If you like eating nuts, I suggest buying them with the shells. Pecans, pistachios, walnuts, heck even peanuts. You can still roast them so they taste better, but the shell slows you down a lot. Get a small bowl and when the bowl is full of shells, you stop eating them.

I live in a city (Portland, OR) with an extensive public transportation system, and I own and drive a car for my daily commute. Whenever there are presidential visits or public holidays the public transportation system often grinds to a halt, leaving people late for work by hours. The public transportation system here also exposes people to secondhand smoke from hardcore drugs and also exposes people to violent crime. Commuters and families are often witnesses to public drug scenes. Last year more than a few people were violently assaulted on our public transportation. I am someone who very much likes to take the train or the bus or even ride my bike to work but I recognize that public transportation often fails at the margins. I am a person who values reliability and consistency - public transportation just doesn’t have the uptime or resiliency that I require. Because I live in the northwest and like to enjoy the great outdoors I need a vehicle to get me to trailheads that buses and trains cannot access. I also need a vehicle to carry my large art supplies I take into the wilderness.

I've been using Bevy recently, and definitely have the same feeling around future potential.

Being designed for ECS first should in theory open up a lot of potential for optimizations well beyond traditional OO game engines. You can already see that many parts of the game loop/workflow is parallelized.

I've been rendering procedurally generated chunks via Bevy's task system, and it's pretty insane how fast it is. Can generate meshes from millions of (live function queried) points and render the results with lighting, etc in a second or so leveraging SIMD and threading.

Rust really feels like the ideal language to replace C/C++ for gamedev.

I mean, it probably depends on the nature of the startup? Platform-as-service seems particularly sensitive to reliability (whether or not it's "#1 feature"), in a way that might not be true of startups in other spaces.

> The demand for older compact S-10 and the old compact rangers is sky high. Make them legal again.

Wouldn't the Ford Maverick be the modern version of these? It comes in two different forms as far as I can tell - the "truck shaped car" (FWD, hybrid powertrain), and the "small truck" form (4WD, no hybrid, rather lower fuel economy), depending on what you need it to do. And in a small truck, I think FWD vs the 2WD/RWD Rangers is probably the right option - some of those were pretty tail happy in the slick.

You can't just say making a "truss building unit" would take a spider 10550 hours of labor, or that spiders operating TBUs will produce truss 416 times faster - show me the design for this spring powered truss builder that takes precisely 3 hours and 3 minutes to produce a unit of truss; show me the spider that builds it, show me the steps along the process of the spider assembling the unit, show me where these numbers are coming from. It would be one thing if these were rough order of magnitude estimations, but the level of precision implies that not to be the case.

>Trucks have gone from the cargo bed being >60% of the usable length (ignoring the engine), to the (crew) cab being >60% of the useable length. Pickup trucks gone from thing-haulers to people-haulers, in which case, why bother with that form factor?

The bed was always a mixed-use people hauler. Then they made that illegal. Go to Mexico, Iraq, Philippines and other places where it's still tolerated or legal in most places and the bed continues to be a people hauler. It's in part the cab got bigger because you couldn't put the people in the bed anymore, not because more people started riding in the trucks.

If you want more bed and less cab again, make it legal for the passengers, kids, etc to ride in the bed again. Like we did when I was a kid. If not, don't be surprised when you make something illegal people adapt the vehicle to deal with it.

New developers have the most to learn about technology. Teaching them that technology is less important than “people” is counterproductive and harmful unless you anticipate them moving to a PM, managerial, or technical sales track.

Furthermore, as someone who just replaced a roof, “I did not care one whit about the shingle type” is frankly insane. As a homeowner, you are your only advocate. If you don’t care, you will be taken for a ride — either by someone actively malicious, or purely incompetent.

Applying the point more broadly, somebody trusted in a position of authority must understand the technology, or you’ll get poor technology. Developers are supposed to be that somebody trusted in a position of authority.

I looked up your title — “Head of Developer Relations”. Of course people matter more than technology for you — you’re not a developer! People are literally your job!
> There is only so much that can be gleaned from found evidence. The customs and assumptions of our time also affect the way we reconstruct these stories and civilizations.

This is partially true. However, modern anthropologists and historians are very aware of this, and spend a lot of time trying to make sure they do not push bounds of what evidence can suggest. Popular anthropologists and historians generally do not share the same care, and pseudoanthropology dives into extrapolation with abandon.

> Even when closely examining large structures like the Great Pyramid, there's evidence of engineering that far surpasses our own[3][4].

Uh... no. There is a tendency to simultaneously underestimate the precision achievable with low technology tools while overestimating the precision of important megalithic architecture. This is what produces hyperbolic claims such as "evidence of engineering that far surpasses our own."

The best theories are the ones that can marshal several different kinds of evidence, including experimental archaeology, recovery of artifacts with detailed microstructure analysis, as well as any available cultural evidence. In the case of the pyramids, how they were built is not a mystery, for we have recovered the tools used to build it from the quarries that sourced the stone, and we also have the pictures they painted to depict themselves building it. To ignore all of that evidence in favor of advanced machinery (of which no remains exist) to serve a purpose never hinted at in any literature is lunacy.

> Uncanny coincidences that do not make sense[5]

Well, the coincidence of hexagonal structure can easily be explained by there existing only three regular polygons that can tile a plane, one of which is a hexagon. Try a random Voronoi diagram (e.g., https://cfbrasz.github.io/Voronoi.html)--things tend to end up looking very hexagonal very quickly.

Of course, when you get to the claim that trees were 10 miles high...

