I feel like they’ve lost my trust in the climate movement. I sincerely believe that it’s a small kernel of truth surrounded by lies and degrowth ideology. I want to live in a clean, beautiful planet; and share many things with climate activists. However, I can’t get behind the insane push for green washing, ESG, climate alarmicism, JustStopOil loonies, etc. This is not science, it’s ideological activism of the worst kind: to regress as a human species. The same group of people that keep drumming climate change have other opinions that are predictable: depopulation, degrowth, reducing quality of life, social justice fundamentalism (Tim Urban’e term), etc all stemming from one political axis point located at the top-left corner. I wouldn’t be so against it if it didn’t have an authoritarian aspect to it. Soon you’ll have California mandated carbon budget. Fuck that.

The problem here is that the requirement of one tiny little feature on top of a browser's HTML engine might force you to implement a DOM circus from scratch, simply because you can't change the browser's code. Should that feature then be left unimplemented? That's not for you or me to decide. Also: it might not be known beforehand what features will be added later, so it makes sense to use a framework because at least you will be able to extend it.

The article sidesteps something that seems important to my naïve eye: Water is easy to store if you don't have very much of it, so this is the kind of thing you can do when the sun is shining and store for nights and rainy days. Storing water for a year or two would be hard, of course.
> Lets restate some: "Insist on doing everything through “channels.” Never permit short-cuts to be taken in order to expedite decisions." -> "Insist on doing everything through 'short-cuts'. Never permit official channels to be taken in order to expedite decisions"

You're doing this wrong. The list tells you not to "Never permit short-cuts to be taken in order to expedite decisions." Not and Never cancel out, leaving you with "permit short-cuts to be taken in order to expedite decisions"

Permitting shortcuts is not an insistence on always taking shortcuts. Your other "restatements" aren't any better.
Hyundai/Kia needs about 20 minutes of charging per 3 hours of driving.

The important difference from ICE refuelling is that you don't have to be by the car when it charges.

I've taken road trips across Europe, and it's been fine. 20min is about as much as I need for a bathroom break and to get a coffee.
I started this book with coworkers and it fell really flat.

I haven't read the original, but knowing Scheme I could see why the book would be structured the way it is. In JavaScript, though, it really just doesn't work. The code is horribly non-idiomatic for JS, and because JS isn't actually Scheme the order of the concepts introduced doesn't make sense. When it does talk about JavaScript, it's condescending towards it in ways that were off-putting to my coworkers (we're a TS shop), which is weird given that it's a book in JS.

Someday I'm going to get around to reading the original, but I can't recommend this one.
There is a huge market for PHEVs if Toyota had the competency to take it. Theor Prime vehicles are in high demand, just not made in large numbers for whatever reason. Tacoma and 4Runner-like trucks with a PHEV drive train would sell like crazy.
Seems green hydrogen is the ultimate strategy. What do you think of recent developments of high efficiency electrolysis of sea water without precious metal catalysts? [1]

Hydrogen will be needed for industrial processes as electric power can't generate temperatures high enough and hydrogen in the form of ammonia makes a pretty good energy storage system that does not need any special metals to use for power in a modified ICE. The sweet spot for ammonia engines seems to be long haul container shipping where batteries would be infeasible.[2]

The whole IQ is only one measure argument really misses the main lesson from psychometrics. It’s entirely well known that IQ test taking is a specific skill. However it’s also known that there is a g factor that predicts about 50% of performance on basically all tasks with a cognitive component. The other 50% is indeed skill specific. So someone with a slightly above average g factor could still be a world class composer or quarterback. Contrariwise someone with an extremely high g might be very good at many different tasks, but not world class at any. So when one talks about measuring intelligence in a general sense, one ought to be talking about g.

This question depends on the specifics of local energy generation, so you’re not going to get good answers without zooming in.

Japan’s electrical grid has some unique challenges that explain why they are so interested in hydrogen. An article about the UK isn’t all that relevant for that,

Talking about the US electrical grid as a single entity doesn’t make a whole lot of sense when it’s not a single, nationwide market. There can definitely be local problems as we saw in Texas and California.

> these details are often lost in the two-week sprint cycle or other realities of modern software development process

Indeed. This is why we should abandon the "modern" software development process. Bureaucracy & consulting appears to be producing shit software. By whatever means necessary, the developer needs to be made to care more about the quality of the final product.

Making "UI/UX" a label, project category or other management abstraction is a gigantic red flag to me. This tells me it is everyone's job, therefore it is effectively no one's job. Someone needs to take deep ownership in things that end in "experience" or it won't work.

