Converting shaft to electrical energy should be 90%+ efficient, yeah.

This is about the efficiency we should expect from modern EVs making traction power (with some better, some worse), and the efficiency backwards has some nuance about torque vs power, but generally generation is using the same principles & systems in similar configurations.

If anything, I think efficiency should be higher for comparable-ish systems, since a range extender can tune for an incredibly narrow power-band where-as EV electric motors have a range of rpm they have to operate across.

> WebGL is ANGLE

I don't know what ANGLE is, but WebGL is based on OpenGL. As this article says "WebGL’s API is really just OpenGL ES 2.0"

> WebCodecs is also ffmpeg

Both allow conceptually similar things (low level access to specific parts of a media stream). But the APIs are dramatically different.

> WebTransport is QUIC

No it is an API to expose lower level parts of HTTP/3 to developers. HTTP/3 uses QUIC as a transport protocol, but it is very wrong to say it "is" QUIC.

> WebSockets are TCP

Well WebSockets is built on top of TCP. As is HTTP/1 and HTTP/2. (HTTP/3 uses UDP via QUIC)

One certainly doesn't need a PhD to program in a functional language. But I can tell you, there is a big gap between being able to do it and convincing someone to hire you. I even have a PhD in comp sci, and AFAICT, it hasn't convinced anyone that I can do anything in particular.

I didn't say complex mechanics are bad, just that if you require your players to sit through a training session before they play the game, then you've probably designed your game poorly. Elden Ring has rather complex mechanics, with all of the gear and ability interactions, but the tutorial is mostly just the gameplay, and the skippable tutorial at the beginning is just a short section of gameplay with pop-up tips.
The Apple II computers, for example, had only upper-case characters in ROM (and screens were 40 characters wide). Lower -case characters would have required a second ROM, which obviously increased costs. Eventually models with lower-case capabilities were added, as was 80-column output.

I'm a graphics programmer who has quite a bit of experience with WebGL, and (disclaimer) I've also contributed to the WebGPU spec.

> To be clear, me not being able to internalize WebGL is probably a shortcoming of my own. People smarter than me have been able to build amazing stuff with WebGL (and OpenGL outside the web), but it just never really clicked for me.

WebGL (and OpenGL) are awful APIs that can give you a very backwards impression about how to use them, and are very state-sensitive. It is not your fault for getting stuck here. Basically one of the first things everybody does is build a sane layer on top of OpenGL; if you are using gl.enable(gl.BLEND) in your core render loop, you have basically already failed.

The first thing everybody does when they start working with WebGL is basically build a little helper on top that makes it easier to control its state logic and do draws all in one go. You can find this helper in three.js here: https://github.com/mrdoob/three.js/blob/master/src/renderers...

> * discard the write operation

> Why is private equity ending up with all these resources?

Most of the cash (50-90% - changed through time to time) comes from the banks - leverage, the investing commitments to the PE firm by e.g. pension funds and private invetors, take only a small portion of the equity. The leverage enables the high returns of PE funds, the high debt burden on the company incentivizes the PE firm additionally to make the bough company more efficient and profitable. But this has changed through the last few years. PE firms are starting investing more of their investors money, due to lack of banks providing big loans for big transactions.

In it, it clearly states that the levelized cost of energy for solar PV rooftop residential ranges from $115/MWH while gas peaking is $114/MWH and nuclear is $141.

Your source also states quite clearly that these costs depend on the circumstances (i.e., each case is a case) and it points to unsubsidized costs.

If I get a quote from a rooftop vendor that sells gold plated PV panels to install in a cave, that does not mean that residential PV panels have an expensive energy cost.

For breast cancer, we're talking 88.6% vs 85.8%. It's very much on par. We generally do better with lower socioeconomic status people as well. Another thing to consider is that we treat everyone. You don't have to consider of it's going to bankrupt your family before you engage in treatment. So we often treat people who are sicker and poorer because we don't have affluence as a selection mechanism for our patient population.

The original situation covers all scenarios. Any choice of door you make and all possible doors the host might open. The odds are the same every time.

The proposed 50/50 scenario only makes sense for some possible situations - those where the host draws a door at random AND the door isn't the same one I chose AND the door opened isn't the car... once you put that situation on equal footing with the original one (all possible doors chosen and all possible doors opened) then it isn't 50/50 any more. Some of those situations are 100% wins (I chose door 3, host opens door 3, car is behind door 3) and some are 100% losses (I chose door 2, host opens door 1, car is behind door 1). Once you look at all outcomes, 50/50 doesn't apply. It becomes 33/66.

If your point is that you can cherry-pick a subset of outcomes and get 50/50 odds then I can't really argue, but I'm also afraid I don't how that's useful.

