Whatever value Twitter has to provide to the noble pursuit of science is completely unadulterated. Despite rabid fear mongering, Musk hasn’t made it any harder to share or read tweets and that’s the entire feature set of Twitter.

It’s the ideological hegemony that’s being threatened, and even that’s probably still over dramatic. The political movement of “science” is at an all-time high and I don’t see how any of Twitter’s changes are impacting that. If there’s any good science being done we’d all like to hear it, but it sounds like the scientific establishment is more worried about their ability to continue developing their power unchecked.

The absence of religion has left a spiritual black hole in our society and there are many forces eager to fill it.

There are some product categories for which no strong options exist. For example, contemporary, top-of-the-line Kitchen Aid mixers have intermittently been produced with plastic motor parts. Go look at the reviews for sewing machines.

Klein tools, which have historically been super high quality, made in USA, has started mixing in cheaper made in china products. Chippewa boots (Warren Buffet company) same.

These are examples in a sea of examples. This is a trend.

MBA types move into companies with brand trust and loyalty built slowly for decades, and mortgage it for shot-term profits by slipping in cost cutting measures. It takes consumers a while to catch on, and by then the execs have a nice line item for their resume. Or the holding company behind the changes divests, leaving a hollowed out husk of a brand behind them.
The author states:

>"When a pod performs a DNS lookup, the query is first sent to the local DNS resolver in the pod. This resolver uses the resolv.conf configuration file. In this file, the nodelocaldns server is set up as the default recursive DNS resolver, which acts as a cache."

and then:

>"Here's the TLDR. When a pod performs a DNS lookup, the query is first sent to the DNS cache on the node where the pod is running. If the cache does not contain the IP address for the requested hostname, the query is forwarded to the cluster DNS server."

It's somewhat bizarre to include an optional add-on component such a node-local DNS as part of a discussion about the default name resolution flow in Kubernetes. It is only towards the end of the post that the author mentions that node-local DNS is not actually a default component in Kubernetes.

Cultural maybe? With the relative VC disparity US tech is biased toward shipping fast in framework of the week for capital... perhaps Eastern Euro developers are more craft-oriented?
I spent a huge amount of time coding in VB5 and VB6 in the 1990s and early 2000s during high school and my first years of college for hobby projects. Definitely felt like the most fun language and I was far more productive than in C/C++/Java/Pascal. With some work areas that needed to be optimized could be to be pretty fast when compiled. Everything was integrated and a good debugger.

I didn't get the hate. Maybe software engineering folks don't want coding to be fun and productive.
It depends. Lin and Larry Pardey do recommend them in heavy winds and seas, but they use a fairlead from the stern or midship to pull the sea anchor to an angle off to the side so that the boat lies at 50-ish degrees to the wind.

It's basically an aid to help with heaving-to. They are big fans of heaving-to in dangerous seas, and have collected a lot of anecdotes from other sailors who also recommend it as a heavy weather tactic.

It's certainly a good solution if you've got a full or mostly full keel. Light cruising boats may not fare as well, though some correspondents indicate that it works for them as well. My daysailer heaves-to with it's swing keel, but I only use it to go below to make lunch or whatever.

But you are very correct. Deploying a sea anchor can be very dangerous if you're not exceedingly careful, and retrieving them is a gigantic PITA.
At which price point?
I would take that today!
It’s worth noting we’re really bad as a species in judging long term negative impacts and hyper focus on short term tragedy. Point 1 is fair, but how wrong coal burning has been over an extended time frame is far worse than all of nuclear. It’s the whole plane crash vs car crash issue.
They’re on the dole. Why would you work when you can stay home and get paid just as much if not more?

Oh, boy. This is 1950s propaganda against nuclear weapons and is 180 degrees from what hapend, and is just an attempt to create a chicken and egg circular argument. The military investment is what enabled widespread civilian nuclear power - for example, the US Navy trained thousands of engineers, operators, technicians and electricians who made it possible to build and staff civilian reactors.

There are many industries like nuclear where the drive for military superiority led to the birth, acceleration, and sustenance of entire industries. We don't like to admit it sometimes, but if you look at Silicon Valley, you can see the military roots that gave rise to the semiconductor industry and internet industries in plain sight.

Arguing that nuclear submarines are somehow subsidized in your electric bill is a far, far stretch - if anything those submarines are subsidizing the utility company, training their future employees and most importantly guaranteeing the viability of the government that issued the bonds to build the power plant, and guarantees the safety of it's operation.

Thanks!
The terminal still has and always will have great potential as the glue that holds all computing together. Users refine their skill in a few, interoperable and flexible standard tools, and any command that turns out to be useful can immediately be part of a script that automates and simplifies this task forever.

It all hinges not necessarily on more fanciness in the terminal, but on the availability of data to work on, on other systems to open their data to the terminal in some way. Many SAAS tools have no interest or incentive to do that; is the trend going away from data available the terminal? Example, Kibana and Splunk are silos that provide powerful ways to analyze logs - what else could you possible want more?

