Our industry rewards grifters and/or rent seekers much more than it does true innovation.

The worthwhile innovation that does happen skirts all the rules and guns for illegal monopoly, wearing it as a badge of honor. Too twisted for my taste.

Good for you. I believe that's a privilege one has to be able to throw hands and say "it really is what it is". That's totally alright if one is aware that it's a privilege. I assume no malice over your comment, but to even discourage discussion on wealth inequality is awful.

Headline is borderline clickbait. The article is about fine particulate pollution from tire and break wear, which is not the kind of "air pollution" most people are concerned about when we use the term.

From a microplastics perspective is it something we should be trying to deal with?

Unquestionably.

But the conversations around electrification are all about greenhouse gas emissions, and frankly, that's the more immediate problem we should be concerning ourselves with.
Companies that doesn’t offer WFH will simply be less competitive in the jobs market. It’s that simple. I will personally never apply for a non-WFH job ever again. And I know I am not the only one.

Relaxing HVAC usage such that the temperature increases from 75F to 78F, and then is lowered back to 75F saves energy compared with holding it at 75F. The max temperature can't be too high because the system might need hours to lower the temperature by 3 degrees. e.g. A family leaves at 7 a.m. AC turns off. The high temperature is reached around 1 p.m. Cooling resumes at 2:30 p.m. so it can hit the target temperature by 5 p.m.

I only know of two mechanisms that could make holding a temperature more efficient. Heat pumps in winter time should be left to maintain a temperature. If it is well below freezing outside the heat pump may need to fallback to a secondary mechanism of resistive heating. Therefore it's better to not setback the temperature immediately when the home is unoccupied. Variable speed fans on higher end furnaces use less energy at lower RPM, so running a system at full effect requires more power.

You can’t experience a culture until you leave it. When you’re in it, it’s just water. That’s why travel is interesting.
Healthcare workers is a much larger group compared to healthcare CEOs though. A few billions divided between a few CEOs is not the same as trillions diluted among tens of millions of workers.
As I noted, when I listen to FM radio (in the US at least) there is no specific royalty paid to the copyright holder for the sound recording (such as the record company), or even to the artist – only to the songwriter (or whoever holds the songwriting rights.)

This can sometimes have surprising effects[1].

Confusingly enough, in the US at least, the same radio program will incur different royalty requirements depending on whether it is broadcast via terrestrial radio, satellite radio, or internet radio.

This is how the banking app my team built works -- on Android/iOS devices a hardware-backed keypair is generated and when a login is needed, the keychain is unlocked using local biometrics to perform a signing operation which authenticates the user.

There's a bit more to it than that because we support remote attestation, and you only get a read-only token until you've performed remote attestation (which generally happens quickly).

edit: The authentication results in a short-lived token (5m), a refresh token (20m), but can be re-authenticated with the keypair challenge at any time.

I used to work in energy policy and you won't be surprised to know that the national labs have already modeled this: https://greet.es.anl.gov

While most Americas say there is too much economic inequality in the US, there are other issues that they are much more concerned about:

1. Making health care more affordable

2. Dealing with terrorism

3. Reducing gun violence

4. Addressing climate change

5. Reducing income inequality

6. Reducing illegal immigration

And #6 is quite telling in the context of income inequality.

I used to be a land surveyor, so when I watch Raiders of the Lost Ark and Indiana Jones computes the distance from the floor of the Map Room and then is shown finding the burial place of the Ark of the Covenant using a theodolite on a tripod, I just couldn't believe Spielberg didn't have a guy to whisper in his ear and tell him no, that actually can't be done accurately from ancient Egyptian measurements.
There's a series of books about a female protagonist named Rifkind. In one of the books, a guy who is crushing on her and has been magically trapped in a tower for years gives her a flower made from some magical morphing material and when she takes it and looks at it, it becomes dramatically better, showing to both of them that she had much greater familiarity with the type of flower in question than he had.

He was trying to be romantic but didn't actually know what the flower looked like in any real detail.

I guess good fiction requires a lot of research to maintain suspension of disbelief, perhaps more than writing about reality.
The kernel userspace APIs are pretty stable, the APIs provided by the rest of what constitutes a complete Linux "operating system" are not. I've ended up using a lot of hacks and tricks to get some early Linux games running on modern systems. Some applications designed for X still have broken features in Wayland, and likely won't be fixed without new versions of said apps because making Wayland compatible would break the entire security model.

It's generally not a huge issue in Linux, because most of the software you use day to day is open source and probably maintained. The real problem children, across all operating systems, is proprietary video games. They're closed source, unmaintained, and their cultural value makes them highly desired targets for ongoing compatibility and preservation.
reality has a liberal bias!

