Scotland has a different legal system and even historically insisted upon separate versions of otherwise national concerns - for example that is why there is a "National Trust"[1] and a separate "Scottish National Trust".

Since the re-establishment of the Scottish Parliament this tendency has only accelerated.

> Scaling beyond 17k SLOC
[...]
> C++ full builds scale better than Rust

Chromium has millions of line of code not 17k, so, although the scaling test is fairly artificial, rust might get worse and worse as the project get bigger.
Paradoxically, the stupid include model of C++ allows to extract more parallelism form the build.

I wouldn't be surprised if C++ with modules has similar scalability behavior as rust though.

As always, it's a problem of balancing complexity vs. utility while striving to raise the level of abstraction.

With regards to TypeScript, any, unknown, never are perfectly valid types and plenty useful, just need to be used appropriately.
Storing the hydrogen and transporting it to where it is needed is probably the bigger problem. Hydrogen embrittles metal.
Well, nuclear could be cheaper.

Alas, in the real world because of public opinion and political pressure, it's almost impossible to build new nuclear power plants. And those that get build are crazy expensive and overengineered, and invariable overrun their schedule and budget.

We could simply give the coal workers a sort of "pension".

40k people at $60k a year is $2.4 billion/year, which is a tiny fraction of the annual $4.8 trillion federal budget. You can structure parts of this in different ways outside of a blanket cheque, such as ways to incentivize starting businesses, credits for free education, or whatnot. It's still a lot of money, but the benefits are probably worth it, IMO. If $24 billion/year in student loan forgiveness is possible then I don't see why this isn't.

Politically it's a non-starter so I don't expect anything like this will happen. The GOP seems more concerned with simplistic "culture war" chest-beating and the Dems don't seem overly concerned with the plight of the working class and have their own style of simplistic culture war chest-beating (albeit less egregious).
I tried Alpine.js a very long time ago. Managed to build some small web apps with Haml[0], but never everything big. It's generally very easy to use but when it comes to scaling it doesn't scale very well. Building a todo app with it requies many lines of JS objects, combined with that every object is defined in a string makes the code look a bit ugly. Useful for prototyping and small web apps if you dont want to use complex stuff.

1) Not working was illegal in USSR.

2) After graduation, you'd get an assignment for your first workplace. Technically you could choose, but in reality the choice was limited and it was more like companies headhunting students. There was no option to refuse all assignments and go on your own.

A partial opt-outs was to get married while in university. If your partner already has a job, then you'll probably get an assignment in same city. Although sometimes they'd just get your partner to move too :)

3) Hiring even for unskilled jobs was highly political. E.g. political prisoners of Stalin era, after returning, would have very hard time to get even a cleaner's job. If somebody had a specific position for you in mind, they had all tools to make it happen.

4) Changing jobs was pretty difficult. You couldn't just leave, move to another city and then look for another job. You couldn't get registration in another city without employment. You'd have to find a company that will agree to hire you first. And if you were needed at your current job... They could easily talk to that company to not hire you (after all both managers were members of the party). Unless that other company really wanted you and the manager had enough political weight to make it happen.

All in all, was it forced labor at gunpoint? No. But free will to pick employment was very limited to say the least.
So? WhatsApp had 35 developers and 350 million users. By that measure, every other company is grossly overstaffed.

I think it depends on you personality whether you are able to hide your insecurities or not. I also do not know whether it is a good thing to hide them, because they can surface in other forms, like anger, bitterness, revenge, depression, and/or indifference.

It is probably better to deal with your insecurities, your deepest fears. With that respect, I think that the litanry against fear (from Dune by Frank Herbert) has some deep meaning. Making your fear larger, and than asking yourself what it would mean in the end, can help to overcome your fears.

Another things that I have discovered is that breathing techniques can help. Slow and deep breathing is a great technique for finding calmness. Many meditation techniques involves a focus on breathing. I think you don't need to sit with you eyes closed in a certain position and/or and think (or not) about certain things. It also works when you are sitting behind your desk or when you are walking around.

It's important to keep in mind that automating tasks also improves quality. So even if it looks like time is wasted, preventing just a single mistake administering a customer's account can be worth a huge amount of earlier investment.

