The energy costs are a bit of a red herring depending on local conditions. In California we currently "curtail" i.e. discard a huge amount of renewable energy in the spring season. If we can seasonally apply that energy to desalination, and store the fresh water for later, it is essentially a huge time-shifting battery that stores excess spring energy for the summer.
Because our government doesn't understand technology and generally gets fleeced anytime they encounter it.

Remember the Phenix pay system? It was an IBM project that was supposed to save us 70 million a year, instead they paid IBM an additional 2+ BILLION to try and fix the broken crap they'd delivered. Never even worked, they're currently taking bids to replace it already.

80% of public servants had pay issues, many were foreclosed on because they couldn't pay their mortgages, someone even killed themselves.

And we expect the Canadian government to accurately determine ROI on digital ad spend? That's hard enough for skilled people in the space (some who have found it to have no effect altogether). Our government is simply going to be fleeced for every penny they have (and then some).

The term "Lisp" is undefined. Common Lisp is an actual standard for a programming language with a specification. Its core symbols are reserved identifiers.

Anyway, if you would be allowed to reimplement a built-in operator, then from then on you would be using the new operator and you would be limited to its syntax.

Common Lisp OTOH provides namespaces (called "package") and there is a pre-defined namespace "COMMON-LISP" for the core language.
Even if you think newspapers are vital to democracy, that doesn't oblige other businesses to sell newspapers. These newspapers own their own distribution mechanisms (websites) that are unaffected by the decision of one third party website to part ways with them.

Okay, but facebook is really ubiquitous so that makes it different... How is this any different from... the one grocery store in town removing their newspaper rack? It's the one grocery store, everybody in town shops there so that makes it super important or something. But the newspapers are still free to mail their newspaper to everybody's front door. They still have their websites too, anybody who wants to read those newspapers can still do so.

1. You shouldn't swap on ZFS, but really
2. You shouldn't swap on a filesystem, but really
3. You shouldn't swap at all.

On a VM host you have a bit of leeway for memory overcommit, but ideally if you have a box that frequently has to rely on swap, something is bad wrong. I don't think it's really fair to criticize a worst-choice configuration for being poorly supported here. There are simply too many opportunities for catch-22/deadlock scenarios in the interaction of the fs and allocator during OOM...

That's technically something the runtime implementation can choose, but for Tokio, the most common runtime, the sibling comment is correct that the only way to avoid having to explicitly define it is to use an annotation on the main function (which just generates the call to instantiate the runtime via a macro).
Pointing out that IP is broken is _not_ easy because most people believe in the contradictory notion of intellectual property, you included, not knowing the legal history of IP, the legal and economic history of the concept of property, and so on. If it were easy, it would be obvious to everybody that 1) IP law is immoral and 2) nothing bad would happen if it's abolished outright.

> People are increasingly identifying as “independent” because the two parties don’t have enough nuance.

Seems incoherent. The purpose of parties is to put someone in power. Arguing about positions or policies or whatever else some 101 class tells you about makes no sense.

The thing that really exists is an elective office which confers power on the holder. Aggregations of different people over different time with unformed beliefs are meaningless.

Personally I don’t think patents do what people believe they do (encourage innovation). It’s a bigger discussion but briefly, the only literal function of a patent is to discourage innovation by legally barring anyone from using a patented idea as part of a new innovation. The idea we have is that the secondary effects of this will be increased profits for inventors and therefore more innovation. But actually there’s loads of secondary effects and often many of them outweigh the effect of increased profit. For every one inventor that gets a patent there might be 100 prevented from using that idea in a different and innovative way.

A classic example is 3D printers. Stratasys spent 15 years selling printers that cost tens of thousands of dollars. It wasn’t until the patent expired that people figured out how to make them for $250. Those cheaper printers are enabling mechanical engineers and designers to accelerate their process and make other new innovations faster. Stratasys had such a powerful patent they never bothered innovating down in price, instead rested on their laurels selling $25k printers to big customers.

