Culverts come in all sizes, even 10 foot diameter ones.

The problem with throwing $90 million dollars to build one is you cannot build very many at those prices. That means that predators will know they can hang around them picking off any herbivores that try to cross.

Culverts of various sizes can be placed - animals come in various sizes.
Ha....what do they call that... defenstration? Or some bs
imo, i can compare it to laziness. xp is all about being lazy. but the context matters here.

one lazy is just coping pasting stuff.
other is drying as you go. i have already written this line, why am i reapting it again. let me dry it. extract it, so next time i need not.
no two lines in my code should match. if they do extract.
i am lazy here. cause i don't want to copy paste next time.
i am lazy and will just dry.
second lazy is more what lazy means.
My response to the questions laid out will be massively biased towards what I myself have read, but regardless:

> I’m honestly shocked every time I read something like this. My first reaction is: where did this go so wrong? “Scepticism is violence”? Scepticism once was science! And everything I learned points to that it should be so.

The keyword that has to be pointed out is "violence".

From what I've been able to gather, there is a growing body of people within academic circles that view any & all conflicts as violent & destructive, and that should therefore be banned at all costs. The exceptions to that rule are when it comes towards the destruction of modernist ideologies, as a consequence of the mass application of post-modernist thought into STEM fields.

Reductively, they're engaging in a "Rules for thee, not for me" when it comes to academic rigor & objectivism: From a post-modernist lens, such qualia must be rejected in order to promote inclusion into the academic space, & that anyone not willing to follow this doctrine are engaging in "problematic behavior" as a consequence of such line of thinking.

> But then I think that I maybe get something wrong. Maybe I miss something on a deep level. Because so many seem to embrace “this” whatever it is. I can’t understand it. Can anyone?

As stated above, "this" is the systematic weakening of academic objectivism & rigor in order to promote inclusion into fields that had high requirements in the past. From a post-modernist perspective, they must be destroyed for the greater good.

I think a custom mechanical keyboard is going to be much nicer than a foot pedal.

Though, I'd encourage a custom keyboard where the thumb can reach 2-3 keys each (instead of only really being able to hit the spacebar). That way, you can put Esc on a thumb key. -- e.g. ZSA's moonlander or planck ez are nice.
Twitter has been a mixed bag anyway, for me at least.

That's not the only big challenge. The fuel pellets are 1mm diameter hollow spheres machined out of diamond to extreme precision and filled with a tiny amount of deuterium-tritium gas inside. The pellets need to be carefully cooled to cryogenic temperatures so that the gas condenses evenly around the inside of the pellet, in order to maintain the near-perfect geometry needed for ignition. Once the pellet is hit with the x-rays produced by the lasers striking the interior of the chamber (hohlraum), it compresses and the fuel undergoes fusion, vaporizing the whole package.

So it takes an incredible amount of precision engineering to produce these tiny diamond pellets of fuel which then produce an even tinier amount of energy while being destroyed in the process. There is no indication whatsoever that the pellets can be scaled up due to the incredible difficulty of scaling the precision geometry involved.

So I remain incredibly skeptical that this is anything more than hype for a project that's really about maintaining nuclear weapons stockpiles. I sincerely doubt this approach will lead to a real production power plant without some major research into how to overcome the requirement for extreme precision geometry and a similar effort to scale up the size of the reaction. Then throw the laser efficiency issue into the mix!

Transistors? Computers before them used vacuum tubes. In 1943 Thomas Watson, chairman of IBM, said, "I think there's a world market for maybe five computers." Now, it would be easy for us to laugh at him, thanks to us being almost 80 years in the future, but on the topic of "what does the future hold for us", put yourself in Watson's place. You're reasonably smart and knowledgeable, and understand what goes into a computer, and thus you'd make the same claim.

Fusion is similarly incomprehensible to us here and now. There are untold advancements in materials sciences and engineering technologies that need to happen before it's possible so we have to invest in trying to so we can make those advancements in order to make it possible.

Thank you. Monorepos of _that_ size is definitely far more complex and comes with certain issues that you mention. Although, I feel like you'll only hit that wall once you are _very_ large as a company and at that point, you'll also have resources to climb that wall.

And, related: anyone not knowing the basics of vi, can check out my vi quickstart tutorial below.
I had first written it at the request of two Windows sysadmin friends of mine, in a company where I was working at the time. They had been given additional charge of two Unix boxes and I wrote the tutorial to enable them to hit the ground running with common sysadmin editing tasks. After reading it and using Unix for a few days, they told me that it was useful and met their need.

The tutorial is small, so it can be read soon and you can start applying it right away:

Not convincing. This post:

* Aggregates disparate devices (e.g. PC, smartphone and watch)

* Mentions functional units which could theoretically be treated like a computer (e.g. Turing-complete) - but aren't a computer which acts independently.

* Counts cores as different computers, but - either a core is a computer, or the system with multiple cores is a computer. The computation a multi-core system does is having one of its cores run.

So basically, you'll be told about the on-Mobo chip for controlling its operations, and the Intel Management Engine and the AMD equivalent. Not worth the read IMHO.
Yes, you could use int32_t. But who wants to type that? People default to convenience, and that's int.

Besides, the C Standard Library doesn't even use stdint.h. Now you've got unknown implicit integer conversions going on. It's just not a solution.

I played quite a lot of league of legends (probably 10k games), but I stopped playing all compute games in the last two years.

Competitive games in general feel like STEM olympiads: you have an objective ranking, you have challenges, you have competitition. You deal with hard problems related to performance: how to keep improving? Which topics are hard for me?

It was crazily important for my personal development, but as with olympiads, eventually there isn't a lot of new things to learn, at least things that you will carry with you for life.

This reminds me of my Amiga 2000, because it's the first time I became fascinated by the number of extra CPUs, because my A2000 setup was a bit weird.