Well, even the most sophisticated logfile queries can be repetitive, and those advanced search patterns could be distilled into a script that follows the user's hunches, add a bit of an ad-hoc regression test, correlate it with data from elsewhere, take user input from log files and use it in automated tests, maybe feed it all into a terminal based statistical analysis tool? I don't see myself doing any of that, the devs want a clickable link to the relevant Kibana and they are getting that.

More colors in terminals are nice but is it enough to make a difference?
> well this is embarrassing

No worries. I tried to only add more content :-)
Anarchism is an interesting topic, and learning about it has lead me down some interesting paths of learning and thought.

At its core, it’s the position of being against hierarchies of power where humans dominate those with less power. In simple terms, it’s being against humans dominating each other.

The big question is can we have a functioning society with less human domination and how far can we reduce it? That’s a deep question that involves everything from economics to the study of human nature.

In terms of human nature, I think people are far too quick to ascribe certain behaviors to human nature.
Excellent point. Shinjuku station in Tokyo is the busiest train station in the world by passengers, and it does not have high speed rail ("shinkansen").
Sure but until it is actually utilised and proven to work on the scales required for existing nuclear deployments it still remains an estimate and not a precise cost.

>but also considered a luxury brand

Who is considering it a luxury brand? Maybe teenagers on the school playground, or in developing nations where a iWatch costs over a month's average wage (I'm from a developing nation).

But in the west (US, Sweden, etc) it's far from being a luxury brand of any kind. It's just a gadget/tech brand making stuff that almost anyone there can afford. Hardly comparable to something like LVMH.
Interesting that you call out venv creation as a UX problem. I never considered it any worse than having to `cargo new` a project. I find having to activate and deactivate vs trust a 3rd party project that watches my every `cd` a much bigger issue.
I have some anecdotal evidence to the contrary on refrigerators. I want a fridge to do one thing. Keep food cold. No ice maker, no water, no godforsaken app, or camera on the inside. Make a robust, reliable cooling system that's built to last. That's the only thing I want to pay for.

Now do grid scale batteries. "Renewables" have the same issue and are looked at rather uncritically. We dig boreholes like this on a regular basis, all that's left is tossing the waste containers in.
I don't have an alternative for Wikipedia. I'm saying we shouldn't lean into any (always seductive) way of thinking that demonises people who disagrees with our one true way of doing things. People should be herded cats; neither wild cats nor herded sheep.
Very tangential, but I took a compiler course my senior year of college. It was a graduate level with (in my opinion) one of the best professors in the department. He maintains a known-name ML compiler (not NJ) and has studied language theory his entire career, plus he's an excellent teacher and general person.

I worked my ass off in the class and it was a blast. Aced all the projects and almost all the homework assignments. The exams were fine too, except one section, parsing algorithms.

I had just started seeing a girl the week before our week on LR, LALR, LL, etc, and my mind did a lot of wandering during those two lectures. I had everything down for that class, except I had so little knowledge of parsing algorithms. I didn't realize how little I knew until the exam where I lost 30 points to parsing questions. That ended up dropping me to an A-.

Now whenever I see parsing algorithms mentioned, I get a little laugh. Time with a girl was definitely worth the missed points for a nerdy computer science student.

This is the site (I believe - there were a few) I used to help scrape a basic understanding together to prep me for the final exam, so I definitely recommend.
> Because it is enormously expensive and have always been subsidized by taxes or ratepayers.

I don't understand what this means. Are you suggesting there are utilities not funded by taxes?

Power generation will always be expensive and heavily subsidized by the state along with Water and agriculture.

Coal is the next best thing. Plentiful, cheap, super polluting.

I'm not sure a grid can rely on solar and wind. They are getting cheaper ofcourse but they need a lot of land, high maintenance, and not exactly the most reliable. We wil figure it out eventually.

Anarchists seem to think they have a monopoly on mutual aid, but it turns out that police agencies are all about it as well. At least where I’m at, people think that mutual aid is the secret sauce they have to defeat the efforts of the state, not realizing that just in Portland they have the city, multiple counties, Metro, and several neighboring suburbs strategically sharing resources and cooperating, even across state lines.

I observe that mutual aid between well-structured and stable organizations of well-trained people is even more effective than mutual aid between lone actors and temporary self-organizing cliques.
It is more that nuclear hasn't been competitive against natural gas in places that have natural gas since 1980.

Betting on renewables + batteries in 2022 is like betting on the fast breeder reactor in 1955. There certainly is going to be development in batteries and other forms of storage in the next decade but we don't know where the minerals will come from, we'll have more grid scale batteries catch on fire, face more challenges siting solar farms because, as a major land use, they could affect endangered species, etc.