This is so bad. The worst of us all, but fun to read about the brinksmanship. The worst line for me was:

“From the founders' perspective, they had a clear stop-loss in place if things didn't work out” with the “stop-loss” being that “[t]he React site would be functional and performant in 6 weeks, and ship in 10. If it didn't, I would step down and recruit a replacement.” It’s just such a horrible thing to put on people, and is in no way a real stop loss.

So things failed, and now we lost our chief engineer, and who knows if they will “recruit a replacement” when they are either gone or on their way out, and recruiting leadership can take so long it’s such a crapshoot. THAT is a “clear stop-loss” to this person? Big oof.

It’s just such bad framing and bad ultimatums and bad people all around that I feel like I’m watching trash tv — and I love it.
How does that work? First-come, first-serve?

Most social media platforms do not offer a discernible mechanism for trafficking in accounts, e.g. transfer them between owners for a certain cost.

I'm not sure why not.

I've seen many MMOGs that experience a thriving account-sales business, whether it's licit or not (it's almost never licit.) People will absolutely level up chars and buy cool stuff and put gold on them and then sell off a tricked-out character at a tidy profit.

It seems domain name registrars have a good handle on this sort of market, so to speak. If social media did it too, then perhaps people wouldn't be butt-hurt when someone else takes their handle, if they are handsomely compensated.
A programmer can use this and get right up to speed, I would call this a huge cheat sheet
Here is an interview with a former vice president of research at TSMC (and later SMIC).

I encourage you to read the interview in its entirety. It is illuminating.

On the question of of bringing up a new process node:

"We all take two years to develop one generation, how come you guys can do it in one or one-and-a-half year?" And they asked if some of your customer transfer technology to you or what not? And I told him, "No," I told him that, "That's not true." I think he probably implied we steal technology from customer, the way he talk.

And I say, "I'll tell you why." I said that, "When we develop one node, basically you have some learning cycles. First, you do some simulation. And you have some idea, then you run wafers to prove that. So, you run a group of wafers according to simulation and you have some splits. The wafer runs through the fab, they come out and you measure them, you analyze them, and you try to improve and you run this again. This again, you run. So, this is learning cycle." At that time, "It takes about six learning cycle, roughly, to complete one generation." Of course, you had some short loops and not just one. I said that, "My R&D wafer in the fab run much faster than yours, because my R&D engineer works three shifts and you only work one shift. So, your R&D wafer move eight hours a day, my work/move 24-hours a day. So, my wafers go three times faster, even if you are twice smarter than me, I still beat you up." <laughter>

The article misses the biggest reason why batteries (and EVs) are so heavy: it's because the cars themselves are heavy [0].

The article notes "Passenger vehicles already got around 35% heavier between 1980 to 2022" but doesn't note that this is despite the material we make cars out of getting lighter and thinner. Cars have gotten enormous and enormous cars take enormous (and therefore heavy) batteries to get equivalent range out of.

My own website is a kind of hybrid SSR/SPA in PHP. Navigating pages with JS enabled (JS is entirely optional) seamlessly updates the relevant DOM nodes with an AJAX call (and uses the history API etc), but going to a page fresh is entirely PHP.

It was fun to write. Relevant code is here:

I actually uncovered a niche bug across multiple browsers with this PHP code.

If a homeless person said "you're a loser and a failure! You disgust me!", would you really care? I think not.

Unless what they're saying is actually true, well then that's up to you. I've been a bit fat before. A few people, friends and my mother, called me out on it. It was a helpful reminder that other people see it too. Now I'm not longer fat. Now, if they kept saying it to me daily... I'd think "ok these people are just being mean spirited.. that's not a good person.. and I don't care what mean spirited people have to say because they'll always find something."

I think it's a skill worth learning, instead of reminding both victims and their abusers that the words do matter. It hurts the victims more and empowers the abusers.

Okay, so it is a clickbait title that “disproves” the claim.

The bigger issue, in my opinion, is what about all the energy needed to recharge the batteries? Last I checked, most of that still comes from fossil fuels.

In addition, what about the environmental impact of mining lithium and other minerals to produce the cars? This article goes into that a bit:

https://therevelator.org/ev-batteries-seabed-mining/

I think there is a non-zero chance that when all is said and done, electric vehicles actually are worse for the environment than fuel powered vehicles.

There is also so much we don’t know. I feel like in one way or another, human efforts to “solve” climate change will ultimately be what leads to our extinction. Whether that is trying to send things into space to block out the sun, or mining oceans for rare metals to use to make batteries. Fun fact, the oceans actually suck up a huge amount of carbon dioxide. It would be pretty fitting if human mining efforts at the bottom of the ocean throw that balance entirely out of whack.