So how many inventions were delayed or shelved because the inventors couldn’t afford a $25,000 3D printer, and $250 printers didn’t exist yet? Both Stratasys and IBM held patents related to 3D printing and they had to cross license to go in to production, so how many others would have come up with 3D printing in the 1990’s if they had not been patented? Would first mover advantage in a free market have been enough to stimulate development of 3D printers? Could we have had $2000 3D printers in the early 2000’s (Stratasys sold theirs for $30k) instead of ten years later? How many engineers would have invented new gadgets faster if they had a 3D printer ten years earlier?

A couple of good friends of mine spun out hardware start-ups over the past five years. Even though I'm a data/software guy, I helped out with both, up to and including soldering components onto demo boards. Since I've a couple of kids, mortgage, temperamental automobile etc. etc. I wasn't in the position to work for either startup for low salary/high equity though, and I'm kind of glad I didn't TBH.

The first startup should be way bigger and well known than it is, but the product/market fit isn't too good and marketing in general is poorly executed. This startup looks at electro-muscular stimulation to help out diabetic and pre-diabetic folks with getting some exercise (and folks with mobility/joint issues). To be honest I can't see this company surviving another five years unless there's some radical shake up in the way it's marketed, which is as a consumer device rather than a medical device.

The second startup is a spin out from a medical devices incubator, and is a real niche market - basically nerve implants to manage chronic pain. The target market is something ridiculously small, on the order of a handful of people per 100k who may benefit from it. At the moment, the only thing keeping this startup afloat seems to be generous research grants, can't really see how they can stay going unless the overall plan is to drive some hype and hope to get acquired by some bigger fish.

Netflix gives back quite a lot. You'll see "Sponsored by: Netfix" quite often in commit messages:

* https://www.freshsource.org/commits.php

There isn't much special secret sauce that Netflix has at the OS layer of things, so there's not much reason for them to keep the patches in-house (and then have to maintain as the public source rolls forward). Other vendors that give back are Dell EMC Isilon (keeping their OneFS code private), Juniper, Netgate, etc.

Sony is unique in that it was a one-time fork, and now that the product is out there's not much churn in things.

Most vendors have learned that keeping things in-house just causes pain down the road when you have to re-base with the latest FreeBSD release.
The problem is political parties at all. People should vote for good people that they believe will do the best possible job.

Parties instead confuse and obfuscate the issue as the parties abandon responsibility in favor of scoring points. I mean England, Germany and France all have more than 2 parties yet the people there have similar complaints and arguments as the people in the US.

The problem is parties themselves. Good, wise and just men and women should be chosen to govern, not people who tell us what we want to hear.

Having opinions is one thing, spewing these opinions, unsolicited, in a public rants while being on a job is another. Spewing them in highly offensive form of a personal insult, and telling the HR to shove it when they object is yet another.

I'd probably rather work for a company that requires people to be professional on a job than one that allows them to "authentically" go wild and throw shit around. There are limits to how much "authenticity" I want to see from my coworkers. Everybody has their own opinions, but there's a time when one needs to choose between staying a professional or let oneself loose. And I'd rather work in a place where the former is encouraged.

Yes, forcing it in the workflow might be bad for personal growth and overall culture.

You're right, that isn't my intent. I didn't say not to develop an opinion, or to learn to care about issues that affect people other than you. My aim was to communicate that you aren't required to develop and express an opinion about every single issue.

Attempting to formulate an opinion on every issue that can possibly come up is a fool's errand; carefully following the outrage cycle for the sake of expressing an opinion that falls on the "correct" side of issues you have no stakes in is even worse, as it adds empty noise to the conversation and distorts the Overton window away from the concerns of people who do have stakes in the issue.

this interview not about candidate building some system at scale themself. building and supporting has trials and lessons you only learn by doing and failing, not through interview prep or YouTube videos

I heard about commercial pilots making mistakes, but not to be plain incompetent. Reading the article, even the transcription of the radio conversation is one example - I don't need the author of the article explain what is wrong there, I know it myself (2 weeks ago I had to renew my radio operator license, so I just had the refresher course). I don't even have too high standards for pilots, it is a basic expectations the airlines to hire and maintain competent pilots that will not crash planes on their first incident. This is because most of the plane accidents I know personally are either pilot error or technical problems that could be avoided or mitigated by any decent pilot.
