> That is literally antithetical to the entire process of proper science, and the exact kind of behavior/mentality that most scientists hate due to how it warps things like funding.

Have you considered that the way we “do science” is actually a broken process made of absolute bollocks?

Tbf, it’s not scientists who make the funding choices. Those are political decisions made by bureaucrats and functionaries and that whole process is totally opaque/fucked.
Pretty simple then. Just doing the exact opposite of what Google is doing. Makes sense

I met maddog circa 2000 in Paris for an event I had co-organised. We asked him a lot of questions, and got some insightful answers (sometimes wrapped in long stories, like in the linked article).

The one I remember most: "Q: how can we help Linux gain market share on the desktop, beyond the few percentage point it already has?" "A: that won't work. Find a market that doesn't currently use computers, create a product that can address the needs of this market, and make sure that it uses Linux. For instance, think about smartphones."
After all the driver updates a770/750 already seem to be quite competitive in that segment already even if the launch was quite rough.

Another approach to this kind of thing would be storing most of your data as a log of events ("event sourcing") and having "Retroactive Address Change" as its own business-process, one which can be linked to the other steps like sending a refund check or crediting an account.

In that architecture, the database-row will often remain plain and boring with just one "current address." That "projection" (a result of events-so-far) would simply switch whenever the "Retroactive Address Change" event comes down the pipeline, which would be good enough for, say, the system that is sending out monthly statements.

Anybody needing more, like the exact history of changes and realizations, would be running their own processor and projection, scanning the event-stream in a way suitable to their specific use-case.
If this is true then why, for the love of God, can I not walk into my local and buy a halfway decent printer?
We use a setup where we have multiple repos with Terraform configuration and thus multiple Terraform states. We then use Terraform remote state to link everything together. I am talking about 10-20 repos and states. Orthogonal to that, we use multiple workspaces to describe the infra in different environments.

The problems I have personally experienced with this approach are:

- if you update one of the root Terraform states, you need to execute a Terraform apply for every repo that depends on that Terraform state; developers do not do that because either they forget or they do know but are too lazy and subsequently are surprised that things are broken

- if you use workspaces for maintaining the infra in different environments, and certain components are only needed in specific environments, then the Terraform code becomes pretty ugly (using count which makes a single thing suddenly a list of things, which you then have to account for in the outputs which becomes very verbose)

Is Terragrunt something that would help us? I do not know Terragrunt, and a quick look at the website did not make that clear for me.

> The bread that tastes good to most is the one that has shitloads of sugar added. Good for the company bad for people.

In all the places I lived, you can buy different kinds of bread. My taste buds prefer bread without sugar added. (And that's also the most common kind in Germany, where I grew up.)

If you need a nanny that bans you from consuming sugary bread, please hire one.

(There might be some laws in Germany that ban you from calling stuff with too much sugar in it 'Brot', but you can still make it and sell it under a more creative name. So no regulation keeps this kind of product off the market in Germany.)

> Shit, even with your example of chocolate in the US capitalism got us shitty ass Hershey "chocolate". Why would that happen ya think?

The market provides what customers are willing to pay for. I don't know why mainstream Americans have weird taste in chocolate.

Germans get the kind of chocolate they are willing to pay for. And Americans get the kind of chocolate they are willing to pay for.

As far as I can tell, it's perfectly legal to sell Hershey's in Germany. (You might just have to get creative with the name, I'm not sure.)

There's about as much 'capitalism' in German chocolate as in American chocolate.

Lest you think everything is great in Germany, they have their own weirdness. Eg in mainstream German supermarkets you can't find the quality of rice that would be acceptable in eg Singapore. You'd have to go out of your way to a specialist store and pay a premium.

It's perfectly legal in both Singapore and Germany to sell low quality rice. Mainstream Germans just don't care enough.

We have extensive records on what happens after volcano eruptions. So we know what happens. Because it has happened many times before.

And yes, if the alternative is an extinction-level event, for example a runaway greenhouse effect turning the earth into Venus, then stomping on the brakes with anything whatsoever is a perfectly valid proposal. And doing something comparable to a volcano doesn't come close to "anything whatsoever", because, as I said, we have records of how this plays out, and it happens all the time anyway.

And if you are saying that this isn't an acceptable way to proceed, which is a perfectly valid position, then very obviously the alternative cannot be an extinction-level event such as a runaway greenhouse effect that will turn Earth into Venus.

What you cannot have is have it both ways. Which is where a lot of people currently seem to be positioned. As in "we are literally destroying the planet AND geo-engineering is unacceptable". Nope. Pick one.

