I was not talking about purpose.

I meant that dinosaur are not biologically capable of living in this time period or this environment of earth. They would have to be on life support from birth. Even than it would take many years of trying before we figured out how to keep them alive. Which means they would start dying a slow agonizing death from the moment we create them.

It would be like dropping people off on Venus and saying make the best of the sulfuric acid atmosphere.

Have you ever seen a killer whale in captivity with its top fin floppy/not standing up straight. They have no idea why that happens in captivity they cannot figure out even after many decades of them being captive. Now imagine that with millions of years of difference.

Nice product and culture but localised pay for remote means you can do better salary wise if you live in a LCOL. Last time when they had the open calculator it wasn't worth it, I was making more working remote for unknown companies in UK / Switzerland than I would working for GitLab as a manager.

That's also how you can save FANG money without dealing with performance reviews or other FANG bs politics: high (but not FANG high) pay somewhere, low cost of living and minimal taxes.

Happy to read VAX/VMS here :-) - my first project as a college fresher was migrating critical data from VAX/VMS ISAM files (written using Fortran code) to Digital Unix. The days when these two machine's did not talk to each other. Learnt dd, tape drive record limiter issues, all data was floating point so issues with binary compatibility etc.
One of the best accomplishments in my career.
No, you are treating RAID as a protection against longer outage of restoring from backups.
That is not what is being said. What is being said is that there are two factors to nuclear accidents:
1. The actual costs of containment, cleanup, repair.
2. The arbitrarily imposed costs to satisfy a terrified public.

For power generation, humans just need electricity. This requires large networks of high voltage lines crisscrossing the country. Those lines will start wildfires at some rate X. A utility cannot survive being liable for all damages by that wildfire.

So what you do - is everyone buys insurance and the government sets "best practice" regulations designed to reduce X to a number considered reasonable. Investigations that result in litigation are usually what happens when the company has clearly violated best practice.

The problem with all things nuclear is that our vision of acceptable number and severity of nuclear incidents is that it needs to be negative.
The quantity of lithium required is miniscule, but would require a fair bit of enrichment to eliminate the Li-6. The limiting resource is the inner wall for which no known material other than double the annual world production beryllium is even close to sufficient
One thing I really like Verse is it makes prolog/datalog cute.
Backups cannot be perfectly real-time unless they are very nearly RAID. Any time you are generating/collecting important data, you will unavoidably have some amount of that important data in the state of not yet backed up.

It's reasonable to want to preserve all the data you currently have—some of which probably hasn't been backed up yet—and not accept new data to be written with the durability guarantees the array was originally configured for silently violated.

Since the kernel has no way of knowing which volumes may contain important data that didn't get the chance to be backed up, it should try its best to maintain the original durability standards the filesystem was configured until some mechanism outside the kernel authorizes the relaxation of those standards.

I think it was closer to 15-20, but then you had a service pack update which was another 10.

The problem here is that no job will cover enough paid leave for a person's chronic health issues. We get 10 days of personal leave a year in Australia outside of our annual leave. I use almost all of my personal leave just to go to medical appointments for my chronic issue let alone take a day off because it's flaring up. It's safe to assume that being able to host a stream within your choice of working hours and in your own space is already making work far more comfortable than what most people with chronic health issues experience at work.

A lot of the ibiquity patents are expiring this year or have already expired as well.

2FA is a good thing in most cases, but I do hate how the industry has blindly adopted it as some sort of mantra that you can't exist without. The reality is that if you chose 128+ bit passwords generated out of /dev/random, they cannot be brute-forced within the lifetime of the universe. You might get phished, which is entirely different, but if you're careful about that you'll do fine without 2FA.

In the early 1990s, I was part of a group of high school students who wanted to enter the Finnish demo scene. I was responsible for coding most of our demos in 386 assembler. One of the things I wrote was a player for MOD, ST3, and S3M music files, which were similar to MIDI but included WAV samples. The player ran in the background on a hardware interrupt, while other code ran on the foreground to display something on the screen. For most sound cards, the player had to mix the samples in real-time and output a byte to an I/O port at a rate of 22 kHz, for example.