Good advice. Because unlike a scientific theory no one can really prove (or disprove) her opinion about what policy should be applied to antitrust issues. It doesn’t matter in politics who’s “right” in this way, just who can convince others that they’re right. (the “right” people too)
Software build has essential complexity. Dealing with peculiarities in config syntax is a mere drop in the vast lake of unhappiness wept from having to deal with build at all. It's the tools that are salient, so folks may perceive that it's the tools at fault and must be reworked, but it isn't really: complexity in build tools is an emergent property of the domain, and any sufficiently developed reinvention will asymptotically correspond to makefiles.

I'd love to work in "a function language". You're correct that I might not enjoy Haskell, however it might not be worth even trying if there are no jobs.

Purescript also looks promising.

I could invest all the time in Haskell first but there is an opportunity cost that I'm trying to maximize.
I dont think this really exists.

Zig does have some memory safety, but not as much as Rust of course. I think Zig made the decision to add as much safety as they could, without crossing the complexity boundary. any further memory safety and you're about in Rust land. maybe some middle ground language is possible, but not one that I know of.

And yet so many interviewers say, "We don't care whether the code is perfect, we just want to see how you think."

The insanity for job applicants is that you never know which kind of interviewer you're going to get until it's too late. Every interviewer has their own nitpicks, yet they somehow believe that their specific nitpicks should be assumed to be universal requirements.

And then hiring managers complain that good programmers are difficult to find, lacking the self-awareness to see how many candidates they arbitrarily exclude for dumb reasons. I've seen people say "I'd pass on a candidate for X" for more or less all X.

They seem to be popular in rural areas of Western Washington. I saw several while visiting the San Juan Islands last year, and have spotted them fairly frequently on the Olympic Peninsula - along with other fellow RHD Japanese imports like the Mitsubishi Delica and Nissan Skyline.
The latter seem to exist in far greater quantity, however. I live in a suburban neighborhood with plenty of trucks, and I see them doing truck things all the time. Towing boats, travel trailers, fifth wheels, or hauling stuff. I can't think of a single example within a quarter of me where someone owns a truck for looks. These are all just garden variety F150s and similar, rarely the higher trim models, and not a one of them is a bro-dozer.

I won't deny the silly bro-dozers exist, they definitely do. But at least in my area they are just a fraction of the total trucks on the road.

Big PE firms are now setting up new investment vehicles that specialize in funding big investments of other PE firms. PE firms are starting to invest more and more into equity with their own investors money, thus amount of investments shrink - get more expensive - and the capital needed rises. But I am not sure that this causes more PE firms to close shop on a large scale, but more likely resulting in less transactions being done overall.

There is no expectation that a job will fall on my lap. However, if I have a better chance of winning the lottery than landing a job in a technology I'm not likely to bother learning the technology.

I'm not convince Haskell will do more to making me a better programmer than another language could. If that other language has job prospects I'm going to lean into that.

It's so interesting & rare an example discussed here: States actually being regulated & bound by something.

The article isn't exactly hopeful, but it acknowledges that there are tools available & being developed to push back against illiberal state control of the media, there are tools to promote pro-democratic values. And that's, like, so far, across most of the world, been purely conditional & opt-in. Any nation could change it's attitude & disposition whenever. It can make whatever rules it wants.

This is why the Declaration of Independence of Cyberspace exists: because cyberspace was a place of information & sharing, a place where states didn't have say & couldn't cut off at the knees any voice they didn't like, after an election or two or out of whack "checks and balances" got out of hand. Nations have to keep regulating themselves reasonably, have to stay on a narrow course & not fall off, or freedom is lost. But the internet is a great unplace, a place across all places, that is superior & less imposed.

Whether the future turns the Internet being a Lowest Common Denominator of possibilities & ideas, or whether it remains a refuge for Jasmine Revolution style free thinking/collaborating (Tunisia, &al) is one of the biggest new questions. For decades there has been an great freedom online to talk, to think, as an unplace where sites can pick jurisdictions, but the new overarching overwhelming trend is for nations to claim rights over anything that happens anywhere on the internet: if their citizens are involved, they make the rules, even if those citizens are on sites thousands of miles away.

The topic here almost never comes up. Nothing bounds most nations. These nations say they have sovereign power to do what they please, how they please, with the lawmaking & systems they please. So far, there is almost nothing in the world to challenge or restrict that, no recognized outside force that keeps nations recognizing their obligations: a couple court decisions & rights we thought we had were gone. I want to see more of this. I want to see more nations that actually have to answer for what they do. I don't think the system of asking for internal balance is sustainable over time; things grow out of whack. We need systems that keep each other accountable & honest, means to insure rights that transcend the vagaries of whatever makes up the State today. This is an incredibly prescient article, about one of the biggest issues of our times.
