> Both Cicada and Dagger are CI engines that allows you to build pipelines in code. Cicada is focused entirely on TypeScript, while Dagger supports multiple different programming languages. By choosing TypeScript as Cicada's dedicated CI runtime, we are able to provide a more idiomatic SDK and support running TypeScript code directly in containers.

Dagger is a lot more focused on trying to stick to BuildKit and make CI/CD fit into that model, we took a more traditional looking approach where you define steps on a pipeline which should be more familiar to people who have written a CI/CD pipeline before.
I think it's correct, but understand your view too.

> Lots of those people are still alive.

At least one of my still-alive parents (vaguely) remember "colored" water fountains in some areas. They were just young children, but witnessed a bit of that. Their parents certainly witnessed it. People in my immediate family, in their lifetime. Not history book stuff. They were there. It's crazy.

The latter code looks totally quuxable.
I too grew up with some of that in the family house, AFAIK it's all gone now. OTOH, I put together no less than five Billy bookcases in the last month. These were in two visual styles and two height configurations (standard 2m and extra 2.4m).

I was somewhat shocked that there were multiple assembly systems being delivered this year even amongst those iconic products. Chiefly, one type has nail-pinned back, and one type has a plastic pressure-pinned back. AFAIK the nail-pin system is older and ... it is shit. The plastic-pinned system is new and far better. Why?

People will hammer themselves. Nails can be easily lost. Hammers aren't always available to consumers. Neighbours hate hammering noises, and many people now live in close proximity to strangers in apartments. CNC cut holes are always in the right place. Plastic pressure pins can be taken out if the furniture needs to be disassembled for relocation.

I admire Ikea industrial design and consider assembly of their products an educational experience because, having spent a lot of time in the past half-decade with mechanical design responsibility also spanning production process engineering and associated logistics, Ikea stuff is just so damn practical. IMHO Ikea products and their associated documentation are proof that design improvement remains possible... even for "iconic" designs that are the back-stop of their brand.

That said, I strongly dislike their stores.
> just no foundation to the claim that there is a backdoor in Teslas for their own use.

If it's not for their own use, whose use is it for? It's literally just for their use. They may promise that they won't use that backdoor for purposes that aren't for your benefit, but that's just their promise. And how do they define "for your benefit"?

How secure from other attackers that back door is is only one aspect. It's important (and important to remember the truism that "if there's a way to access it legally, there's a way to access it illegally"), but not the only issue. Even if we assume that hackers really can't get in that way, the backdoor and the data collection are still unacceptable to me.
not sure what these bands are but the simulation stopped getting live data quite a few seconds before planned touchdown.
I think this is partly because of the syntax.

When we write human languages (that use a Latin script), we use punctuation to delineate the beginning and end of terms. In a language like C or Rust, terms are surrounded by commas, parentheses, angle brackets, and so on. In OCaml and Haskell, many things that there is syntax for in C-style languages are done as ordinary function calls, which separate terms by only whitespace.

It is easier to read this (Rust):

let value = some_long_ass_function_name(some_quirky_parameter, another_one);

another_function(value)

than this (Haskell):

let value = someLongAssFunctionName someQuirkyParameter anotherOne
in anotherFunction value

or this (OCaml):

let value = some_long_ass_function_name some_quirky_parameter another_one in
another_function value

Individual terms in camel case are difficult to read if they consist of more than a couple words. Consecutive terms in snake case are difficult to read because underscores and whitespace look alike visually.

Haskell and OCaml's idiomatic solution is to use extremely terse names for arguments, type variables, and local variables, out of what seems to be syntactic necessity.

Like a lot of companies, IKEA sells things in various tiers. Dressers and bookcases have different price points, and at each price point is a different material quality level.

a third of the co2 produced comes from electricity. Rich nations could subsidize GDP growth in developing nations by building nuclear and renewables there. These countries will accelerate the demise of humanity if they burn coal instead. They don't have the right to do it. Neither did developed nations but they already did it. We do not have the right to determine the fate of the planet that we share with all other living things.

Teddy Roosevelt said, “We have become great because of the lavish use of our resources. But the time has come to inquire seriously what will happen when our forests are gone, when the coal, the iron, the oil, and the gas are exhausted, when the soils have still further impoverished and washed into the streams, polluting the rivers, denuding the fields and obstructing navigation.”

We must conserve and protect this planet. Even if that means doing so from other humans.

XSLT the syntax leaves a bit to be desired. There's also a number of highly questionable default behaviors that are really unfortunate. OTOH, the concept of a term-rewriting tree-matching language is pretty great.

> Go after the billions in subsidies handed out to farmers for growing corn/soybeans/dairy and such in order to stay competitive against cheaper products overseas. Good luck.

We deliberately overproduce food so that when, say, corrupt regimes attack one of the world's largest wheat growers, we don't end up starving. It's a necessary adaptation for a country that has to worry about food security in the event of wars, even if it has 2nd order effects that are not so good.
Stand corrected on that one.