To enter a demo competition, one of the criteria was support for Sound Blaster sound cards. The problem was that we didn't have one and didn't want to buy one because we had already spent all our money on Gravis Ultrasound cards. Fortunately, a member of our group was able to borrow a Sound Blaster for a day. We had to figure out how to add support for it, but we had no documentation and there was no internet to speak of yet.

I figured that it must be possible to add support by sending I/O to the card. We put the card in my computer and started a third-party MOD player that had Sound Blaster support. I traced the execution in a debugger, instruction by instruction, while my friend took notes on all the I/O instructions. After some thought, it became clear that the program was scanning for a Sound Blaster and, if I recall correctly, configuring the card to DMA a particular byte in memory as the sound card output.

I added some hardcoded "OUT" instructions to my player and it worked instantly; my real-time mixer output was played through the Sound Blaster! There was a lot of cleaning up the code to be done, but we were able to add support for the Sound Blaster in just one day.
The problems on hiring are mostly self imposed. I said mostly because there are some countries you can't trade with very easily. If you're hiring in the USA / Europe your problems are all self imposed.

Everybody insists on hiring employees while they could work with the same people if they worked through their own local company - and it could very well means the "employee" would receive 20-60% extra, due to being more tax efficient.
There are some complications in regards to giving shares but they can be sorted.

There are also third party companies that hire you in a specific country and charge 500-1000$ per month to do payrolls - but I wouldn't recommend: you lose on the tax benefits for the employee, the employee is still not your employee.
At least you got a PHD lol. I only found out I had ADHD recently, years after I dropped out and learned to code on my own. All throughout my life I had been ahead of my classes because I love learning, but I hated pointless exercises. I'd ace every test and then fail to turn in busy-work. I was ashamed of turning in unfinished stuff, or just plain didn't touch it.

I really used to beat myself up over the whole "wasted potential" feeling I'd get. Especially so after my teachers were fifty-fifty "you have great potential, apply yourself" and "you're a jackass, you won't amount to anything".

I always wonder how things could have been different. If I might've got into some irl engineering instead of software, or just advanced in my career faster, etc.

My biggest hope is that my sporadic deep dives into different subjects will eventually lead to a good idea to invest in, or some oss i can get sponsored to save me from the despair of competing/comparing against my neurotypical peers with degrees.

Startups are much more team work as compared to success in sports. And success of many startups can be attributed to being in the right circles rather than founder's skill/grit. The modern day founder hero worship is exaggerated imo.

I only mentioned solar/battery for brevity but clearly wind/battery is already substantial in many parts of the world. In addition, HVDC transmissions line costs are also dropping year by year and these allow solar/wind generated electricity to be inexpensively shifted across long distances.

For example, such a transmission line is currently being built to send solar energy from Northern Australia to Singapore across about 3000km of ocean. Another project is generating wind energy near Iceland and sending it to the UK a distance of 800km.

https://coldfusionnow.org/power-equivalent-to-the-sun-we-alr...

This is one aspect of the problem. THe another aspect is that we should create decentralized technology that everybody can use at home. It would make our world a much better place, much more resistant to many things (including terrorism). I think the small amount of virtually infinite energy is a much better option.

Heh, it's kinda stereotypical that a Russian citizen wouldn't notice the difference between themselves and Ukrainians.

From my perspective as a foreign observer, the average Russian tends to be much more badly behaved than a Ukrainian. When I hear someone speaking Russian being very loud and obnoxious, violent, lacking manners, showing little empathy and lots of entitlement, 9/10 (I'd say always but maybe I'm forgetting something) it's a Russian citizen, not a Ukrainian.

I'm speaking as a Russian ethnic who's not a Russian citizen.
I think "sandwich artist" for Subway is one that is condescending.

That being said I think most people still probably prefer this to the alternative. Being called a "associate" instead of "cashier" is still slightly more respectable to tell your friends/families. It also probably stresses to employees that their job is to represent the entire store - not just do a a task without regard for the customer experience.
This is basically true of any creative endeavour. It takes an insane amount of time/effort with very high opportunity cost.

