I was looking around for news about the current state of operations at JET when I found this article https://physicsworld.com/a/ignition-pending/ which repeatedly muddles fusion power research and fusion weapons research.

Anyway, in recent years at JET they have been doing a new round of deuterium-tritium experiments. The interior of the reactor has been refurbished with tungsten and beryllium inner surfaces, like ITER will have, and they have been testing longer reaction pulses.

As a locus for philosophy i.e. asking questions with no possible final answer I find Spinoza a great starting point for (modern western) philosophy.

A distinction needs to be made between his later reception (18th century to now) and his influence during his times in the 17th century.
His later reception is much charaterized by talking/writing about his works in terms of influence. As with other works (Newtons's Principia, Kant's Critique or Wittgenstein's Tractatus come to mind) with some inital investment required by the reader very few actually read his works in its whole context; e.g. Nietzsche probably only read an introduction to Spinoza's philosophy by Kuno Fischer [0].

Spinoza's work (especially Ethics) can be seen as systematic dismantlement of the all pervading scholastic thinking of his time which already suffered heavy losses by prominent brilliant minds as Francis Bacon ("Empiricism") or Descartes' ("Rationalism"). Exceptional in the Classics he was casting his radical thinking in Ethics into the form of Euclid's "Elements"; back then - arguably the most accomplished kind of reasoning: strictly deducting from evident truths (axioms). [1]

At the time the impression of someone reading the forbidden "Ethics" must have been something like: throwing a half-assed Cartesian Dualism in its own black hole and emerge with an undeniable singularity, later coined by Raphson as "Pantheism".

This vantage point totally freed from any remnants of scholastic shackles allowed for a livley discourse e.g. the pantheism controversy [2] in Germany about a century later and I guess also a deeper appreciation for Eastern philosophy (see: Schopenhauer).

Its influence on psychoanalysis is not as widely covered, this book I find an accessible introduction to Spinoza in this regard [3].

There are two useful lessons from the Titanic that can apply to software:

1) Marketing that you are super duper and special is meaningless if you've actually built something terrible (the Titanic was not even remotely as unsinkable as claimed, with "water tight" compartments that weren't actually watertight)

2) When people below you tell you "hey we are in danger", listen to them. Don't do things that are obviously dangerous and make zero effort to mitigate the danger. The danger of atlantic icebergs was well understood, and the Titanic was warned multiple times! Yet the captain still had inadequate monitoring, and did not slow down to give the ship more time to react to any threat.

LBSTs are pretty rare, too. :) Re: symmetry reasoning troubles, another benefit is that it enforces the symmetry algebraically rather than relying on code edits maintaining it (& multiplying it). As to DRY vs. reducing abstraction aka explicitness, I favor the former but, yeah, people are indeed passionate in both directions. E.g., see Java. :-)

Along that abstraction line, it perhaps bears emphasizing that it is not all subjective. E.g., being able to have 1-byte or 2-byte pointers can really shrink the per node space overhead from 16B to 2..4B, possibly total node size from 20B to 8B for a 4B payload (like a float32) or 2.5x overall space saving, an objective and interesting amount that might well keep a working set resident in faster memory. Indeed, even allowing any number of bits like 20 bits*2 is thinkable. Of course, that limits the number of nodes to the address space of the numbers, but that can be ok (such as inside 1 B-tree node or when populations are elsewise easily bounded). But then you pretty much must abstract "allocation/dereferencing" as done in that generic C package or analogously. (Others elsethread were discussing memory overheads vs. B-trees, but not at this API level and more related to tree/indirection depth in uncached worst cases.)

Anyway, I just thought that package might provide color along some other less traveled roads in this space..was not trying to direct or redirect your own effort. It's a nice write up of what you have so far.

"depends on the person harassed FEELING harassed."

That's my point bud. You don't believe in the 1st amendment, that's the problem, not the interpretation of the law. You cannot have free speech and have a law that bases prison time on subjective FEELINGS by the victim. You cannot be that dumb, therefore you're malicious in intent and gaslighting me. You're an authoritarian and anti-1st amendment and that's why this is hard for you to understand. There's no "twisting" going on other than your belief system.

The irony here is you're just proving what I originally said every time you comment. Free speech rights are no longer respected and you're just living proof of the trend.

Welfare in the 21st Century (2020)
I have picked it up from a variety of resources. One is the Origins of Life course on Complexity Explorer: https://www.complexityexplorer.org/courses/155-origins-of-li...

Basically, as my understanding goes, life is effectively as old as the Earth is. As soon as it cooled down after forming and had liquid oceans, life started, which happened just a few hundred million years after Earth formed.

There is the book Every Life is on Fire as well, describing how life began to dissipate heat in the environment of molecules in water being heated. That seems to imply life will quickly start in such conditions. (Note: I don't strongly recommend the book, as it has a lot of religious stuff in it and honestly isn't that well written, and I have mainly learned about the author's theory elsewhere.)

I get what you mean. That will really depend on where you get the oil from. Some places need a lot more downstream processing (looking at alberta oil sands) to get something useable than others (the middle east).

Whether you want to consider that analogous to the electrolysis step or to another one is not clear since the processes don't map one to one.
You have to convince your stakeholders that further investment is worth it. But I also think that the "go big or go home" strategy comes from seriously messed-up incentives. It might be justified if the margin is very low or if aquiring a big user base for other purposes is the actual goal.
Not sure why you are being downvoted. Most of those home dehumidifiers don't have any user serviceable parts outside of a paper filter. Even inspecting the components would require a laborious disassembly of the device the manufacturer never intended.
> the prospective customer

Yes, all this is just a roundabout way of viewing the prospective customer as a narrow slice of people, the ones who happen to conform to a specific set of ideas about what 'normal' means. If the prospective customer happens to be remarkably similar to the startup founder, perhaps it says more about the attitudes of what constitutes a viable market than it does about really developing a useful product. It reflects a certain homogeneity of ideas about 'prospective customer', and reinforces a homogeneity of options.

Fontconfig in Linux (and maybe in everything that uses it) lets you do some cool things as disabling fonts, rather than uninstall them. I found this trick somewhere several years ago (and shared it the other day on reddit) but am still using against the Noto font family that is required by some programs, so they won't show up nor clog the font selection dialogs.

Just putting something like

<?xml version='1.0'?>
<!DOCTYPE fontconfig SYSTEM 'fonts.dtd'>

<rejectfont>
<glob>/usr/share/fonts/noto/*</glob>
</rejectfont>
</selectfont>

in any new file under /etc/fonts/conf.d/ will do the trick.

> The ability to suddenly boost the efficiency of our electrical grids by 8-15% would not solely solve the problems our species currently causes for itself, but it would help a ton.

That's far from clear. If our grids are 8-15% more efficient and the cost of electricity falls accordingly, it will boost demand and we may end up needing more power plants than we otherwise would have. If the goal is to reduce the consumption of a resource, making its consumption more efficient is often counterproductive (see [1,2,3]). Granted, if the alternative is burning fossil fuel then it's a good thing! But once electricity becomes more economical than fossil fuels for all uses, making it even cheaper is not going to help the biosphere. And I think that's probably going to happen before we have a room temperature superconductor that can be used in power transmission.