You'd be amazed at what others around you will start stepping up to if you set even the tiniest example. Certainly, there are those who will do bad work on purpose, but you won't change those. All you can do is your best and let HR take care of the rest.
That's true, but converting recipes to Openwrt is not that hard, it's just tedious.
That the cost of everything being cheaper is that
we have to buy more of it, creating more waste

Is this true? It's an interesting question and one that's difficult to answer in any objective way.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Durable_good

Using the economists' definition of "durable goods" I would say that for the most part, quality has improved. Cars last 2-3x longer these days. Computers have been "fast enough" for a while and can last 10+ years. Perhaps professional tools have taken a nosedive but my low-end Ryobi tools last essentially forever with light household weekend usage.

Not a "durable good", but cheap clothing also feels way more reliable. Cheap synthetic or cotton/synthetic blends are now comfortable and breathable (which is a relatively new development) and last pretty much forever.

Some things have gotten anecdotally worse. Everybody says that large household appliances like refrigerators, washers, and dryers have really taken a nosedive in quality and/or repairability. It certainly feels true but, I don't know what the actual numbers might say.

But I don't know, man. Affordable crap from 2023 actually feels better than the affordable crap I remember from 1983 or 1993. It certainly doesn't feel worse.

What I loved most about my class based on SICP was that I learned a whole new way to reason about code, and that came from using Scheme. They changed the intro class at Berkeley to use Python a while back, when the folks who knew lisp/scheme retired, and I think it made the class much worse.

This is really the death knell of SICP isn't it?
I think even more interesting is that they chose to forgo the rather robust and easy to use API offered by Mailchimp in the first place.
No, we don't need to change that. You're on a tourist visa. You arrive on day X and you leave on day Y. If circumstances change due to events out of your control, then there are solutions for that.

You want better terms, improve the situation in India. Favorable terms are given to citizens of countries where they're unlikely to violate the terms of their visa, like overstaying the validity of their visa.
No. It's not. Set up git-shell instead of bash, and you're done. It's literally a one-liner.

There are similar one-liners for most other use-cases.

As a footnote, most environments I'm in, this is a non-issue since devs have ssh access to a common server somewhere. Once you get to the org size where this matters, it doesn't matter since you need Infrastructure with a capital I regardless.

You are overgeneralising. There is bad commenting, yes, but you yourself listed several examples of when comments are needed: if we continued, this could be a long thread.

Sometimes you need comments explaining an API that you are using, because its workings are not immediately obvious.
Then the smell is not coming from your code but from the code you're calling.

I just checked these commands out to update my git knowledge, but when I saw the following in the docs [1][2] I immediately marked these commands as not (yet) worth it to learn since the way these commands work might change.

So that might have something to do with it as well.
Especially if there are stable commands that I already know that have the same functionality.

>> There are some formulations that purport to have higher bioavailability on a gram-for-gram basis according to trials, but their price is often high enough that it’s cheaper to take more of a generic CoQ10 than to buy an expensive formulation.

Isn't bioavailability ensured mainly by a liposomic form? Sinclair mentioned in podcasts that he is taking for example 1 gram of resveratrol with a pinch of jogurt (=fat) to increase bioavailability.
If you take a powder form capsule with a pinch of olive oil, shouldn't it increase its bioavailability? (to cheaply emulate a liposomic form)

I find saddening that the majority of the youth is either stuck in dead end jobs or in lowly-paying slightly career-related jobs.
I try to push anyone I meet under 30 to just leave the country. The only other option is to embrace entrepreneurship, even though it requires one to grow a thick skin, stomach and an indestructible carapace.
I might be wrong trying to de-populate a country of old farts, but everyone has the right to strive for the life they want to lead, or at least get to choose a job/career.
One last note of folklore - I find Italian politics amusing: both left and right have been focusing on civil rights debate, without a grand scheme but rather a day-to-day routine of putting out fires as they come along (the motto being 'just kick the can down the road').

We need leaders with a vision, not social media influencers that follow behind whatever is trending on social media this week (aka the flavour of the week).

Once again, congratulations! :)
Sorry for hijacking the celebrations with a rant.
> If your concern is climate change, lobbying for EV use probably isn’t the biggest bang for the buck.

Absolutely is not. Passenger road transport accounts for only about 10% of CO2 emissions[1], and reducing that is one of the more difficult approaches because you're asking millions of people to each change their personal habits which individually have essentially no impact.