Also the time spent building the first tool probably includes a quantity of "overhead" (auth, logging, etc.) which gets quickly amortised on subsequent tools.
> you're already manipulating the system to encourage your preferred outcome.

That is a very one sided look at it. Any system encourages something.

If you make improvements simply to make the overall system operate better then its not manipulation towards a better outcome.

> Also, how are you going to get something like that passed without the agreement of the delegates?

That is literally the problem any system of democracy has. Every system of democracy has some established initial rules and must evolve from there. Those that have good initial rules tend to evolve better but many things have an effect.

And you do it the same way in liquid system as in any other system, politics. You try to find a group that supports it for some reason, even for not the same reason. You get together those that have not delegated, you mobilize those that have delegated and try to inform them that their delegate is changing their interest and you find some that already have 'super' status that they could actually gain votes in that are now tied up 'bad' delegates.

Of course all evolution of rules in democracy is always a huge bitch but that doesn't make liquid democracy systems different form other systems.

And just like with every other system of democracy it makes sense to establish best practices and it makes sense to learn and improve the system over time. When somebody knew wants to use it they have a better starting point.

So the second point is kind of pointless, just because some improvement maybe wouldn't be adopted in an already existing system doesn't mean its not a worthy improvement. Just as we know Range voting would be have huge improvement over existing voting systems. Nobody sane today would design a first past the post voting system with single delegate districts.

Way too many Americans claim to play D&D, but in fact it's so far homebrewed it's a Theseus's Ship.

But D&D is synonymous for table-top roleplaying to Americans, that's what they have to do. Even the super famous podcasts where professional actors play "D&D" are barely using the official rules, they're more for flavour than actual mechanics.

I'm secretly hoping that this will actually push American players and GMs to consider other, better fitting, options for their games. If you want to play a sci-fi romp, maybe don't try to shoehorn it to D&D. Same with detective stories in a steampunk world.

Actually the concept is easy as those diagrams demostrate. It's the syntax in ssh that's hard to grasp. They should keep the current one forever but deprecate it. Then add a parallel syntax easier to understand. Example

ssh connect
remote myserver:80
to local 172.27.17.2:8080
one-way

The syntax should totally do away with the concept of tunneling, connecting ports is easier to grasp IMHO.
BTW I'm not sure that the "one-way" argument is really needed.
But not nearly as manageable. Imagine saying the same thing about music, for example. Musical notation is clearly more work than just humming a tune, but there's still a need for it.

Benchmarks are generally useless unless they test real world scenarios. The DataBricks data warehouse record costed $5,190,345 USD to run over a period of 3 years. If I spend that amount of money, I will get fired.

Such benchmarks also ignore the engineering expertise an organisation has. Do you need to be an expert to fine tune 6000 parameters or can you tune the system to an acceptable standard by reading a few blogs.

Some people pointed out the actual query only coated $242. My counter argument is that this appears to be based on buying reserved instances from AWS for 3 years. In real life this query would also run daily, or at least you would need several iterations to get the results you want.

The costs also include a super low budget laptop ($279). It is more than fine for running the query, however, you wouldn't use it a development machine. This shows these results have been heavily massaged.

I haven't followed the technology very closely, but it was my understanding that large scale storage of hydrogen isn't here yet, if it ever will be?

And even if you built out more transmission, you're still limited by how far you can go. On top of that the infrastructure needed to transmit over large distances (1000km) is huge. Then there's a bunch of regulatory red tape to cut through, NIMBY push-back etc.

It's unlikely that a power company has the time, resources, and money to set up such massive transmission projects on top of their core business.

However, it's relatively easy to truck in a bunch of shipping containers filled with ASICs and connected with satellite internet (if in remote areas). Boom, you've just turned negative power prices into positive prices literally overnight.

Maybe such a cost saving gives them the additional capital they need to tackle the larger projects of hydrogen storage or transmission?
Amazon does polyrepo by the way. Unfortunately, they don’t talk about it.
It's a matter of perspective. For the consumer and the economy as a whole competition is of course a good thing. GPs comment was something has gone terribly wrong from the perspective of Tesla. From their perspective of course they would prefer to maintain a monopoly rather than have competition.
I am quite surprised at the turn out in the comments here against adding type checking to JavaScript.

