Easy.

Just do whatever you're doing in docker natively in macos. Python, Nodejs, Ruby, Rust, Postgres, etc can all run as native macos processes.

The big advantage (aside from performance) is that you gain access to all the OS-native debugging capacities. You can just look at files, open multiple terminal sessions in the same folder, use Profiler, click the debug button without special configuration in your IDE, and so on. All without needing to think about VM images, docker containers, networking and all that rubbish.

The downside is you need to set up a second build environment (which might not match your deployment environment). Unless you're doing something truly special, setting up a macos-native build environment is usually pretty easy. Its normally just a few "brew install" / "npm" / "gem install" / "cargo build" etc commands away from working.
The court must be convinced that the parties involved are good for it or they would not have accepted the surety. The point of bail is just to ensure you show up to court, not to collect a windfall of profit for the state.
Not sure I agree.

Many countries were already on the path to using more and more oil. And many countries simply don't have coal resources, see Switzerland needing coal imports from Nazi Germany.

So in energy terms I think the use of oil naturally leads to globalization as people had few other options.

Coal is more widely distributed and would likely have seen some more use, but oil and gas were gone increase in use WW2 or not.

This is not likely true, and it is definitely not necessarily true.

There are quite likely people out on bail who have (1) committed at least one crime, (2) never been identified and arrested or charged for any crime that they have committed.

I think that definitely applies when you have updatable software or software that interacts with something updatable, but less so for the 8 bit embedded MCU stuff typically used to replace hardware.

If you, say, use a microcontroller to soft start a motor instead of making it bigger, or use a capsense pad instead of a switch(Yes they can be obnoxious, but at least they last!), you are unlikely to get into a permanent bricked state because you're not writing to flash at all.

Your failure modes might increase in number as software complexity increases, but for the most part they stay ephemeral.

I'm not sure exactly why experiences are so varied on things like smart TVs and WiFi printers. I have the "Smart" version of almost everything, and it usually works very well, but some people seem to have generally bad experiences.

I think some of it might be because they only test on fairly generic consumer setups with the latest stock Android, no firewall, no VPN, Bluetooth never turned off, no custom DNS, gmail for the email account, etc, and more tech savvy people tend to have a few things that modern tech doesn't like.

It always seems like people who tinker have problems other people don't. I also notice iOS users seem to have trouble with random gadgets and peripherals not being too happy, but a my iPhone using friends aren't a big sample size.

What level of rape/murder is acceptable from criminals who have not yet been charged with a crime?

The answer is the same as for your question, so unless we are going to preemptively detain everyone not yet charged with a crime, I don't see how the answer to your question can imply we should lock up people who are charged but not convicted.

If Joe tells the judge "Your Honor, I'll sign a paper that says I'll be $25,000 in debt if I don't show up, but my family can only come up with $200 right now" the judge will probably tell him to pound sand and sit in jail until trial.

If SBF tells the judge "Your Honor, I'll sign a paper that says I'll be $250M in debt if I don't show up, but my family can only come up with $2M right now" why did the judge agree and let him out?

You're not wrong. Ocaml, Haskell, etc are pretty slept on, and have some amazing features, and I 100% think people should be more open to using them.

In my space (data engineering and associated systems), Rust is a much more palatable and easier sell than an Ocaml or a Haskell.

> With faster compiler toolchains and REPL like tooling.

TBH I don't really miss a REPL, I know a lot of people love it, but between the type system, tooling like RA, and how Rust makes writing tests _so_ frictionless, I've not really had any need to touch a REPL in the last ~2 years. I've probably been abusing the frictionless test functionality to write little snippets to test out using a new library or tool, I certainly find it a lot manual work than the "type multi-line snippet into repl. Make a typo. Start it all over again. Discover that part x actually wants a y. Write it all over again. Repeat until correct. Painstaking trawl through repl history to find the set of code that actually does what we want and lift it into our actual code base" experience I have with reps-based development.

> Windows probably on par if not more for "work stuff" but falls badly in the coding & tooling department.

This is absolutely false. Windows is a perfectly fine development environment and has perfectly fine tooling. You just need to embrace powershell, windows tooling, and use cross platform tools. Too many devs put themselves in a corner by relying on posix shell or posix only tooling.

If you do user space programming your host OS should never matter. In my 10 years of programming the only time the host OS mattered was when I was writing Linux drivers.
The other factor is that the price is necessarily much higher for exports than for domestic use, because converting NG to LNG and transporting it via ship is difficult and expensive. For domestic use, none of that is necessary. NG isn't like coal that you can just shovel onto a ship and haul across the ocean to burn somewhere else, it's a gas.

> You’re complaining about rent-seeking, but failing to understand that this isn’t an argument over whether there will be rent-seeking or not.

It absolutely is. Copyright in its current state is the epitome of rent seeking and its ever expanding lengths are the perfect example of regulatory capture. Copyright is people and corporations collecting rent from works they made over half a century ago and using the profits to lobby governments into extending their monopolies even further.

At some point it stops being about fair incentivization of creators and it became about rent seeking. I really have no idea what's controversial or "hyperbolic" about this statement.

> Personally, I’d certainly rather default to giving creators money over copiers, wouldn’t you?

For five to ten years, sure. After that much time, works belong in the public domain.
Not the person you were asking but I have a mental algorithm I use that produces unique salt for each website. When I run into issues about special characters not being accepted, I replace them with the number equivalent. For example 5 instead of %.

I still use a password manager I can reference if my algorithm isn't working for some reason.
> There's a litany of bugs in Apple's software.

Personally, the only problems I've only ever had getting macos to sleep properly has been when I've been running VMs. (Hello docker!)

When doing purely OS-local development (which is all I ever do these days, because I value my sanity) macos works great. (So long as you have a recent mac. New macos + old laptop is awful.)

But as nice as macos is, XCode is an absolute mess. Earlier today I was trying to import a swift package into xcode. The package looked fine, but XCode for some reason was only importing it as a "Folder Reference". Stackoverflow suggested quitting xcode and running "xcodebuild -resolvePackageDependencies", then relaunching xcode. And that fixed it! Why was that necessary? Why couldn't xcode figure that out on its own? What did that even do?? I have no idea. And I hate it.

These days developing in apple's ecosystem feels less like developing in a walled garden and more like developing in a swamp. They're truly lovely developer machines - just so long as you can stay away from xcode.
I can say it helped me in my early 20's. I was "in my shell" up until I started going to bars and dance clubs once I hit about 21 to 22. Having just enough alcohol in me to not be shy helped build a social group, but it was still fun to go out even on nights that I would stick to soda or water.

However depending on the bar I went to, some of them were more pleasant if I was drinking. When I was sober, I really couldn't stand to be around a bunch of less-than-sober people (they were no longer funny or interesting). But I had the opposite experience with other crowds. Weird how that works out sometimes.

Now at my age (and without being a regular drinker), if I have one drink I'm ready to go to bed.
Starting in the year 2000.

Assuming avg cost of 5 billion $ per APR-1400 and building 50 reactors over a 25 year span. The cost of that would have been $250 billion. Assuming also they would not have shut down their existing reactor fleet.

This would basically result in 100% green energy for all of German consumption.

If you want to add future proving for electric, cars and trucks, add say 10-20 extra reactor.

This results in a increase of the % to GDP ratio from around 60% to around 70% and that debt given reactor live-time of 80 years could have been financed at something like 1% yield.

There is no universe where this isn't a better deal for Germany.

And P.S: Yes I know the APR-1400 was licensed in 2002 in Korea, I just took it as a reasonable example of a modern PWR.