What are the fruits of that increased team on the VS, VS4Mac and VSCode tooling, and .NET SDKs?
I don't even see it as unfortunate. It's just reality. It's a tool to be used when appropriate, like any other.

My point is that adding a higher level abstraction for e.g. strings in C runs a strong risk of not being fit for purpose for the people who reach for C.

People code in C because they have very specific requirements. If they could just pick up an opinionated library then it's likely that they don't need to use C in the first place.

> China is doing more to combat global warming than is any other nation

What?

The west is working hard at lowering it's emissions, but all that work is getting undone because China's emissions aren't slowing down. Coal is incredibly cheap when there's no carbon tax or emission standards. One of the many reasons it's cheaper to manufacture in China and why North Americans and Europeans can't compete [0]. Comparing the US[1] and China[2], the US has:

- Decreasing per capita emissions in the US starting in 1973 (-27%)

- A decrease in the countries emission starting in 2007 (-13%)

Meanwhile for the same period China has had

- a 7x increase per capita since 1973 (+532%)

- 48% increase for its global emissions since 2007

So it is possible to drastically reduce our carbon footprint thanks to innovation and smarter power generation.

Time to add tariffs on goods produced by states who made the decision of going all-in on polluting power generation, and potentially apply immigration quotas to citizens of these countries.

The article makes the common (and grating) error of conflating power (1.5 gigawatts) and energy (power over time). Put another way, "1.5 gigawatts" does not in any way describe a rate. Do they mean 1.5 gigawatts per hour? or per day? or per year?

I'm referring to this section:
...the rate that energy builds below the volcano is only around 1.5 gigawatts - less heat than a typical power plant sheds. Yellowstone currently bleeds heat at a rate of about 4.5 to 6 gigawatts, mostly through heated water moving below the surface.

There are things I dislike about macOS, but most of them seem like issues of personal preference or just some difficulty remembering the macOS way to do things after many, many years using Windows and Linux. Occasionally there are head-scratching decisions about this or that application, and my wife gets completely twisted around trying to manage her windows--there is some impedance between mental models here for some users for sure.

But Windows now? Holy cow, in Windows it feels like they're trying to screw with me at this stage. MacOS issues mostly seem like the people at Apple are trying to make a good product that their users will like. Microsoft seems like serving their end users is secondary to another goal (advertising revenue?) Mind blowing.

Some people are commented about macOS being more locked down. I don't know what the current status is on Windows with regard to this, but the OS is a lot more locked down than an equivalent linux system. You can't dump onto the filesystem wherever you want. This improves system integrity and makes the devices more secure, you might not think this is worth it, but this point is inarguable.

For the moment at least, I have been able to install any utility I want and have not felt constrained in the slightest. It's not a problem for me to install things into the non-system directories and modify my $PATH variable and the like. If this changes, I guess I'd have to regrettably move back to Linux, but while we should be attentive, there's no reason to hate macOS for what we fear it may become instead of what it is.

Why anyone is still talking about Dark Matter as a viable explanation for galaxy rotation curves likely has to do with the paradigmatic nature of science which resists any change, plus that there are myriads that have wasted entire academic and scientific careers on Dark Matter.

I'd really not like spamming this again but I should strongly emphasize, stay away from snap and gnome, you would be completely put off computing if you are escaping modern Windows and come to Ubuntu and then experience this nonsense the first thing. They are the same tarpit of user hostile software requiring you fighting your computer 24x7. Some people might disagree about gnome perhaps, but they have a long and well documented history of nastiness, removing features, rewriting everything, deliberately not solving certain bug/feature requests for several years. And since they are de facto in control of gtk now, its also bleeding there too. There are talks of killing theming in gtk 4/5 for example.

And snaps are basically an all in one packaging solution, the main evil relevant to you are forced updates and officially speaking there is no way around it last I checked, at best you can set a grace period. Also they put files in weird locations so good luck trying to edit their settings, etc.

Actually, now that I spend more than ten seconds thinking about this, I think this requires O(1) space; you only need to remember the single most recent link behind you to avoid following it again. Remembering a single break is sufficient to get you to either the next cycle or (if no more) terminate the BFS; and once you detect the next cycle you can safely remember only /its/ break since BFS will never take you back to the first cycle. Assuming streaming output (e.g. print identification of each cycle as you detect it -- including e.g. printing each node until you see the break point, which will identify each node that is part of the cycle), this is O(n) time and O(1) space, which I believe is optimal.
Sure - but setting aside lobbying and PR releases their own capex reports show that US domestic companies were seriously cutting back on oil exploration between 2014 and 2020. And the investments they were making were overwhelmingly to (lower carbon) natural gas.

To put it another way, in that period they reduced their lobbying budget by $50 million and their production investment by $400 billion. It is the lobbying that is pennies.
