cost of business than capability.

Again, though, it really depends what you're doing.
Chucking out a web app for an internal tool and distributed websites have different requirements.

> Nim has been going now for 15 years and has thus far failed to reach critical mass. With each year gaining that critical mass becomes less and less likely.

This is a strange perspective to me. Programming languages aren't food left out of the fridge, they're tools to do a job.

Python was made in the 1980s and took decades to even be known about.
Why did people start using Python? Because it was readable, convenient, and very productive.
Why did it become popular? Because people used it more...

What you call 'critical mass' is just a visible hiring pool.

Companies need confidence to find or train people in the language, and developers need confidence they can pay their bills by learning it.
Confidence is increased when people hear of business use, say, if FAANG started a some minor project with it, and it feeds back.

Systems in use at several Big Tech companies can cross check any number of (meta) data attached to the account, resulting in flagged accounts and possibly even automated bans.

This is the reason that at least some permanently banned people on Twitter need to use VPN, a new name/bio and a burner phone to create and maintain a new account. Using a IP address used to access the old one and/or the same phone number and/or the same or a very similar name/bio (probably using a Levenshtein like algo to check similarity) automatically flags the new account.

Let's agree to disagree
Some of us find the interference from the countries we can't talk about more interesting, due to the underlying reasons why.

For instance, I don't even have to name "that country" and we all know who shall not be named. So when we read reports about UAE or China or Russia we just roll our eyes at the stories not being reported on.
A "verbal offer" is just talk and worth nothing. If someone makes a verbal offer, say thanks, look forward to the paperwork and a start date... and keep applying and interviewing.

True no doubt, but as of one or at most two Fedora releases or so, you can plug in a bluetooth dongle (if you don't already have Bluetooth), pair a headset to it and use it! With selectable audio profiles even (the phone quality bidirectional one or the hifi stereo ones). And except for a rare glitch, it works. As well as Bluetooth ever does, judging from the experience in the car.

This was not so previously. I tried every release or two, and always ended up with a locked-up driver within 10 minutes of playing with it. This is totally Bluetooth's complexity's fault of course.

There are only two mistakes in joining a Ponzi scheme:

1. Coming late to the party

2. Getting caught
The biggest downside which appears to be cited by people who discover later that their birth parents weren't the people who brought them up is an uncertainty about why they exist - but for a person who can be told (once they're old enough to understand) the exact circumstances which brought them about that is resolved.

We already have surrogacy, which is when one human volunteers use of their womb to carry somebody else's child (that is, egg comes from person A, sperm from person B, A+B = new human life => fertilised egg is implanted in person C, the surrogate). I know two kids who were born this way, they have loving parents, the eldest will be aware that something is a bit unusual - any other mummies she knows who had a second kid the baby was obviously inside them, whereas her baby sister was inside this other nice lady who just showed up for a few weeks and she's been told that's how it worked for her too - but obviously the tricky details aren't going to be worth explaining to a pre-schooler once they're satisfied with any immediate questions (e.g. is this new baby my sister? Yes. Does the nice lady mean I get extra birthday presents? No)

An artificial womb potentially makes surrogacy an option for larger numbers of people. Some people find pregnancy pretty good really, and their main reason to stop after one or two is economics or practicalities, so this innovation changes nothing for them - but others don't want to risk a second pregnancy after discovering how badly their body reacted the first time, so such technology (if cheap enough) would mean they could have a second or third child.

This also changes the calculus for government intervention. Hiring women to be impregnated is a much more difficult proposition than hiring nursery or orphanage staff. An artificial womb would mean only the second is needed.
In the 1970s, everybody was freaked about "global cooling". Anybody who lived through that era will be skeptical about current predictions saying precisely the opposite.