There should be an additional licensing requirement for any vehicle over 5,000 pounds, with stiffer penalties and restrictions. Like commercial-lite. For context, the Ford F-150 is 4,021 to 5,740 lbs, and the F250 is 5,677 to 7,538 lbs.

This is an extremely cool project, but after browsing the source code a bit, it looks like it's badly in need of modernization.

CSS is Bootstrap 3.

The docs reference Web Components, and I do see the use of customElements.define() so (I think?) it's using "real" Web Components technologies, but the code is indecipherable to me:

var n = t.getAttribute('name') || '';
if (!n)
return;

var p = t.getAttribute(T_PATH) || 'null';
var c = t.getAttribute(T_CONFIG) || 'null';
var d = t.getAttribute(T_DEFAULT) || '';
var s = '__';

var meta = n + s + p + s + c + (d ? (s + d) : '');
t.$jcwebcomponent = true;

compilecomponent(meta, t);

Note, this isn't the minified version, it's straight from jc.js, not jc.min.js.

Looking through it, most of the code is like this, and there's liberal use of "var". This isn't a cherrypicked example. It looks like it was originally written about six years ago, and I see active commits, so it's really confusing to me why the code base would be in such rough shape.

The components implementation is very pythonic - it passes "self" around to decorate with functions, it doesn't look like it's been modernized to use classes.

From a features standpoint, the project is very cool. My concern with choosing to use it in a production app is the enormous amount of very obvious technical debt that I'm seeing.

At some point, this will either need a major overhaul and rewrite (an extraordinary effort for a project this size), a dual-implementation support (like react and a few others did, with class based and functional APIs both supported) and a long, slow reimplementation path, or a decay into obsolescence as the core frameworks becomes hopelessly outdated and difficult to maintain.

That's a really difficult technical position to be in, and I sympathize with the challenge ahead. Clearly there are very talented developers working on this project, I'm looking forward to seeing how they solve these issues moving forward.
>There seems to be a lack of drive (judging by forum posts) to enable IPv6 on internet services by admins, either because they don’t care to, or it’s more work to manage a public IPv4 and public IPv6 presence

If you run a mailserver adding ipv6 support is far more risk to your domain's mailserver reputation than it is worth. And if you're just a human person and not a megacorp that new ipv6 address, even if it it doesn't immediately hurt you, will take a very long time to get accept, longer than an ipv4.

There are many sub-branches of Econ. I don't know which is my favorite. I do enjoy material on behavioral economics that i've read.

I've read books like freakonomics, superfreakonimics, voltage effect, the why axis, and thinking fast and slow.

Would love to dive deep into in. Looking for the following recommendations in all branches of Econ:

* MasterClasses
* Youtube or course material
* Books

I know I am in the minority out there but when I do math, calculus, diff eq, whatever, the answer just comes to me. There's no internal dialogue, the answer just, for the lack of a better phrase, rises from the deep and is known to me.

When I am in an discussion I will look up and off the my left when I am thinking, but no words are happening in my "inner dialogue", it's just nothing and then I start speaking whatever I paused for.

Similar things happen to me while I am programming at work, I stare at the problem and the answer just comes.
Also not a physicist, but I think the distinction being made here is that Higgs et al explained existing phenomenon that did not make sense within the existing theory, and oh by the way if we're correct we've also created a hole in the standard model where a particle exists with certain properties that were a bit nebulous.

For instance special relativity explains gravitational lensing and predicted that frame dragging would also be discovered, but also explained other problems. The theories that make a physicist's day seem to tie the past to the present and the present to the future:

This happened, we don't know why. Here's a theory that explains those measurements. Here's a prediction we can test now/with a billion dollars that will corroborate my theory, and here are some new consequences of the theory that require <future tech> to be sure that this is 'true' instead of an accident of math. Like atomic clocks or giant particle accelerators.

Isn't this the same thing that everyone else is doing, except they're not pretending to be special by falsely claiming that they're using no unsafe?

My impression of `forbid(unsafe)` users in practice is that they think they've cleverly discovered a way to encapsulate unsafe that everyone else is missing, when in fact they've missed the point of unsafe to begin with and then belatedly rediscovered it.

It is the one, and you're right it's not the same game, although similar.
This is a good counterpoint (while not necessarily discouraging cross pollination). I ask parallel teams that I work with how best I can help them, which leads me into learning a lot about the different facets of the business. My experience with approaching this with curiosity and empathy will yield a more welcoming environment to learn more about the things you are not familiar with yet as you are clearly not being threatening and actually looking to build a working relationship that both of you benifit from.

This also goes both ways. I also offer to help people to learn more about my side of the organization, going as far as being a mentor. A former coworker, with whom I am still friends with today, I met at a previous role where she was in marketing but wanted to know more about the development side, having had no prior experience. I was able to get her started in software engineering. Fast forward 6 years, she’s now the lead automations engineer for a marketing company.

Technological development. There's an alternate theory that the rate of technological change requires vastly more regulation over a much wider range of functions, meanwhile the population has vastly increased diluting the level of control that any individual has. That combination of requiring more input while diluting individual input causes apathy.

As an illustrative example, there are ~10x more words in the tax code and regulations today (~10 million) than there were in 1950 (~1 million) and about double the population. As a citizen today, I have to do ~10x as much work to understand the tax code and I have about half as much influence over it (assuming that complexity scales linearly with word count, which I somewhat doubt). Go back to 1900 and there was about 1/4 the people and the tax code was ~0.5% the length it is today.

I'm not surprised that more people are apathetic when it takes an order of magnitude more effort to get half the influence.
