The cost still matters because if the losses cost less to replace than the superconducting material costs to install, no one will use it. So parents point still stands. It doesn't matter how high the electrical efficiency is, what matters is cost efficiency.

Safe/unsafe aren't binary in this case. It doesn't flip from 0 to 1 just because he drove an extra 20 minutes.

The "unsafety" of driving was non-zero all along, and the longer he goes without a rest break make it climb ever so higher. Saying that this factor was safe when it was 0.9000 but as soon as it rolled over to 0.9001 it was unsafe is asinine.

Likely, enforcing such a rest stop could make it more unsafe... if after the rest he was in a hurry to head home, or groggy from an impromptu nap, or even if driving or lighting conditions had changed.

> If he wants to get home, he can move closer or find another route.

Neither of these are practical, in the "completely unachievable in the real world by real people" meaning of the word.

It’s interesting we hear the terms “bail out” when connected with how the US managed major institutional collapse. However from what I experienced on the street during these “bail outs,” Lehman, Bear, SVB, First Republic no longer exist. Their assets were salvaged and remaining functional assets acquired. The fed, treasury, and other institutions involved in the bailout ended up making handsome profits from the reperformance of the distressed assets they pulled into their balance sheets.

The only bail out was for the global participants, not just banks but everyone with an asset that depends on the orderly function of the financial system even during periods of distress. “Tax payers” paid nothing, and benefited from the recovery from the disorderly Lehman collapse and the credit squeeze that caused. There’s a lot of speculation that the relatively mild inflation the US experienced post pandemic was due to all the QE and other moves the government and governmental bodies did, as well as pandemic stimulus. I’ve yet to see the effects clearly disentangled from the systemic breakdown of logistics during the pandemic which have only fairly recently ironed out. Certainly all the cheap cash caused some inflation, but what a small price to pay compared to what everyone faced.

I think the issue with the situation in China is the assets held by these investment vehicles are never going to reperform. They’re piles of paper and empty buildings rotting with no present or future purpose. They’ve sucked up immense amounts of public money passed through the system in various ways into fake investments, and their value will simply evaporate leaving behind a desperate situation - cities and town throughout China burdened with useless infrastructure. It’s been brewing since at least 2007. But it doesn’t start and end with real estate - there are enormous infrastructure projects and bad international loans sprawling the planet that under scrutiny won’t stand up. Chinese credit spreads, where they are priceable, will have to blow up, and where they aren’t the opaque risks will sew structural and systemic lack of confidence.

I hope China can navigate whatever unwinding has to happen, and I sincerely hope it doesn’t devolve into political and social instability fueling geopolitical strawman conflicts to distract from domestic problems. While I really wish China could find a way to let its people be actually free, I don’t think a multipolar world is necessarily a bad thing. An ascendant China as more than a factory floor for the west provides a good opportunity for trade and competition, spurring growth and innovation everywhere.

I feel we're the reverse of the Americans in some ways, from what I understand their TV news is completely rabid in the same way our tabloids are but their newspapers are relatively level-headed whereas our TV news (particularly from the BBC) is pretty level-headed but our newspapers are just raw, unverified polemics probably the most toxic in any free country.

In my mind, the difference between errors-as-values and exceptions is most useful when describing domain-specific errors and other issues that you have to handle in support of the domain/problem space. To me, domain errors make sense as errors-as-values, but your database being unreachable is unrelated to the domain and makes sense as an exception.

> another example is where you are trying to fetch a file or database record that does not exist

I think this depends on whether or not you expect the file/record to exist. Handling a request from a user where the user provided the id used for lookup? The lookup itself is validation of the user input. But if you retrieved a DB record that has a blob name associated with it and your blob storage says that a blob doesn't exist by that name? I find that to be a great situation for an exception.

The errors-or-exception line is fuzzy and going to be dependent on your team and the problems you're solving, but I've found that it's a decent rule of thumb.

A new programming language based on "mutable value semantics" has been renamed from Val to Hylo. It was a frequent complaint that the former name was too similar to other existing languages like V, Vala, and Vale. Mutable value semantics is a new way to efficiently pass around data structures without having explicit references/pointers present in the language and complicating semantics. Pointers are basically relegated to a status of a possible optimization that the compiler can perform at the assembly level.

But yes, it is very, very different. With an exception, which does achieve a similar effect of stopping further execution right there and then, you need to throw the exception and you need to check it. With dataflow, all you have to do is nothing.

And exceptions are quite a tricky and heavyweight mechanism. What about the intermediate code? Does it need to run despite the exception? Will it just swallow the exception instead of passing it on? You can just pass the final error handler in and set it on the filter and there is no trickiness.