I guess it's just a question of risk/desire. Are you willing to risk it for a chance, or opt for something more stable like an office job or the like.

I think the world is shifting towards more stability, like how uni degree is for getting a job.
It does. We are just not used to looking at it like this.

For example, if you are changing labels or adding buttons to a web app according to detailed instructions from a manager, then I would call that "programming".

If you are implementing an OAuth flow, or designing an API for some service, and doing so according to the current state of the art, you are "engineering".

If you develop a novel algorithm to solve a specific class of problems, you are "computer sciencing".

Obviously, there is some overlap between the tasks, and people will switch between the different parts depending on the stage of the project, but I don't think the titles can be chosen randomly.

ROK will toe the line - the country is dependent on its existence on US military power and has long since bent the knee. PRC will have to try and rebuild the entire IC supply chain from scratch, not feasible and even if so, will delay technological progress at least a decade.

Unless you give it permission.

> Then there's room for at least another 30% with no added storage.

It was midday, the added capacity you proposed doesn't cover half of what coal provide in the middle of the day, you wouldn't have spare energy to store. And the carbon footprint is still higher.

> A fifth of that coal and gas is being exported to france.

A tenth, see you speak about good faith and double numbers in your favor.

> And you carefully avoided mentioning their gas

You mentioned coal usage that was a lie, so I replied the real coal usage in France, which didn't have even the installed capacity to use the coal as you said.
About 10GW was used when I wrote my comment, which make the carbon intensity at 165 egCO2 per kWh.
It's 696 egCO2 per kWh for Germany.

You seems to endorse using fossil as a backup source for renewable.

Congratulations, that's exactly what want fossil fuel firms !
https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2015/jan/22/fossil-f...

> Very nice good faith discussion. You're definitely living in reality.

> Using gas for 500 hours a year while storage matures is definitely worse than using coal and sitting on your thumbs for 20 years while an EPR is built.

I don't know if you can make such statement when the reality you spew out is so far from what you even admit in your later comments.
You keep saying I don't live in reality, have bad faith, or lie, but you are the one who double numbers, or even invent them in this conversation.
You also are the one who have brough exactly 0 external sources through this conversation to backup your claims, well I understand it's complicated to do when you invent numbers as you go, but at least, show where your "reality" come from if it's not only in your head.

So on the one hand you’re complaining about regulatory bodies keeping standards for job titles. But on the other you’re gatekeeping the industry against people who don’t have traditional education. Surely the problem isn’t bootcamp grads, but rather the companies that would let an incompetent engineer get promoted to senior in the first place.

I do agree that keeping preventing Canadian developers from calling themselves engineers is a joke (let’s see them try and stop me)
I interviewed with them. I did well, they asked me to go to a final round but I had to abort. The people doing the technical tests were awful. I can't remember another time I've been treated so much like a child. Given that I was quite excited about the idea of joining, I put in a little extra work beforehand to learn their frontend stack etc. On hearing this they were not just dismissive, but actively condescending about it.

On one of the technical tests, after getting through the meat of it, instead of having a nice chat etc the interviewer spent some time doing what I consider as exploring any possible area he could trip me up on and trying to make me feel uncomfortable.

I actually felt a little physically ill after that interview. Usually I quite enjoy interviewing. Someone having a bad day? Could have been, but there were two people on each call. I don't wish to work somewhere where people act like that.
This article talks about the US as monolithic, but my limited understanding is that although SDF's key ally was the US Army, CIA had clandestinely been backing a different Syrian faction, so "the US" has never wholeheartedly been onside throughout.

The only evidence I can verify online, based on replay packs of DreamHack I managed to download, this link below [1], and other quantifiable sources such as discussions on the Team Liquid forums suggests that professional games are shorter than 12 minutes and about 7-9 minutes. But even for the sake of argument if you want to go with 12 minutes... 10 openers per race is incredibly small for a 12 minute game and only reinforces the point that for the average viewer, SC2 is quite repetitive.

Compare that to DOTA or LoL where the average match at the professional level is on the order of 30-45 minutes and the level of diversity in both of those games is astronomical.