State regulatory changes applying to large industrial emitters will have the biggest impact and while the costs will ultimately be borne by customers, it is more likely to actually happen. This includes both encouraging "green" energy production such as nuclear and renewables, as well as demanding capture and/or reduction of emissions.

What does "should" mean?

If I say "you should really get that cut checked out, it looks infected", then I'm making a recommendation to you or giving you advice (solicited or not).

But here you seem to be giving advice to a class of jobs, which doesn't make a lot of sense. A class of jobs has no agency.

Are you advising plumbers (one example of a blue collar job) to charge more for their services? I'm sure the thought occurred to them and it doesn't work for one reason or another.

Are you advising customers of the plumber to pay more? Have you ever requested plumber services, and if so, did you pay the plumber "much more" (in other words, are you taking your own advice)?

Ah I was wondering about that. Their formula look suspiciously like the definition of Renyi entropy.

I'm not too sure where the category theoretical stuff enters though. They mention that metric spaces have a magnitude, but their end result looks more like a channel capacity (with the confusion matrix being the probability to confuse one species with another). Which, you know, makes sense, if you've got 'N' signals but they're so easily confused with one another that you can only send 'n' signals worth of data then your channels are not too diverse.

They do mention that this is equivalent to some modified version of the category theoretical heuristic, but is that really interesting? The link to Euler characteristic is intriguing, but from the way they end up at their final definition I'm not sure if metric spaces are really the natural context to talk about these things. It almost feels like they've stepped over an enriched category that would provide a more natural fit.
Sounds like you've got a personal vendetta against modern microwaves.
Unfortunately there is no if-expression in JS so sometimes it's awkward _not_ to use ternaries in multi-line statements - for instance, when writing in an expression only context like a string interpolation or JSX. It's also just annoying to not be able to assign conditionally without using it, instead of a more clear and readable if/else. It's one of the more annoying nits of the Algol legacy.

Oh, but fully agreed, nested ternaries is right out. In fact, usually in those other cases too, it's just annoying that there's not a good alternative.

Like ARM? https://github.com/ARM-software/armnn

Optimization for this workload has arguably been in-progress for decades. Modern AVX instructions can be found in laptops that are a decade old now, and most big inferencing projects are built around SIMD or GPU shaders. Unless your computer ships with onboard Nvidia hardware, there's usually not much difference in inferencing performance.
This sounds like a feature, not a bug.

Then where are their PHEVs? Their Prime vehicles have long waitlists and are produced in relatively small numbers. Either they can't make the margins with them or their access to battery supplies is very limited.
As a layperson when it comes to batteries, this whole 15-85% thing seems like a silly detail that should be handled by computers. Like, at 85% the readout should say “100%”, and at 15% it should say “0%”.

Is that something they do, or do they expect users to be aware of these thresholds?
No.... once upon a time, I was called upon to write a program that zapped the boot sector (and thus partition table) of a hard drive.

I wrote it, and it required a password, which was "how can it miss?", and did it's work in less than a second. Boom, non-bootable disk.

Why don't I regret it? It XORed the boot sector by FFs, so you could just run it again, and be back to normal.
The gov should do what Singapore does: pay senior officials well but exterminate any sort of non monetary perquisites and impeach or fire violators. Also ban any gov person from trading on insider info.

Also, if I had it my way, no government person while in the employ of the gov, should be able to vote at the level they represent or work in. If they’re fed employees no voting in fed elections and so on. Yes, I know under our constitution this would violate their rights. But you know, one can wish. I see it as a conflict of interest.

// How well can it be recycled at end-of-life?

The fact that the chemistries are changing and diverse is the most difficult thing from an End-of-life perspective. A lot of businesses born around recycling todays battery (lots of lithium and cobalt relatively speaking) are not economical on some of the newer chemistries (looking at you Li-Fe) because they cheapened out the expensive elements.
> 1200km is more than enough. Nobody should be driving longer distances in one day anyway.

It's not necessarily about the range, there's also charging frequency. I personally don't have anywhere to charge my car where I live (apartment complex) so I have to go to my office building or my city hall/library, etc.. and of course pay for it, while I coordinate whatever errands I have to match the charging time. I would like to do that as seldom as possible.
It's surprisingly difficult to separate salt from water to the point that it's drinkable. That difficulty translates to it being very costly and that cost is so prohibitive that most places will choose another option. Like even building massive pipelines to transport water across 1000's of kilometers is probably going to be a better option. It's pretty much always going to be more economical to use the water that the earth is naturally desalinating for us.