Never. I often just look up some specific lines, copy links to those lines, send to slack or similar. Not sure how would that work with an app.
Yep. I don't think people realize how much damage hyperbole like this does. Each time one of these predictions don't pan out (which, come one, we'll all be able to laugh about this one in 2025) people take them less and less seriously.
They also do it with very simple transmitters using perhaps just one transistor. All it takes is a few mill-watts and a reasonably efficient antenna.
My knowledge of physics is alright. Regular stores don't use pressurized air to produce electricity. They use electricity directly for obvious purposes.
> these long term predictions

Not all predictions are equal. It's one thing to doubt predictions from random pundits, it's another thing to doubt the current scientific consensus. A lot of smart people from many countries have been working on climate change. They may be wrong in their conclusions but what they're telling us is the best prediction at our disposal.

> I wonder if that is why there is such resistance to climate change among older people...

Probably for the same reason there was resistance to vaccines. A lot of people aren't rationale at all and believe whatever suits their view of the world, even though it's in direct contradiction with all evidences.
Our industry is so disorganized that after half a century 'Software Engineer' is still not a recognized profession, and there is just as little interest in unionizing. I lack the audacity to make sweeping judgments about it.

CSS is scalable. You have to actually know CSS in order to accomplish it. I've been here since mid-90s, when CSS first existed. It isn't until the past four or five years that things have really blossomed into (imho) what it should have been from the outset.

Unfortunately, since we have had to use filler tools for things like layout (tables, hacked flexbox for grid), CSS itself has taken a beating in perceived usefulness/weildability. I believe because of THAT, fewer and fewer people have decided to actually learn CSS.

CSS is a robust language. It is programmable. It is scalable. You just have to learn it, practice it, and approach problem solving from the top down, bottom up, and sometimes sideways. :-)
A lot of software jobs require, say, 3, 5, or 7 years of experience, and they're looking for someone who is minimally qualified, or possibly even slightly underqualified who will see it as an amazing opportunity that they are lucking to have and grow into - and not someone who has essentially already done that job for many years.

You may have more success if you can identify and move into a role that requires, and values, 15+ years of experience - probably management of some sort.

No need for "certain atmospheric conditions".

The point was that very low power signals can go a long, long way.
"The idea of a personal carbon footprint was popularized by a large advertising campaign of the fossil fuel company BP in 2005, designed by Ogilvy.[10][15] It instructed people to calculate their personal footprints and provided ways for people to "go on a low-carbon diet". This strategy, also employed by other major fossil fuel companies borrowed heavily from previous campaigns by the tobacco industry and plastics industry to shift the blame for negative consequences of those industries (under-age smoking, cigarette butt pollution, and plastic pollution) onto individual choices."

It's a cultutal rite of passage when leaving FB. When you leave voluntarily, it's posted on the FB internal workspace? thing and it serves as a way to let people know you've left and maybe leave a hot take on your way out or just leave your contact info for others and maybe thank people who made working in the swamp a little easier. Personally, when I left, I included a snarky email address and purposefully used an older badge with specific companies instead of the then current 'one company' branded badges. I've since started working with someone who recognized my domain from the badge post, as they had been working at FB around the same time, but didn't work with me then.

Since it's not possible for the people who were laid off to do it internally, some people are choosing to do it in public instead. And they probably didn't adjust the message to address the public really.

I would like an USB FM transmitter which shows up as an USB audio card.

It's also possible that air quality on the London Tube is much worse than the bus, at least for particulate matter:

Regarding CO2 levels, there's a 2018 FOI request which seems to imply it wasn't monitored back then, but was within regulatory limits though I'm not sure I'd want to travel on the tube more often than necessary?

"The regulatory limits for CO2 are 5000 parts per million (ppm) for 8 hours time weighted equivalent or a short term exposure limit (15 minutes) of 15000ppm."

In chapter 11 bankruptcy, the existing debts are wiped out (or renegotiated down). But the debt owners (in this case, wall street banks) have to agree to it, of course.

Wall street banks love IPOs!

This is very, very cool. The images of the game-space embeddings have so much interesting correlations that represent.... what? Who knows.