And of course without the exception, there is a lot of code that needs to do error handling despite not really being involved. This becomes really, really noticeable when your async code is handled using callbacks. You just get two sets of callback everywhere. Just having the code be synchronous would be better, but with dataflow the whole issue just evaporated.

I guess I think of highly parallel CPU-bound work as being fundamentally against the ethos of Python, which is to be a scripting/glue language on top of native extensions. Thus anything (like GIL removal) that makes it harder to write native extensions is harmful.

Even if the GIL is removed, the task you’re talking about would be dozens of times slower in Python than in a better-suited language, so why not write it in C++ or Rust and then call into that from Python?

I could be wrong or missing something, and I’m not a Python developer so I don’t really have a dog in the fight, but I just wanted to try to explain where some of the criticism is coming from.

Excess Retinol concentrations do not reduce the rate of base transcription error, nor do they prevent passive oxidative stress.

What they do is preempt extra-environmental stress and the resultant write error. This is less protective and more avoidive.

IE, if you have less Retinol then you are genetically optimized for you will accrue slightly more oxidative stress as a result of your deficiency. Supplements can prevent this particular stress by alleviating deficiency, but they can't reduce it beyond whatever your base rate is.

I just want to give an anecdote here, because I love your comment and share your views.

So I live semi-rural and it's hard to fathom how much plastic comes off disintegrated blue tarpaulins. Occasionally I've tried to dispose of them if I find them abandoned, I have a technique now where I cover them with a thick polyester bag before disturbing them because oh my god, the amount of fiber that comes of them is absolutely disgusting.

They should be banned and anyone selling them receives heavy fines.

What's more annoying is they're often used for the most useless, superficial tasks, like covering machinery (very easy to build a small shed instead), covering firewood, covering a shed before it's knocked down etc. There are just other ways to achieve the same result, hell even using tin to cover things is pretty cheap and easy way to keep rain off wood.

One of my neighbor had one covering some firewood and it was absolutely insane how polluted our field was with the shredded pieces. I hated it so I removed it with his permission and excavated the top layer of soil and had it incinerated at a proper facility so it didnt end up in nearby waterways.

Let's assume that in V1 your command has 2 options: start and stop. Thanks to Abbrev, your user take in the habit of calling "$command sta" and "$command sto" respectively. It all works. They start relying on that in scripting.

Then out comes V1.1. This should be a non-breaking release that simply adds the status command. Despite only adding a new command, you break the workflow of your users: "$command sta" does not work anymore because of the ambiguity.

I'm about 20 years into my career as a self-taught software engineer. I mostly work with companies that only hire out of MIT, Cornell, Stanford, Waterloo, etc.

By and large my experience with these graduates is that their awareness of the field does not extend much beyond what they learned in school and what the current hype technology is (today it's ML). If you got enormously lucky, they worked or interned somewhere special and were able to expand their skillset.

Consistently, the absolute best developers I've worked with tend to be self taught and especially people with Computer Music degrees. It turns out that learning DSP is a skill that pays huge dividends elsewhere in this field. I've also worked with CompSci Ph.D.s that can't build their way out of a wet paper bag.

As far as the degree programs go though, Waterloo is excellent. I would even say above the rest. Even MIT. I am consistently impressed with their graduates that I've had the privilege to work with.

And as for my own journey, I have my weak spots. I also tend to read more papers and technical books than most of my peers by a significant margin. I think that's my edge.

Does it do this?

From https://github.com/zyedidia/micro#quick-install-script

Quick-install script

curl https://getmic.ro | bash

The script will place the micro binary in the current directory.
From there, you can move it to a directory on your path of your choosing
(e.g. `sudo mv micro /usr/bin`).

It points out you need `sudo` to move the binary to `/usr/bin` - if that's even what you want to do - but... yeah? So?
I am an outsider in this conversation (in the last 40 years 95% of my Lisp work used Common Lisp, 5% some Scheme dialect). I do have a recent frustration experience that is relevant though: last year I was thinking of making a serious effort to use Chez Scheme more and I hit a minor roadblock trying to find a library to UUENCODE text. Maybe I was just having a bad morning, but it was frustrating. The Racket language had a ready to use library but I really wanted to use Chez.

Meta makes (revenue) ~25 billion a year from EU. Very crudely compensating for Norway vs EU population (~5 vs 450 million), you'd estimate ~250-300 million revenue per year from Norway.

36M USD per year then works out to like 10-15% of yearly revenue. Meta reports overall operating margin in the 20-30% range, so 10-15% revenue loss is significant, but not immediately deadly... which seems to match the stated intent of Norwegian authorities.
