Not in California! IMO this practice is dangerous (it intentionally runs current in a path that will divert some of it through the ground), and California has banned it for a long time. In CA, there may be a “primary neutral” that is grounded, but it’s not grounded in multiple places, and the transformer inputs are insulated as if the primary neutral is not grounded.

(I think the actual motivation for the ban is that ground currents are dangerous to cattle.)
I don't care for his tweets or his political thoughts, but I personally think he has done more good through his companies than most others with similar resources. In my opinion, when Gates was still running Microsoft, he did considerably less "good" for humanity than Musk is doing now. And Musk's contemporaries (Zuckerberg, Bezos, et al) don't seem to be interested in doing much good either.

It's easy to be an armchair critic and say you would do more good if you had those resources at your disposal. But I will admit that I have never worked and will never work a quarter as hard as any of the names I've mentioned here. Despite my criticism of Gates, for example, he has done more good with his resources post-Microsoft than I expect I would have been able to do with the same.

It seems like the author really just wants their ideas to be listened to without having to put the political effort into making them listened to. Previously that effort was playing the bureaucracy and now that effort was kissing up to Musk.
The idea is not for people with undesirable opinions to "out" themselves, it's more for the onlookers to realize that platitudes are merely nice-sounding soundbites.

The real world is complicated, and necessitates nuance, caveats and exceptions, and there's really no better example than watching a conversation unfold about said specifics.

> We should have 25 small players, not just 2 big ones.

What would those 25 small players compete on? Chat and video calling arent terribly difficult to build or maintain, and unless you bundle features into them (like M365 integration), there isn't much to differentiate on, and those integrations aren't terribly hard to build either.

My feeling is that chat and video messaging are expected to be bundled in with every OS and office suite and don't have enough value to be stand alone products anymore, in a similar way that browsers are expected to be free.

At least where we are now, people/businesses can get these features without having to pay more, do more security and compliance attestations before putting their entire company communication into one of 25 small platforms, and all of the major options (teams, slack, zoom) basically work the same, though teams is a resource hog.

I don't think anyone wants to think about their messaging platform, they just want something that works, is secure, and is cheap.

Fossil Fuels Made Up 82% of Global Energy Consumption in 2022: New Data

Data published Monday shows that fossil fuels made up 82% of global energy consumption in 2022, another indication that the global transition away from planet-warming sources is moving far too slowly as rich nations continue burning oil, gas, and coal at an unsustainable pace.

“Despite further strong growth in wind and solar in the power sector, overall global energy-related greenhouse gas emissions increased again," said Davenport. "We are still heading in the opposite direction to that required by the Paris Agreement."
Their mistake was that they built something hard that was literally a clone of Shopify. It made it hard for anyone else to want to compete with, but it was exceedingly easy for Shopify to compete with. Most Shopify apps build features that Shopify doesn’t have, and therefore the App Store revenue share model makes more sense for Shopify.

Problem with this is that blackholes will eventually evaporate due to radiating Hawking radiation. That and expansion is (probably) speeding. Evidence is against gravity slowing that down.

Invar is actually a very bad material for most uses, because having zero CTE usually won't match the rest of your system's nonzero CTE. So things will fail pretty quickly.

Matching CTE is a big deal in careful engineering. "Alloy 42" is a great example of that in action: it's an invar-like alloy with its CTE matched to silicon, so chip lead frames expand with silicon dies as they heat up during operation. Not that many things use lead frames anymore....

I used parallels in the past. Mainly to spin up macOS VMs for setup testing with ansible (I maintain a macOS build farm for our studio) And I found the performance decent enough. It all tanks the moment more than one instance is running though.
Two reasons I can think of:

1. It is easier to implement from scratch than understand and modify: we see this everyday at a way smaller scale with libraries/classes/functions. Not saying this is optimal but this is a driver for sure.

2. Recruiting: some devs love doing this. Fancy OSS project to put on your resume, some actually believe there's unfulfilled need, you get people like us discussing it (otherwise we wouldn't be thinking about Bloomberg).
Frameworks are created by abstracting a solution from a class of problems. Users adopt frameworks as they provide a solution to a class of their problems. A key benefit frameworks can provide is scale.

Now there is a class of people (framework industrial complex) that do not care about real solutions but see an opportunity to scale themselves leveraging frameworks to push them to unsuspecting victims, uncaring managers and their teams. As long as universal applicability and scale expands faster than bad press in places decision makers frequent the bubble expands and money is made.

Rust's guarantees are all about what's happening inside your own process with memory ownership. "Security" in the context of a middleware like this is almost certainly more about external validation/auth— what prevents some random node from injecting messages into the queue, or adding itself as a subscriber to the output?

Also, it's a super bad-faith argument to talk about an entire program being in an unsafe block. Rust's unsafe is about specifically and intentionally opting out of certain guardrails in a limited scope of code where it should be fairly easy for a human reviewer to understand and validate the more complex invariants that aren't enforceable by the compiler itself.

Sorry! I didn't mean to imply you had done a bad job publicizing it, I know marketing this kind of stuff is a whole separate job. I'm honestly just surprised the project hasn't gotten more attention organically since it's awesome. Your extension is at least as good as the OP here, if not better now that I've had time to try them both out. I tried probably a dozen half baked VS Code GPT integrations and yours is by far the most polished and usable. Way, way too good to only have 17k downloads on the marketplace. I've been recommending it to my coworkers and friends non-stop.

My one suggestion: I hate to say it but the name RubberDuck and the icon you've used kind of undersell the seriousness of the project. I think the whole "hacker" branding thing is kind of lame but it could be worth some tweaks to make it seem more "cool" :/. Also your website seems to be down!
I grew up with a mature locust tree in the backyard. They are nasty thorns, over a foot long on the trunk (article said as large as a hand, but they can be as long as a forearm), and many inches long on all the branches.