This is one of the problems with government mandates related to electric vehicles. All of the metrics they use to measure success are based on emissions while driving, but that is only one small part of the picture.
"Learn" is meaningless with cheatsheets like this. There's much more to a language than its syntax, and I'm afraid that's the part one can't have a cheatsheet for.

For this reason, I never tried LXiYM for Common Lisp/Racket/Clojure because actually lisping in those languages involves a new way of thinking, not knowing a new notation.
I think the general opinion would be, to borrow from King Louis’ Head (by way of Alexander Hamilton, as imagined by Lin-Manuel Miranda): “Do what you want, I’m super dead”.

Though, among those regarded as Founding Fathers, that might be most particularly the view of Thomas Jefferson, who wrote: “On similar ground it may be proved that no society can make a perpetual constitution, or even a perpetual law. The earth belongs always to the living generation. They may manage it then, and what proceeds from it, as they please, during their usufruct. They are masters too of their own persons, and consequently may govern them as they please. But persons and property make the sum of the objects of government. The constitution and the laws of their predecessors extinguished them, in their natural course, with those whose will gave them being. This could preserve that being till it ceased to be itself, and no longer. Every constitution, then, and every law, naturally expires at the end of 19 years. If it be enforced longer, it is an act of force and not of right.” (Letter to James Madison, Paris, Sep. 6, 1789)
Prediction: this will be rolled back. The ability to block people is what made twitter somewhat usable, if you're forcing people to interact with their stalkers that a very stupid and potentially dangerous move.

For almost any arguments against systemd, you can replace "systemd" with "linux kernel" and it still will be a valid argument, yet I have not seen many opponents of linux kernel on these grounds.

As an example: monolith, single project, includes a lot of functionality that should be separate, invents conventions, crash takes down all system...

Yet nobody in my memory has gone "kernel includes JIT compiler, let us boycott"
No, since engines aren't perfect and wastes propellant. Also fuel boils off in space.
Jeff - did you look into constructing the front & rear walls so they wouldn't be parallel to each other? This reduces standing waves. Radio studios do a similar thing where a window into the production booth will be dual-pane glass, but with one of the panes slanted so that sound waves bounce at an angle and don't impact the other pane as strongly.

Of course, by now you're probably already past that point in construction and are choosing paint colors...
The problem I have here with your statement, is you have no idea what your definition even entails energy/entropy wise. Just defining the axioms here will take much more time and energy than we have until the sun blows up.

Then the combinatorial explosions of ought conditions to step your simulation forward means you'll need Grahams number of time/entropy.
Yes, because times are tough and startups need to focus on serious customers.

I am aware of the examples you were referring to. My point is that your examples are extreme given the context of the discussion. So far, the discussion has been focused solely on executive pay: nobody is talking about the proletariat tearing down capitalism.

As far as examples go, there are countless instances of revolutions - esp. those targeting monarchies - that brought clear, long-term (relative) prosperity to the average citizen.

Abseil or folly both have optimized hashtables, I believe. Rust's standard HashMap follows the same design. It involves SIMD to look for a bucket whose hash matches the query's so redoing it in C every time you need a hash table will be quite impractical.

I'm talking about when you work for the same company as the CEO. Your comp and theirs has to come out the same available budget.
In your world, the healthcare industry should have the highest profit margins because it saves lives. But in the real world, the healthcare industry has the highest profit margins because it lets people suffer and die. How did we get here?

What is more important than your life! Hey, you're bleeding out right now! Sign this contract where you pay me everything or we won't treat you.

Capitalism only works if you have the option of shopping around, if there is competition. If you're dying, then the first ambulance to reach you get to charge you whatever they like - and they do. And they can take you to an ER where doctors can charge whatever they like - and they do.

So, hey, let's introduce insurance! Now, the purchase decision is separated from the crisis.

Except the goal of the insurance CEO is to maximize profit. No different than any other business. And they do that by not paying for things. Denied. Denied. Denied. And if they can't deny, then they can insist on cost caps.

And of course, the ambulance and ER doctors don't like caps, and so they all leave the "network", and can charge you what they want. And they do!

And the insurance CEOs don't like that and so they say that if you use an out-of-network doctor then they don't cover you, or they cover you even less.

And they pay Trump and Republicans money to pass a law that says, actually they can sell you insurance that doesn't cover anything (if you read the fine print)!

So then maybe you decide that you need a single payer system like the UK, but then the rich people decide that they don't want to pay for the poor people, so they pay the government officials (or they are the government officials) to cut spending and cut spending and now no doctor wants to be a doctor and they can do quite well in a private system or leaving the country.

I think the fundamental problem with your statement is that there is no such thing as a "properly functioning economy". There is only human greed, tribalism and psychopathy.
