I don't want user choice, I want a computing appliance that Just Works - I don't want to spend all my time being a sysadmin.

I've found OSX to be the best in that regard, there's a single place to find apps to purchase and download, and they Just Work. OS updates Just Work. I plug in peripherals and they Just Work.

The same for my iPhone - much better experience than Android.

I used to think user choice was important, and then I realized I was sacrificing user experience for a freedom that I never exercised.
It uses structural typing not ad-hoc polymorphism. Plus it’s rarely used and it used to give hard to parse error messages when you made type mistakes. I don’t really see it as an adequate replacement for ad-hoc polymorphism.

There's no real intrinsic electrical or battery system requirements for a giant solar power satellite. The energy use is comparably trivial: no big transponders to run in eclipse like a comsat.

But you do need everything to survive the cold and thermal cycling.

I've seen enough Climate Town videos (YT channel) to not trust anything that comes the from O&G direction. It may be very well that the exploration was cut back, but that could be for a number of reasons. Without knowing any details, I would blatantly assume they cut back purely out of it being the most profitable thing to do.

Seriously, go watch Climate Town, the guy running the channel is a comedy genius (and also has a degree in climate science).

>Your self-driving cars are stilll bad.

Huh? We have Waymo and Cruise, both of which operate a taxi service with no driver in the car in a major city, on top of many other smaller players including Tesla. Waymo has a stellar safety record to boot. Bad compared to what exactly? Not human drivers, not anything built anywhere else.

>The cloud it's just rehashed mainframes, every Unix users in the 90's (and Athena) did that.

If everyone was doing it, how come the top 3 players are all in the US? Why is Europe reliant on US cloud instead of having its own? And just like everything else, only "competing" with it by kneecapping it with regulation.

>On space, ok, but China it's getting closer daily.

Not Europe though, is it?

>Consumer? Europe's food it's far better and cheaper.

Consumer technology... which is what this conversation is about.

>On AI, China has goverment funded project far ahead of the USA.

Again, what does this have to do with Europe? Further, what projects exactly? If you can't use them, they don't exist. OpenAI is making entire job functions obsolete today.

Reminder that the population of the US is 350M, EU 450M, Europe 750M, and China 1.5B.
Edge's vertical tabs are game changing, exceptionally useful and well-executed. No combination of browser extensions comes close (for me).

My Microsoft-branded Sculpt Ergonomic keyboard is fantastic. I have no idea if they designed it or build it, though. And even the tilted mouse that it came with is really good. Their previous ergonomic keyboard 4000-something, was also fantastic.

They are not conventional keyboards, they have slightly-updated interfaces including larger meta keys, a split hand layout, tenting and reverse tilting, integrated palm rest, and some other niceties. Yes, Microsoft is capable of shipping a decent user interface. Just not in software. ))
i don't see why it matters whether the center of moment is within the handle or not; the problem is that the glue has to be able to resist the moment without breaking, but it's much closer to the center of moment than the blade edge

say the blade is 100 mm long and 30 mm thick with a cylindrical back edge; the moment is being applied to the blade edge 85 mm from the center of moment, while the glue is resisting the moment from only 15 mm away, giving a 6.7:1 mechanical advantage, and the force is the full force being applied to the workpiece multiplied by sin θ, where θ is the angle the central axis of the blade makes with the force applied by the workpiece on the blade; typically this will be on the order of 0.1, but in a bad strike perhaps closer to 0.3

i don't know, give it a try?

Just so everyone knows, the whole "Yellowstone is a supervolcano that could erupt any minute and cause cataclysmic effects on the planet" is just not true. It was made up for TV "documentaries". Yellowstone does not pose any real threat to society at large. Volcanologists are practically unanimous in that belief.

> Also, the marine and aviation industries don't have viable EV options in the short term (10 years)

With high enough energy density, I suppose it's possible for short haul aviation to go electric. If they can overcome the energy density difficulties, I'm sure it'll be great for reliability and cost. And maybe even noise.

