Trying to add in extra mind-numbing aspects might help: noise through speakers, or using a treadmill while using the computer.

Using a pomodoro approach instead as exposure therapy might help, start in a safe range, X minutes of computer, YY minutes away from computer, slowly add to X when you can (and remember, if you need to reduce X, that's okay too, not a bad thing at all)

If you feel somewhat overwhelmed too, switching back to a text console might be an option, la installing Debian on a separate drive or the such without any graphics.

Except they're fast and built with care, with graphic design given as much importance as technology itself (as in actual "interface problem solving", not "the same product as everyone else's, but with gradients and transparency"). Navigation's different but it's very good. The text editor is best-in-class. I don't prescribe to the notion that a professional worker should always have 64gb RAM so both Notion and Jira can be open at the same time, and I for myself appreciated that whatever page I was on was just a single page, an slightly interactive html page, and whenever I needed to go somewhere else I'd browse there clicking on hyperlinks, and get there fast. It might sound dated, but compared to, say, Asana and Monday or dear god Microsoft or Jira's "reinventions", it's really many years ahead.

AI Scam Calls with Fake Kidnapping
This should be rated higher, possibly even over the reveal that this study is comparing to Reddit answers.

https://xkcd.com/937/ comes to mind. It's not implausible at all to me that ChatGPT could outperform Reddit in detail/manners for health advice (and honestly, even for actual doctors I've heard some horror stories about bedside manner and refusing to actually believe/consider symptoms), but if the study isn't actually checking that, if they're just checking if the chatbot was more polite/empathetic... that's a huge qualification that should be up-front and center.

Both SPARK and Rust provide memory safety, so it's perfectly reasonable to use popularity as a "tie breaker". Applications are written by people; the more people who can usefully contribute, the more work can be done.
> I am curious how one pops popcorn, shakes a pan, throws the pan, and heats the sides of the pan when eg reducing stock. How do woks work, exactly, on an induction burner? Why does spilling liquids cause the problems I encountered? Why does the bottom of the pans have to be perfectly flat? Some of my cast iron skillets (whoops never mind) are 50 years or more old and are not perfectly flat. They cook fantastic on a gas range. My All-Clad skillets reduce stock while caramalizing above the liquid level, and... the flavor gain is detectable. My only a few years old set of de Buyers "work" on induction but they're not perfectly flat, either. They are ever so slightly concave up in the center. They work fantastic too on a gas burner, but are a disaster on induction.

... we do all of those things on our mid/low-range induction stove? Our primary cookware is random cast iron, the pasta water boils over all the time with no ill effect, we make popcorn, we make stocks, toss things in a pan by lifting it from the surface all the time. I don't know what range you had but something is wrong with it.
Which is? Most of these countries have really strong 4g already...
That's because they're more prepared for heat, and have clothes and structures designed to handle the heat at the expense of cold.

Like how Texas has lots of heat waves that cause issues, but there was far more havoc and death during that cold snap.

2011-2012 I wrote an inventory management system.

It's a "single page app". Using jQuery. Python backend.

I truly hope nobody else ever has to work on it (now there are real single page libraries) but it still works and has been going like a charm over a decade and the users like it.

Every year I think maybe I'll redo it using Vue or something but never do.

When the day comes that gas stoves actually get banned (either forcefully removed or by banning the distribution of gas), your comment will again be:

"This shouldn't be surprising, sensational or controversial."
Ada/SPARK has fallen behind on the rich library ecosystem. I've vetted it once about 7 months ago.

I don't dig the syntax but that's 98% irrelevant; professionals shouldn't care about it. However, the lack of stuff I take for granted when working with several other languages, Rust included, drove me away. Nobody is paying me to enrich an ecosystem (even though I'd gladly take the opportunity to do so for a few languages I hold dear).

On the regurgitating part, I feel obliged to point out that you're doing exactly the same as those you accuse of doing it.

Rust is making strides and extremely serious engineers and decision makers are using and recommending it: part of the Linux kernel community, France's intelligence agency, Google's Android and Fuchsia projects, a lot of Fintech companies, and many others.

You and others being eternally skeptical and feeling the need to insult adopters sounds like you just want people off your lawn without an objective analysis. And without taking feedback from companies who successfully adopted Rust and wrote good blog posts with both pros and cons.

I'd question your competence if you think you know better than Google, Linux kernel devs and GCHQ.

It's your right to echo-chamber yourself, the world keeps moving though.

What photorealistic AI generated image? In September 2019 this must have been a GAN face. I admit those are impressive, but incredibly limited compared to todays text to image models. If you look at an iPhone from 2019, or a car, or a videogame ... they all still look about the same today.

Three years ago there was nothing remotely as impressive as modern GPT style or text to image models. Basically nobody predicted what was about to happen. The only exception I know is Scott Alexander [1]. I don't know about any similar predictions from the experts, but I'm happy to be proven wrong.

Your understanding is a bit strange considering that your username below your post makes your post related to a person (you) and is therefore personal data.

It’s not immediately obvious to me how this differs from something like ansible which people have been using for years for basic deployment topologies. What am I missing?

Rust has a minimal runtime (0), and links to libc by default which brings in the libc runtime (so it's not like C is any better). Except that the Rust runtime is written in Rust, which is nice for memory safety.

There is a code object called "C Runtime" (crt0.o)[1].

This was a good name at the time. Its a bit of code that gets executed literally "at runtime". When you run a program, this object gets invoked to setup the stack and call main(). Its just a bit of assembly.

Then, decades later, languages like Java overloaded the term "runtime" to refer to their interpreter / vm. This causes confusion to this day, evidently.