I never even considered eating the pods.

Here is the original Tweet: https://twitter.com/esthercrawford/status/168429104868268441...

Now I’m not one to promote the use of Twitter, but in this case Esther actually had a very nice video at the end where she reads out what her post said in her own voice and I think it comes out better that way. It is 15 minutes though, but you can just have it on in the background, most of it is just text from the post. The important thing is hearing it in Esther’s voice.
> To ask these countries to reduce their energy requirements is to ask their citizens to live a lower standard of life. Hypocritical of those in the West to make that request.

That's a weird take. The West has colonized the rest of the world, enslaved people, exported cheap product to decimate local industry (sometimes at gunpoint), extracted resources (frequently with indigenous people working like slaves), propped up dictators, you name it ...

(I'm not particularly trying to blame the nebulous "West," as many other countries would have done the same if they had the chance. See what Japan did during WW2.)

There are problems that are game stoppers and there are problems that are unavoidable. Cars work. Yes, if you drive 1 million miles you will have cracks in the engine due to thermal expansion, but who cares? Make a new engine and get over it.

That's a fair argument - I disagree, but it's a valid perspective and probably the root of the difference in views. I personally expect docker to be a piece that fits into the system to run containers. If docker expects to effectively be the system at least for things in its domain, then that would explain why it does things that I consider out of its scope. (There's an echo here of the argument about systemd; if you expect systemd to be everything between the kernel and userspace, then of course it includes ex. its own ntpd and cron replacement, whereas if you expect it to be a service manager then every extra function looks like an overreach)

> It's perhaps that I've never really understood why "conservatism" means austere, balanced budgets and "conservatism" means bathroom police. I don't really get the underlying connection I suppose.

"Conservative" has the same root as "conserve," and I think that goes a long way towards explaining the latter "bathroom police" (e.g. conserve the traditional understanding an social convention).

IMHO, the former "austere, balanced budgets" is harder to explain, but (in the American context, at least), I suspect that started as "conserving" the policies from before the New Deal, when taxes were less and the government was much smaller (relative to the rest of the country).

But at a certain point, it just means what it's used to mean, and there's no sense trying too hard to derive it from first principles.

So it's a black box, and you kind of just hope for the best.
I made no claims whatsoever as to what "the average car" does?

I said that "most of your driving doesn't happen on road trips" is not a super convincing response to "I don't want to buy an EV because it'll make road trips a pain in the ass." Because, as I said, people buy cars for the totality of their driving.

The NYC <> Raleigh trip would add 26 minutes in a Hyundai Ioniq 6, which I'll note does in fact surprise me in a positive direction (and also thank you for sharing the cool website!)

In a Model S it'd add an hour, which yes I do find to be an unacceptable cost, and a wildly unacceptable one for the price and comfort difference.

The car question obviously contains many many dimensions. Adding 26 minutes of time is pretty acceptable IMO, but doing so for another $6k of car purchase price and downgrading from a super comfortable SUV to a tiny, tiny sedan... it becomes less acceptable again.

A Volvo XC40, which is pretty close comfort level to the Acura RDX, for example, would add 1.5 hours while keeping price roughly constant.

P.S. to level-set, I actively tried to buy an EV or hybrid. I loved having a plug-in hybrid when all my driving was around town and parked at home in the evening. I agree far, far more people can and should be driving EVs than currently do, but I'm pointing out that the multidimensional problem of car selection is not as simple as "there are lots of chargers now" or "just rent something else for road trips."
"Modern" cars run on electricity and don't have any of those parts or their corresponding problems.
Nothing you wrote contradicts anything I wrote. Specifically, although Fedora support secure boot, if you follow the standard install process, you will get a system with secure boot turned off. I know because I've installed Fedora on a system capable of secure boot.

And, again, it is complicated to get it turned on. How complicated? Take a look:

I severely doubt that even 5% of Linux installs have secure boot turned on because of how complicated it is to get it working. Specifically I imagine that the complicated instructions on the page I just linked will need to be modified depending on the specific secure-boot firmware.

> 99% have never fired a weapon in the line of duty.

This is a misleading fixation: the police can beat, brutalize, and kill people without ever firing a gun. In fact, mistreatment at the hands of the police is probably overwhelmingly physical in nature. The fact that your community has sporty cops does not meaningfully change this truth.

By and large, the police in the US are subject to extremely positive media portrayals. I, like millions of other Americans, grew up watching Law and Order (the good one, not SVU); the police in these shows are shown, with sparingly few exceptions, to be virtuous public servants. Such positive fictionalized portrayals have been instrumental in the public's overall opinion of policing[1], even through real-world evidence to the contrary.

Literally who has improved humanity more this century? I ask with all seriousness.

Electric cars and rockets would not be where they are if he had chosen a different and much less difficult path.
ICE vehicles have the same issue with range, but we don’t focus so much on it, I think because we just believe that the range os enough, and if I need to refuel I can do that just about anywhere quickly. In those cases that we are heading into an area where that might not be true, we check our fuel and ensure we’re topped up to get all the way through.

I wonder if the reason is focusing on a specific range, rather than a fuel capacity. Gallons is a pretty intuitive quantity that people are comfortable understanding. Maybe we need to focus away from range for EVs and instead focus on kWh capacity of the batteries. This is apparently less useful, since I really care about actual range - but it’s more accurate and allows me to use my human understanding to think about whether I have enough relative to my driving circumstances. Just like with gallons of gas.
