And the vast majority of electricity is made from fossil fuels too. And that figure was far higher when BEVs got started.

10x drop in panels is concievable, although by that point the transportation cost starts to dominate. But the balance-of-system costs (permitting, working on roof, inverter) are harder to make big dents in.

I don't understand the issue here. Passkeys are just a way for a site to ask your browser for credentials. If you don't like the current solutions, write your own, and it'll work with all Passkeys-enabled sites. Why do you need the standard to be different?
It's not. There is already at least one arrest where a single eco-terrorist started multiple fires[1]. More will certainly be arrested, although I suspect the Forest Crime Unit is now overwhelmed.

And to be fair, I have no doubt that at least one of these fires is natural too, as it's been particularly dry and hot in much of Canada.

I also have no doubts that Trudeau and the Liberals will completely ignore any case where these fires were intentionally started. Eco-terrorism is the type of crime they tacitly endorse because it's the perfect carte blanche to say "climate emergency" repeatedly and push forward more taxes, more Malthusian policies, and more government control over the life of their subjects.

That is so completely false that I fear you are responding purely by a bias against psychology and have not read anything about it. Of course you can form a hypothesis, and test it on real live humans, gather data and check results.
So on some dimensions, protectionism can make people better off (eg more secure). It seems your issue isn’t that it makes “everyone” poorer (there seems to be a contradiction between your previous and last statement), but more so you aren’t comfortable with how the decision is made (eg by fiat)

I wish that the regulations would exist in America to begin with, and the American people would push more for it. Instead we have to adhere to whatever their laws are and try to play catch up with regulations. And when we threaten with lockout or gating, they threaten back to exit the market completely, because they don't have any ramifications in their own country, and are not super interested in the issues which the regulations try to address.
Yes, although where I work, most of our main European offices are not in the city. (This is true in North America as well.) We have some smaller satellite offices in cities proper but they're mostly for customer and other visits.
The nuclear solution is framed as non economic because of decades of ideologically-driven sabotage; when nuclear plants were build en masse they were cheap. Now every reactor is apparently it's own research project since practical expertise in this field became scarce.

EPR's debacle is good example here.

Meanwhile, Koreans have been steadily building new plants without giant cost overruns and delays.

My commute is around half an hour in one direction, and it’s mostly enjoyable (7-8 minutes walking, 22 minutes in metro). What I hate is getting ready. My first meeting is at 10am, and I have to wake up at least at 8 if I’m going to the office (have a bite, take my dog out, shower and stuff). If I’m working from home, I can get up at 9:45.

While having colleagues around is sometimes beneficial, everything else is worse. My chair at home is more comfortable, I can keep the light dimmed, I can fart freely, I don’t have to wear shoes all day, etc.

How much do you think it should cost? More or less per month? Or maybe annual? Multi currency support?

It is a genuine question.
The cost of a home solar installation is dominated by regulatory costs in the US -- you can put solar on your roof in Australia for about a third of the price in the US.

Industrial solar plants will follow that cost curve a lot better than roof installations. As an example, panels are cheap enough that it's now cheaper to use more panels and less mounting hardware and just lay them flat on the ground: https://electrek.co/2022/12/12/texas-solar-farm-flat-on-the-...

This is a lot easier in a locale which has public transportation.

When my wife's car got totaled, I let her have mine, and rather than drive my truck every day, got out my daughter's bicycle for my 7 mile (one-way) commute.

Big improvement in quality-of-life, but with some caveats:

- Weather Underground's reports are quite accurate, but I had to check 3 of them each morning to be certain of avoiding a wetting (I'd drive the truck when it rained)

- maintenance was a concern, but not a big deal --- just did an "ABC" check: https://bikeleague.org/videos/basic-bike-check/ and at need, pumped up tires at a gas station along the way --- eventually got a patch kit and small pump, which was fortuitous, since shortly after had my first (and only) flat

- at 40 degrees F gloves become a necessity, but I managed to ride with the temperature as low as 17 F in pretty much normal (old) street clothes, added a heavy pair of pants, scarf, and knit cap

It was a big win health-wise --- when I had to get an annual check-up to get a reduction in my insurance rates the doctor's comment was quite flattering, "I have patients who are half your age, twice your weight, and not one-quarter as healthy as you are.".