I'm one of the many who hadn't heard of Traefic until MRSK mentioned it. The marketing seems very (overly?) targetted at cloud microservices and container-specific tech[1]. Is that just marketing, or is it really not a good fit for monoliths on bare-metal?

They are open source advocates.

They create environment of certain kind of skepticism towards established tech while injecting novel approaches here and there.

(Heat pump) Hot water heaters and washing machines are not major power draws. Some rough figures on power consumption of typical appliances, from most to least:

Continuous-flow electric water heater: 20 kW
Heat pump or central air, big home: 12-15 kW
EV charger: 7 kW
Electric tanked water heater or hybrid water heater in electric mode: 7.2 kW
Clothes dryer with heating element on: 5 kW
Heat pump or central air, small home: 3-4 kW
Electric oven: 3-5 kW
Induction range: 1.8 kW
Instapot: ~1.5 kW
Toaster oven: 1-1.5 kW
Electric kettle: 1 kW
Microwave: 1.2 kW
Dishwasher: ~500-1000 W
Heat pump water heater: ~600W
Washing machine: 500 W
Vacuum cleaner: 200-300 W
Home server or desktop: 100-200 W
Box fan or air purifier: 100 W
Laptop on fast charge: 65W
Laptop on slow charge: 30W
LED light bulb: 12-15W
Cell phone charger: 6W

For reference, 200A electrical service can supply up to 24 kW of power, and even 120A service in older houses is good for about 14.4 kW.

Individually coordinating appliance loads or including a battery with each appliance seems like an inefficient, expensive and unnecessary extra step. Basically, all you need to do is a.) charge your EVs at night when nothing else is running b.) don't use electric water heaters unless they're heat pumps and c.) insulate your home if you're using heat pump HVAC. All of which you should be doing anyway. The kitchen appliances are easily manageable if the EV and HVAC are not running at the same time, and everything else is rounding error.

There might be some benefit to grid-coordinating EV charging and heat pump HVAC operation, particularly since these are the cases where naive loads all hit the grid at the same time, and they already come with batteries included (literal ones for EVs, thermal batteries for HVAC). For smaller appliances it's totally unnecessary though.

Many typed languages are like that, but the big difference is that they admit the trade-off. In Ruby on Rails, dissent is a big taboo, so they blame the problems on the devs (the unwashed nameless masses) rather than tackle the problem itself.

That's why you have all these different tools and concepts; since they try to sandpaper over all the magical complexity by adding more complexity, it becomes a no-true Scotsman trivia game.

What trips me up tbh is how tech history repeats itself almost verbatim. The Smalltalk story is very similar but with a different cast.

I love this perspective. And I love these moments when I demo my project (people can request a demo on the home page) and people realize that it actually solves the problem they are struggling with for a long time.

I also deliberately choose not to do things that I don't like (like content marketing) even though they'd for sure bring me more revenue. It has to be enjoyable because otherwise it'd be just another job.

Can’t speak to California, but where I am in Canada (national capital region) I’ve been without power for over 14 days total in the past 12 months and we don’t have half the problems they do.

There was an eight day outage, a four day outage, and a couple ~24 hour outages.

Surprisingly very few short outages or brownouts or anything.

I’m sitting at having utility power ~95% of the time over the past 12 months. I’d have no problem believing two weeks… or more.

It's really amazing how people can talk about 200 amps as if it's nothing. We have a household installation of 40 amps (220) and last year there were months that cost 400 euros per month on electricity, and we are not heavy electricity users (we have no electric cloth dryer but have a small robot mower tho)

Suppose you could have memory safety in C by implementing a borrow checker for every individual function. It would be suitable for certain industries, but breathtakingly expensive, error-prone, and therefore useless for most kinds of software.

That's roughly the situation today with SPARK. Using Ada does not automatically buy you memory safety on the same level as Rust. You can get a lot further with SPARK, but the annotations are very cumbersome to write.

These are well-known problems in the Ada community. There are efforts underway to improve SPARK's ergonomics by adapting ideas from Rust, with the help of the Rust Foundation. Someday soon, Ada will be much closer to Rust's sweet spot on the safety/productivity graph. In the meantime, there are CVEs to patch.

> When the power is out, am I expected to start a fire in my yard to cook food?

You can't assume that gas supply works in a power outage. Some modern gas stoves depend on external electricity for active power regulation or flame surveillance, and the compressors along the line require electricity as well to function - which was one of the problems in the Texas power outage IIRC, as the gas peaker plants couldn't get powered on because the gas grid compressors were offline.

Keep a camping stove for emergency scenarios, way more reliable and if you're running out of gas you can always walk to the next open hardware store.
Bingo. Housing in the Netherlands has become a cult demanding increasingly more human sacrifice.

"Just don't write bugs", am I right?

Little more seriously, people do use analysis tools and memory safety bugs still creep in. There was an interesting blog post here on HN several months ago about it.

And yes it helps, but doesn't eliminate everything still.

Which ironically is exactly the argument for using Rust: it will not eliminate all bugs of course, but it will eliminate a whole class of them just because your program compiled successfully.

Part of the programmers resisting Rust is quite hilarious to watch. All reasoning and evidence presented is ignored and it all devolves to "kids these days can't code".
It depends a lot on your existing service. For many homes the wire is already rated for 200A, and you just need a new main panel. In those cases the utility charges you $0. On the other end of the spectrum, some homes have buried power lines where they need to dig up the street and driveway to run a new higher-rated cable to your home, and I've heard of those costing upwards of $50K.
Unfortunately the vast majority of their customers use Windows. So there is little commercial drive to add Linux support to everything. I'm glad that it's starting with a few models.