Furthermore, injecting SO2 into the atmosphere is easy enough that it is well in reach of pretty much every state actor whose population is going to be most severely affected by climate change, in particular "wet-bulb events". So the question of whether we want this to happen or not really isn't relevant. It almost certainly will happen.

Meanwhile, in Tonga: "Tonga experiences unusual cold during El Nino alert" [1]

> Tonga's Meteorology Department said on Friday that the Pacific island country is experiencing unusually cold weather, with cool days and cooler nights, and climate is leaning towards El Nino conditions.

> According to the Matangi Tonga news website, a low of 9.3 degrees Celsius, recorded at the end of July in Tongatapu island where the capital Nuku'alofa is located, was the lowest on record for the island country of this year.

But because it goes against the hysteria of the "world is boiling!" this didn't get posted in here, nor was it taken by the major Western news sources (I cannot find it on the BBC website, for example).

It's the COVID hysteria all over again.

People are getting caught up on the loops thing. All I meant was in my line of work I often end up with many special cases of general processes.

> Has Nvidia assembled one of the greatest engineering teams in human history, or is everyone else just not interested in competing?

> I don't get it. Intel have decades of relevant expertise, and have been printing money for years due to AMD's effective absence from the top-class CPU market between 2005 and 2015.

Noone gets it. From an armchair-expert point of view, anything nvidia can do, anyone else can do, they only need money, and they (Intel, Qualcomm, FAANG) have it.

Probably indeed noone was interested in competing, it didn't seemed to be a good deal, until the past few years.
It is very uncomplicated in fact:

Most people here on HN are rationally capable of understanding the challenges humanity faces right now.

What many aren't capable of is accepting the conclusion that we all have to change the way we live and quite possibly even the way we organize society in order to mitigate the irreperable problems our way of living has already caused.

Deep down they might suspect this is necessary, but it is much more comfortable to believe in a solution that is only technological and go on as we did. That is why discussions around such technological silver bullets are always toxic: people want to believe.

Aren't these results mostly luck driven though? Lee and Kim were lucky to go to that university in Korea, lucky that their professor researched superconductor theory, and lucky that the professor's theory was correct.

At the same time, other researchers around the world weren't so lucky.

But because we don't know what's going to pan out without trying it out, the other researchers are just as integral to the process of discovery.

Is it fair to reward Lee and Kim for their luck, and let everyone else get screwed? Wouldn't it be more fair to make sure everyone is appropriately compensated to begin with?

Very approximately, Americans spends about 20% of their GDP on healthcare. Britain spends about 10%. Singapore spends about 5%. (Those numbers include both government spending, like on the NHS or US Medicare and private spending.)

The NHS looks good compared to the broken American system. But it's a spendthrift compared to Singapore.

Healthcare outcomes in Singapore are no worse than in the US or UK.

See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Healthcare_in_Singapore for more information.

Continually re-open the ticket by responding to it by email and anything else you can and they eventually have a human check it.

> If that’s not an emergency, what is?

You know it's an emergency when the status quo is completely unacceptable and the government takes drastic measures (no more cars of any kind on the road, every physically able man/woman forced to work on whatever solution is chosen to help, that kind of thing - nothing close to what we're seeing today) with widespread support of the population.

You can't call it an emergency when no one would truly support emergency measures of the scale that would be enough to affect the climate (no, driving an electric car is not even close to helping if this was a true emergency - and I drive one myself).

> Governments are very good at making pronouncements but they are slow and often no more expert than the consumer. Consumers can correct their mistakes much faster than bureaucracies can.

Here in New Zealand we have some legislation called the consumer guarantees act. It’s gold, and has all sorts of gems. My favourite is that things I buy should last an amount of time commensurate with the price I paid.

For example, my iPhone was replaced at 3 years for a faulty home button and my Stihl saw had its motor replaced at 3 years. It’s amazing. I see the sort of warranties available in other countries and wince.

The author of that phase, and those that commented on issue at the time admitted they wasn't even programming during IE era. And falsely claim IE era as IE 7.....

Not only that. A lot of people actually quite like IE 5.5. I would even argue IE hate wasn't even because of enforcing its own standard ( Although that is certainly an issue ). It was because they conquered 95+% market share and stop innovating when there were insane amount of low hanging fruit and bugs.

But yeah. Most vocal engineers of today joined the industry in post iPhone era. One reason why Silicon Valley are full of people continue to reinvent the flat tire.