I have serious doubts that it'll ever be feasible for long haul aviation to run on anything but hydrocarbons. Although I suppose it's theoretically possible.
None of this addresses the intense energy requirements. Even the self-managed permacultures would have little chance of survival if the bulk of the energy received was removed.

Aside from niggles about what constitutes a "back door", I was not doing that.

> There is nothing in their terms or privacy policy that indicates this is happening, and data collection that could expose PII is opt in.

None of that is actually reassuring, but the reason why is a whole other, very large, discussion.

> The way I see it, you’re essentially uncomfortable with Tesla being able to update the software on your system (which is also opt in BTW).

No, I'm uncomfortable with the data connection to Tesla. I'm uncomfortable with their data collection, and I'm uncomfortable with them having any sort of control over the car.

> Do you feel this way about all products that auto-update?

Yes. I consider auto-updating to be harmful. But the reasons why are another long, separate, conversation.

This is subjective. Cafe standards incentivize manufacturers to make and sell larger trucks and SUVs. I'd argue they may be effective in some ways compared to other countries, but there are still gaping holes in how emissions are regulated.

It will be interesting how this develops. Right now EVs are just starting to become affordable. I wonder what would happen, once they reach the second hand market. What about people who live in apartments with only street parking available? Cars are parked bumper to bumper. Will there be a charging dock every 2 meters on every single street?
> Why?

Because you can't have two processes using the same port, and the process that was using the port is now not responding. Perhaps you don't even want to go through the process of learning what PID it has, you just want the port back so you can relaunch the dev server on localhost.

your criticisms of this program do not seem well-founded because your assuming that it will be used improperly. In many cases this is a very simple problem with a simple solution
My bigger concern is just how damn reliable new vehicles are. The average age of a car on the road today is like 12 years. Even if we start selling 100% electric cars tomorrow, the curve is a lot fatter and the cut over slower. On the other hand, this is a great thing because it will smooth out the transition
I would say it would be a clear win to replace your car with an EV even if you don't drive it much. You help bring down the price of EVs, demonstrate their utility, and your old car will likely be resold and push an even less fuel-efficient old car off the road.

> They could potentially be extremely light for the area (micrometers to tens of micrometers thick at most needed for light absorption).

This is really the key, if you can make a solar panel that’s as light and thin as say mylar, and then unfold it when you get to space, we could put up several kilometers of solar panels without requiring much mass at all. It’s not like there’s wind or rain up there to wear it down.

M00x, you mentioned you know folks at Epic that are working on WebGPU. Do you mind sharing who they are? Because last time our team spoke with Epic, they mentioned they are not working on this (our company is a startup from Canada building tools and a platform-as-a-service to enable developers to bring their games to the web, and a large focus of our work has been building out a WebGPU backend and integration for Unreal Engine 5).

Actually, EV drivetrains are more suitable for heavy equipment than are ICE drivetrains. They are far less sensitive to weight, and operating costs are far more of a factor than initial purchase costs. Not to mention the incredible torque and power of electric motors.

Additionally, solar charging is far easier to get out to a remote jobsite than is diesel. If you've never seen diesel logistics for e.g. remote mines, you'd have no idea. And even for the far north (or far south) where solar is not an option, often they'll have provisions for electricity or alternative methods of generating it on site.

Maybe it's very hard to get everything working together? A lot of spacecrafts have failed on various missions, not just moon, since the beginning of space exploration.

This is not 1960s unlimited race budgets, this makes things harder.
There are a lot of other factors at play:

A lot of less experienced employees don’t understand what managers do. There is also a certain personality I’d call “the geeky engineer” who thinks the same way.

Some things that are actually signs of an effective manager are hated by employees. Some individual employees for example need micromanagement or frequent manager involvement to make sure they don’t go off track, get stuck without telling anybody, or blow a time budget on something unimportant (eg a task is scoped at 2 weeks and they spend the entire first week playing with something speculative that may help).

A lot of managers are both highly paid and truly bad. I think a lot of businesses don’t do as good of a job vetting EM hires as they do SWEs the EM will manage. And I don’t mean that the EM needs to be Staff-level necessarily.