Started commuting w/ my wife when I changed jobs and rather miss the bike.
Were offices "unsuccessful"? Because I always assumed the open spaces trend was just pablum being served up by Corporate to take us (engineering) down a notch.

The open work spaces thing too allowed for rapid over-hiring without having to have the real estate to back it up.
I ran into the opposite situation. The people they hired were pretty good, but like you said the VCs gave the CEO a headcount target to hit in engineering and he did it because I guess the VCs are the ones calling the shots.

Instead of just being honest and saying "oops, we need to cut spending, they created bullshit KPIs and useless metrics to start marking people as underperformers"

So I suspect a lot of the VC funded companies have had 10%+ stealth layoffs.
Awesome.

I just bought a new car. Used it to go to the mountains and went hiking/camping. On the way back I visited family and brought over some furniture. In a couple of weeks I'll probably take it to a remote bit of the coast and enjoy the sunshine.

Tomorrow I get the tube to go to Oxford Street and do some shopping, the car is worse for those sorts of things, just as public transport is pretty bad for some things.
I think their data set is valuable, it's just freely available for anyone to scrape (or as you say, has already been scraped).
Hydrogen is the best path regardless of whether you accept nuclear or renewable. In fact, it is the only path, as nothing else will delivery anything like zero emissions. People forget about industrial emissions entirely and how this fully requires green hydrogen production. And in the case of renewables, hydrogen is even more paramount because of the need for energy storage.
Idk my mortgage is about the same as rent in a medium apartment in dfw and def. Less than rent for a house and dfw is not a super high cost place to live. I have a family of 4 people living here plus a MIL in a smaller house built adjacent and over the garage. Renting the equivalent would mean probably 3 separate apartments.
Maybe there is a causal relationship there. Being viewed as useless might make you grumpy, being viewed as wise might make you kind.
For me the scariest part is its the only speciality that we allow to imprison people (involuntary holds) and they can keep people out of prison (not fit to stand trial). They also often influence public policy. That's a lot of power for people who can't do a double blind study most of the time.

I transparently stated the numbers where I got my anecdotal evidence from. I could go into detail of how and what individuals did or didn't do, but I don't see how that helps. Either take my word for it or you don't believe it anyways. And again, in my sample WFH folks were a minority, the majority was rather indifferent, and some preferred the office like me.

Let’s be deliberate about it - eg “hey let’s grab lunch together and then whiteboard out a few ideas”

> its DSL at least lazy

This keeps getting asked and it's baffling to me. Any programming language can delay evaluation by wrapping values in thunks where that makes sense, so it seems odd to me to give so much importance to whether values are evaluated strictly or delayed by default.

Guix package definitions declare other package values as inputs, and evaluation of these inputs is in fact delayed.

Verbosity: in Guix we don't generally run shell snippets as part of a build; the build phases are compiled into a Guile builder script, so in the absence of helpful abstractions build phases do not generally have the conciseness of shell scripts. On the other hand abstractions are easily fashioned, so some things are more concise and clearer than the shell equivalent.

Many of them froze hiring last year in the summer and fall (Amazon, etc. definitely did a freeze). It's just that a freeze rarely makes the news like a layoff.
It's something to consider, but they appear to be net-positive even in Canada: https://www.entuitive.com/ensight-trend-home/whole-life-carb...

(Some areas of Canada are well-supplied with hydroelectric power already, in which case the CO2-offsetting effect is much less worth it)
You basically rephrased what I said - because "doing business within your current budget" doesn't mean you're making the right decision. If you temporarily overhire and then have to lay people off, you'll be in a worse spot than if you hadn't overhired in the first place. Good management wouldn't do this, but it's safer, because you will be judged less harshly for doing what everyone does ("doing business within your current budget").
Imagine you have a stunning website that captures the essence of your brand, engages visitors, and drives conversions. Your online presence is an undeniable reflection of your business's success. But how do you find the web design company to turn this vision into a reality?

Maybe it varies by field. For myself, onboarding new developers has felt about the same as it did in person. I can't just stop by their desk but banging a message into chat and then starting a call if their response seems to far off track is not that much harder. A little friction but isn't it part of my job to get past that and make sure this person is productive as quickly as possible?