There will be progress there but remember that decarbonization is not just replacing the current electricity grid but it also involves replacing gas appliances with electric appliances, using electricity for heat in buildings (probably with heat pumps), electric cars (that people will want to charge at night and thus require more grid storage as well as competing for battery materials), replacing industrial uses of energy, synthesizing e-fuels for aviation and other special applications, etc.

Nuclear as we know it faces two problems: (1) the steam turbine and heat exchangers of the LWR are enormous such that an LWR would have a hard time competing even if the heat was free, (2) every country other than Russia has built LWRs sporadically and faced terrible project management problems; China is catching up with Russia with their Hualong One (4 completed in the past 2 years, 12 under construction now.) Long term the industry has to get rid of the water to get the temperature up so the powerset can be made more economical and you can use the heat for industrial applications such as thermochemical hydrogen, with the big plus that a reactor without a moderator can get roughly 50x the energy out of a pound of natural uranium than LWR.
AMC plunges after theater company announces capital raise, reverse stock split
Much like cybersecurity, the safety of nuclear at this point pretty much comes down to people, and whether or not they choose to invest in the best practices or if they get too lax. Right after a nuclear accident, the math suddenly looks different to the bureaucrats and investing in safe, reliable operation suddenly becomes worth it again.
Excuse me the Washington Post was just reporting on what scientists said. Therefore if you question or mock this you are an anti-science racist. I mean who else but shark-adjacent racists would come up with the name "Great White"?

What it demonstrates is that people with equal investing skills will see radically unequal outcomes, based entirely on their pre-existing wealth. Presumably you could update this model to give some people “better investing skills” and others worse skills. (In practice you’d just bias the coin flip against the ‘worse’ investors.) I suspect that once inequality has crept into the game then even having “better investing skills” is outweighed by the advantage of being already-rich. But I haven’t run the simulation to see how much investing advantage gets wiped out by wealth inequality: seems like it would be a fun project to code up with my 15y/o.
1. Sure, I think there are degrees of consent

- people enthusiastically lining up to get the latest sneaker / iPhone.

- mildly enthusiastic grocery shopping.

- overpriced medical drugs due to a monopoly.

- taxation.

- outright theft at gunpoint

2. Insightful, thanks. I think one variable the model doesn’t account for is time (which is not multiplicative and scarce).

Money and power can be multiplicative so maybe most of us are playing the non-multiplicative game of spending our time to make money, while the rich are leveraged time to play multiplicative games where they spend money to make more money and happened to win a bunch of times.
Don’t play everything (or everytime); let some things go by. Some music just imagined.

It seems to me an ordinal rule of business is, in order to scale, sell systemic solutions to customer's problems, instead of selling mere widgets.

I interpret this change as communicating 'iPhone is a system whose benefits are predicated on the hardware being omnipresent.'

When you're on vacation and a stranger offers to take your photo and they can just airdrop it to you? When you can retrieve lost keys with an AirTag? When you put that fun sticker on an iMessage? That's not 'an iPhone', it's 'iPhone' and it's what a lot of people are really paying for these days, I think.

If weight is the issue, well fine. But they deliver (back of the envelope) 37W per square meter. While conventional panels deliver ~200.

So any application that's space-limited, these are not a win. And isn't that, every home installation?

this happened to me on Monday.. I was on MediaTemple which was sucked into GoDaddy a while back but just last week actually migrated my server to theirs. Over 10yrs of flawless service, then a few days after the migration this happens. The kicker is that I host my client portal for ad campaign reviews there, and a large client + ad agency were reviewing while it happened, both saw it. For me it's super intermittent, like 1/200+ reloads, but my clients both saw it multiple times. Horrific, I'm still dealing with the fallout. It's on status.godaddy.com now, "We are currently investigating reports that a subset of customers' websites are at times being incorrectly redirected." "incorrectly redirected" lol you can say that again

“iPad” is short and unique. Easy to remember, to say, and to search for.

Compare it with the discontinued “Galaxy Note.” Although it is not a tongue twister, it is two words, neither of which is unique to Samsung on its own. “Galaxy Tab” has the same issues.

Samsung’s product names are not bad. But “iPad” definitely has the advantage of pithiness and uniqueness.

Our SQL course in uni left a lot to be desired. Very little time spent on join, much more on subqueries, oddly. My first job our of school there was a SQL portion and they were impressed by my overuse of subqueries.

I've run into this issue with jeans. They develop holes around the crotch six months after buying a new pair.

A decade ago I'd buy jeans and they'd last years. Unfortunately my waist line has since increased and none of those survivors now fit me.

I started with Levi 511s and -- when they started failing -- moved to Nudie Jeans (2x price) as they offer free repairs. When I tried to get them repaired though I was told there was a six week waiting time which seemed excessive.

Next I went with a local atelier (3x price) figuring if I spent more that would solve the problem but it happened again.