Even a good manager is incentivized to do things that are globally suboptimal (empire building, overextending) for career growth. This is also true of ICs though.

Personally, I think the biggest problem is the EM hiring bar though. Where I work has high standards and is very selective when recruiting ICs, but it seems like all that goes out the window for external EMs. I do think EMs deserve high pay and to be incentivized to do good work, but that requires a hiring process that better distinguishes between good and bad EMs.

The implementation of the Notion can be bunch of lists, like Trello. However Notion's UI doesn't pass this feeling.
inlining code and most code-movement optimizations are among the many optimizations that don't require the kind of nasty tricks with undefined behavior that i'm criticizing, and it's been common practice for decades; c++ has depended on method inlining to get acceptable performance since the 80s

it's kind of a pain if you're stepping through the code in gdb but that's acceptable

turning off optimization entirely is still too costly for most cases
Majority of housing in the US is single family homes. Some jurisdictions have mandated EV charging installs at multi family/apartments. More can. Tesla places superchargers in lots of places at grocery stores (conveniently allowing you to charge while you shop). Walmart is rolling out charging at thousands of stores. Power is everywhere, this is straightforward to solve for.

20% of EV sales in California this year, so far, are EVs. They are the 4th-5th largest economy in the world. Extrapolate accordingly.

The configuration state of the option that allows Edge to send browsing history to Microsoft is pretty damn relevant when talking about a feature that involves Edge sending browsing history to Microsoft.

If the option is being ignored, it's the kind of thing that'll result in fines in multiple countries. If the option is being respected, it's not even a story. I assume you're the person quoted in the story and know the details, so thanks for clarifying. Sounds like it's the former then.
I applaud your efforts and consider such things to be important.
My guess is EVs won't affect commutes because they're better to drive and more convenient to fuel than gas cars for commuters.
You can become a Christian right now.

1. Admit you are a sinner, because all have sinned and come short of the glory of God - Romans 3:23, Romans 3:10-12, 1 John 1:10, James 2:10

2. Realize the penalty for sin, which is death, hell, and eternal separation from God - Revelation 21:8, Romans 6:23, Galatians 5:19-21, 1 Corinthians 6:9, James 1:15

3. Believe that Jesus died, was buried, and rose again to pay for your sin - 1 John 2:2, Acts 16:30-31, Acts 3:19, Acts 10:43 Romans 5:8, 1 Timothy 3:16, 1 Peter 2:24, John 3:16, John 10:28, John 6:47, John 11:26, 1 Timothy 1:15, 2 Corinthians 5:21, 1 Corinthians 6:11

4. Trust Jesus Christ alone as your savior, nothing else - Ephesians 2:8-9, Acts 4:11-12, Romans 11:6, Matthew 7:13-14, Matthew 7:21-23

Pray this prayer:

"Dear Jesus Christ, I know that I am a sinner. I know that I deserve to go to hell, but I believe you died on the cross for me and rose again. Please save me right now and give me eternal life. I'm only trusting in you Jesus, Amen."

And if you believed this in your heart, you're now saved and have the Holy Spirit. First of all, rejoice because you've passed from death to life through the power of Jesus Christ and he will NEVER leave nor forsake you, no matter what. This is why "Gospel" means "good news". You have absolute freedom, and power over death through Jesus. The Holy Spirit will guide you into more understanding as you read the scripture, but you should first focus on knowing the person of Jesus. Jesus is also in the Old Testament symbolically and literally.

The important thing to note is that Christianity is not just doing good things, about turning your life around, etc. Christianity is first about believing the promise of God and His finished work on the cross, and then those good works can follow (but they don't have to, some are saved without works - Romans 4:5). We don't do work for Jesus or become obedient to him because we must to be saved, we do it out of love because we ARE saved.

And once you're saved, you're saved. There is no bad deed you could do to lose it, because there was no good deed you could do to earn it. Jesus says he will never leave nor forsake you, and he means it, and his promises are good forever and always.