In my opinion, TypeScript is not only essential in the context of any professional project, but it features one of the most ergonomic type systems I have ever worked with.

There are certainly pain points with certain TypeScript features (e.g. enums) but any project that takes me longer than 5 minutes to write, I need type checking. If I can't be bothered with setting up tsc - and setup difficulty is a valid criticism - I just use jsdoc.

I have seen TypeScript take the heat when applied to JavaScript projects that implement multiple trendy programming paradigms. Often times the projects themselves are so complex that adding a type system requires type-kungfu. It's not the type system at fault - but a needlessly complex architecture.

Love TypeScript. Wish there was anything like it that compiled down to static binaries.
The rotary dialer was designed the way it was not from human input point of view but to mechanically generate the different number of pulses for each number, necessary for dialing. Phones thankfully moved on with the arrival of electronics which allowed a more human friendly interface.

But we still use keyboards with the same form factor that was dictated by mechanical typewriter constraints. I'm not talking about QWERTY but the whole device. Think about your unnatural posture when writing both hands on a keyboard. We could do a lot better but for some reason things like split keyboards haven't caught on. Path dependency is one tremendous force.
I was fully expecting Alpine Linux running in a browser when clicking the link. I am disappoint.
For me it breaks when people try to make scripts/tools that are doing too much. Because at some point these break for variety of reasons.

Then wrapping my head around monster script is additional work I need to do on top of understanding system that is changed.

I argue that it might be quicker to understand system on its own and make changes manually than rely on someone else script.

In the end if script works it works time money saved - when it breaks it is more work and now there are 2 things one has to figure out.

That is why I'd rather have smaller scripts that do parts of bigger job instead of someone dropping "just run this and it will do everything for you" type of scripts.

So MOND does predict more galaxies at high redshift however it also predicts earlier reionization than LCDM which it turns out not to be true and the mass function of clusters is not what we see purely based on X-ray temperatures.

You enjoy working with dynamic typing. It more aligns with how you think and program. That's okay!

TypeScript may never be worth it, to you, and that's okay too! Not everyone likes and appreciates static typing.

If you ever do come to the datk side and think TypeScript is worth your time, it will be because that part is not a time waster but a time saver.

The easy way out is to change the name to "ASF" and not use the full name "Apache Software Foundation". The downside is that it now becomes the "ASF Foundation" which is a big pill to swallow for the purists.

They don't need to change the internal use of 'apache'.

The ASF will keep 'apache.org' but the huge problem is that they will NEVER accept to add a reference on the front page of the website "If you want to find more about the Apache indigenous tribe, click here".
I don't agree that typescript makes writing code hard. I believe the opposite- it makes writing code easier. Editor integrations are a godsend, even the minor things like auto-imports makes writing code easier.

More functionally, I also find Typescript's type refinement to help make sure I'm properly using the data and understand the state of it after I've done some checks.

Actually, HTMX has a fundamental flaw if it comes to history restoration: In some scenarios it takes snapshots of the DOM for history navigation, just before navigating away from a page. If the DOM was previously modified by other JS libraries like Alpine, jQuery or any other tool, these changes end up in the history snapshot, leading to unexpected results [1]. I've had a much smoother experience with Alpine + swup [2]. Disclaimer: I became a maintainer of swup this year.

Deforestation is historic, your comment implies it is recent.

We know from comprehensive aerial photographs of the UK taken by Germany in the 1930s/40s that the UK has much more forest coverage now than it had then.

The UK switched to coal beginning in the reign of the first Queen Elizabeth because of the lack of forests providing a source of wood. The current reforestation projects have nothing to do with "an issue with winds getting too strong because of deforestation". There isn't any recent deforestation - just the opposite in fact.
This was blown way out of proportion by the press for about a week a few months ago.

Of course you can. Not the concrete, secret cases, but the mechanisms of oversight, checks and balance, etc.

Here in germany we don't have the exact same thing, but something similar. And also a trusted comitee from the parliament, that checks indeed secret cases. And there were special comitees formed to investigate many wrongdoing, related to nazi and islamic terrorism, where the services fucked up big time.