Overall my team has improved with remote work. Before the pandemic it was a struggle to find developers, in large part because of our location (expensive New England college town) and the (unspoken but clear) requirement that people come to the office every day. Now my current team is comprised of developers from Toronto, Sweden, etc. We hit our targets and get work done.

I wouldn't trade it for anything and I hope the pay grade above me realizes the concrete importance of the people and the work over this abstract idea of "community".
Interesting article, but:

> Then there's the issue that the crates.io registry is on GitHub, and only GitHub, and in order to publish on crates.io you have to have a GitHub account

This isn’t true. Crates.io publishes metadata to a GitHub repo, but that’s decoupled from them only supporting Github as a SSO.
Proportional representation is great when the population is fairly homogeneous with similar political issues and goals, and you don't need a union of different independent regions and groups. The European Union would not work with proportional representation, and countries like Iceland would struggle with their very large difference between city population and country population.

The point of disproportional representation is to reduce the political power imbalance between of high population areas with low population areas. The alternative is to split up the country or union so that each unique area and demographic govern themselves in isolation. Few people want that outcome so a compromise has to be chosen. In iceland as an example, the combined country districts has a majority if they all band together, while the Reykjavík district is by size the absolute single biggest and has well above 50% of Iceland population. Its a compromise that while political power is still very much centered in Reykjavík, they can't blindly ignore the country population.
I got it for the ads, not the articles :)
This is wrong. Everyone here confuses "Passkeys the standard" with "some hardware implementation they've heard of".

Yubikeys require a PIN, and the key is wiped if you enter it wrong ten times. Nobody stops you from making a hardware key that requires a long password to access it. You can do whatever you want, the standard doesn't care how you want to secure your keys. The standard just asks for a key at enrollment and then asks you to sign something with that key at signup.

Anything after that is up to you and your choice of device.

https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S03014...

Meanwhile in South Korea, is this the method you propose to get "cheap nuclear"?

> In November 2012 it was discovered that over 5,000 small components used in five reactors at Yeonggwang Nuclear Power Plant had not been properly certified; eight suppliers had faked 60 warranties for the parts. Two reactors were shut down for component replacement, which was likely to cause power shortages in South Korea during the winter.[25] Reuters reported this as South Korea's worst nuclear crisis, highlighting a lack of transparency on nuclear safety and the dual roles of South Korea's nuclear regulators on supervision and promotion.[26] This incident followed the prosecution of five senior engineers for the coverup of a serious loss of power and cooling incident at Kori Nuclear Power Plant, which was subsequently graded at INES level 2.[25][27]

> In 2013, there was a scandal involving the use of counterfeit parts in nuclear plants and faked quality assurance certificates. In June 2013 Kori 2 and Shin Wolsong 1 were shut down, and Kori 1 and Shin Wolsong 2 ordered to remain offline, until safety-related control cabling with forged safety certificates is replaced.[28] Control cabling in the first APR-1400s under construction had to be replaced delaying construction by up to a year.[29] In October 2013 about 100 people were indicted for falsifying safety documents, including a former chief executive of Korea Hydro & Nuclear Power and a vice-president of Korea Electric Power Corporation.[30]

You measure what is easy to measure, then try to map that to forward returns. That’s why VCs have portfolios.

The name is IMHO a very poor choice. My suspicion is they actually thought this would be a first of its kind, but that would mean they are not the right people to do this.
This problem can be solved by making hydrogen. So there is a way to power society with renewables if you are willing accept the need for baseload power. Of course, renewable energy fanatics do not accept this fact, and often are ideologically opposed to hydrogen. This is in spite of the fact that only hydrogen can save renewables from this problem.

I know this is an aberration during particular boom times, but there’s been a couple of times in my career (circa 2012 and 2020) where new hires were routinely being paid more than more tenured employees at the same level. It’s because large companies try to align comp to some local market benchmark, for example the 75th percentile, but that only ever applies to _new_ offers. I’m yet to experience a company that when faced with data that says there’s been huge growth in compensation year on year go through and give everyone big pay rises.

"He who pays the piper calls the tune" is a saying that's over 400 years old. If your company is depending on VC funding for ongoing survival, the VCs are calling the shots. If your company is generating its own sustainable cashflow, the CEO is in a much stronger position to call the shots.