It had of course its main CPU, the 68000, and its CPU like copper. But it also had a 6502 compatible CPU controlling the keyboard. Then I put a SCSI controller in it that had a Z80 on it. And a 68020 accelerator board. Then I added a Janus PC card (the A2000 had an ISA bus in addition to the native bus and a Janus card let you run x86 PC software in a window on your Amiga desktop) with a 8086. Lastly I added a 286 accelerator to the PC side.

Of course the original 68000 and 8086 were not active, but having 4 processor families in a single box was fun.

Of course, this whole using Turing complete chips or whole CPUs other places than the main CPU is a much older thing. E.g. Commodore designs "borrowed" this from bigger computer systems when they put fully programmable 6502 based computers in their external floppy drives for their 8-bit line (you can load code into the memory of the 1541 floppy drive and execute it)

The number of CPUs took a temporary dip in the PC world for a while with e.g. increasing use of dumb IDE controllers instead of SCSI controllers which at the time often had CPUs/microcontrollers on them. But it didn't take long before the upward trend in number of CPUs resumed.
All of these QOI derivatives improves upon the coding efficiency AFAIK.

In QOIP, opcodes themselves are stored in the format, LZ4 or zstd compression

https://github.com/chocolate42/qoipond

QOIR adds: color profile, EXIF, premultiplied alpha, lossy mode, tile support, LZ4 compression, AFAIK it does this while beating the original QOI in terms of speed AND efficiency.

Lots of benchmarks in: https://github.com/nigeltao/qoir

QOIX is my very own version that adds: Greyscale [+alpha] 8-bit image support, lossy 10-bit support (16-bit encoded as 10-bit, intended for elevation maps), so it's really 3 codecs
, optional LZ4.

Indeed, if you can, I would avoid buying a new car with a combustion engine. As your car should have some more useful life time, of course it doesn't hurt to keep it running for a while longer. This allows you to watch as the market for electric cars expands. On the other side, when you absolutely need a new car and you find an electric car which fits to your requirements, it will continue to do so, even if the technology is further developed. This is, after all, the problem of buying any high-tech product, be it a new laptop or a new smartphone. Next years product always will be better, but when you need a new device and the offerings are suited to the purpose, then just buy one.

Archaeologists already use ancient DNA, and so much of folk archaeology has been proven false, and they are fine with that. Anthropologists seem to be outright hostile to empirical methods, which is crazy because they are an empirical science, and an important one.

I sort of like 1password, but I have to admit that on my personal macbook which is from mid 2015, if I am running anything moderately intensive (like a video game) then 1password drops about 20% of my keypresses when entering the master password if I enter it at my full typing speed. This is a huge pain because my password is long and I'm forced to type it slowly to avoid the drops.

Other text entry fields don't seem to suffer from this problem. AFAIK this wasn't a problem before the switch to Electron.

Rather than blocking things, I've found it more efficient to use the pomodoro technique and commit to no interruptions during working sessions. A 25-minute session is short enough, so that's a realistic commitment.

Did the talk offer any solutions to this? Its not like any of the secondary processors he could be talking about have any kind of open source support or even public specifications of their programmability or ISAs or similar.
Pedantically, yes, there is a fair bit larger set, but they really only get more and more esoteric (and often things that are allowed within the HTML syntax but where the content would be non-conforming). For example:

You can have an element called "foo:bar" in HTML, but you can't in XML-with-Namespaces-in-XML; likewise, you can have an element called "a\u0300" in HTML, but you can't in XML (and the set of possible element names is even more different if you're looking at an implementation of XML 1.0 4th Edition, which most are, rather than the much later 5th edition).

You can't have a comment that contains "--" or ends with "-" in XML. (This is potentially the thing that comes up most often in real world content: people like doing <!------ DON'T TOUCH THIS ------>, which in HTML produces a comment whose value is "---- DON'T TOUCH THIS ----", which you cannot represent in XML.)
They've perhaps not realized that effective lifespan of software is so short because it's SaaS.

> The ball was already rolling on Tesla before Elon came along though.

You clearly have different sources from me (which are primarily Wikipedia).

My understanding was that Tesla did not have:
- Ownership of the Tesla brand
- Any real funding. During the Series A founding in 2004, Elon contributed $6.5M / $7.5 total.
- An actual car. During the development of the Roadster, Elon was both Chairman and Architect/CTO.
- Employees, beyond Eberhard and Tarpenning.

Before Elon, Tesla seems to have been only one of many early stage electric car startups with poor prospects for their future.

As for the developments around 2008, it becomes speculation who is telling the more true story between Musk and Eberhard. But as for what both have achieved elsewhere, it seems to me that Musk is also more effective as CEO.

Maybe you have sources that can contradict the above.

> Is this word especially hard to write properly somehow?

Yes, as evidenced by your frustration. It was a poor decision to use that word as the name in the first place - hopefully it hasn't hampered adoption too much.
Yes there are many competing battery technologies in the works right now and I sincerely hope that one of them turns out to be manufacturable/scalable. Or any kind of energy storage becomes cheap at Terra-watt hour capacities.

But right now, it's just a bunch of 'maybes'. The fact that we don't have a solid plan RIGHT NOW for something so important is alarming. Everyone is just hoping it will work out. Maybe we'll find a good cheap battery. Maybe we can unify our grid and build thousands of miles of HVDC interconnects. Maybe we can find more pumped hydro sites.

In the absence of a buildable storage solution for renewables today, we should be building the only other scalable clean energy technology we have: Nuclear energy. No energy storage. No brand new grid. No massive expansion in mining. Thankfully, more people are coming around to this. No it won't cover 100% of our energy. But it is an incredibly underutilized tool. We should at a minimum, replace all coal power plants with nuclear.
