If we accept that ChatGPT has a liberal perspective, consider this: ChatGPT was founded on the Internet. It reflects the perspectives it found there. To the degree that the Internet reflects the real world, any liberal aspect of ChatGPT reflects reality and is not a bias. It's truth.
It used to pose as a difficulty for self leaners because they did not have access to assignments, exams and solutions unless they register for classes.

Nowadays it's a lot easier when there are so many free materials from top school online. And stack exchange and reddit is available almost 24-7 if one ever has a question.
I was not very clear in that example. My intent was to use 'film-making' as a bit of an analogy for waterfall. IE: requirements are defined in the beginning and the end date is fixed. It would be a very different concept if after shooting each scene a potential audience could decide they want the whole thing up to that point to be re-done to tell a different story and that they want to change the ending every couple of weeks.

Scrum really jettisons a "final" date idea, which is something you have in movie-making. Scrum tries to optimize for reactiveness so that a correct product can be made, those potential changes in direction allowed by Scrum all add time to the final product being completed.

It's an interesting analogy I think overall because software development is viewed akin to construction of a building. On the spectrum of predictable schedules, movie making and construction are on the predictable sides of the spectrum, software development is way on the other side of that spectrum.

In short, when someone says "hey, in the real world we have things like 3 month deadlines. Using Scrum, we'll help ensure we hit that!". I just want to point out that Scrum is not a tool to help hit a 3 month deadline at all. It's just there to ensure that you don't commit to a 3 month deadline, build something that turns out to be the wrong thing and needs to be thrown away at that 3 month mark. It's actually a process to extend deadlines! Every 2 weeks you can get a change in direction that causes a one week (or more) of extra scope increase and/or churn or redoing previous work.

You could create a kind of "reverse" grandfather paradox by preventing future events predicted by the simulation from happening. Perhaps it could run fine up to the point that it has to simulate itself, then it would slow down to the point of becoming useless.

Because studies keep showing a no strings attached cash support is the best solution. They are not children. And you are making my point here that they are trying to do anything but solve the problem.

"You are poor" is not a medical diagnosis as much as "You are human" isn't.
it almost certainly is mutated at least some to further evade the vaccine. by the time the vaccine came out, COVID had already mutated enough to reduce the effectiveness of the vaccine. Which is why the original predictions that it would keep you from getting or spreading COVID turned out to be overstated. That's not to say it doesn't reduce the chances, but it seems likely as the virus continues to mutate, the effectiveness will reduce until it gets updated.

The furthest we can see is the physical limit of universe: we can literaly see thefirst photons after universe became transparent. That is the CMB (cosmic microwave background, and you can easily google a real picture). The problem is, while these are the oldest photons we will ever be able to see, they still are from when universe was cca 400 000 years old, and by that time it was 100 million lightyears wide. That picture tells us that the universe was extremely homogenous (altho not perfectly), and basically no such structures you talk about.

If we would like to see even further, we must give up on photons completely, and probably probe the ultra deep space gravitation waves. Those should give us picture even of completely opaque universe, as it was before then. So far we can only "see/hear" the brightest/loudest events in the universe with our gravitational waves observatories, but the fact we can even do that is astounding nontheless: we built a new sense for humanity, that no other known creature in the universe posses. LISA project should hear more.
Fish ladders aren't magic. Find a photo of a salmon at the end of its migration: exhausted and thin after all that work. A fish ladder is better than nothing at all, but a terrible "solution".

And in the end the real issue is ecological restoration, of which salmon are only a part. Fortunately the case is easy for these dams because the dams don't pay for themselves.

In general dams are pretty terrible, but like so many things can be worth the tradeoff. But the "worth" involves human life (e.g. wiping out the hetch hetchy valley so that people on the SF peninsula can have water). But when there's no clear benefit at all, the downsides (buildup of heavy metals behind the dam, damage to fish and other wildlife, earthquake risks....) are decisive.

You could just as well say that if Jobs hadn't decided that Apple should build the LaserWriter, Warnock would have ignited the DTP revolution with another computer company.

GEM and Windows were nibbling at the heels of Apple already. Then you had Sun and others at the high end. PostScript was so advanced that it was further ahead of the competition in its field than Apple was in the GUI market.

Evolution, geology, meteorology are just stamp collecting? They have their own explanatory models. Maybe they entirely reduce to extremely complicated physics, but we have no means of explaining them as such.
Depends on what you are trying to solve. If you don't like the fragmentations of dependencies on your system, this won't go away on a second machine. Also, I'd point you to hosted VS Code environments such as GitHubs code spaces or Gitpod.

You may use something that encapsulates your dev dependencies. Some use containers like docker, others use Nix (can be run on MacOS ).
As Nix has quite a steep learning curve, there are abstractions such as devenv or devbox, which I haven't used.

I live in Paris, a few meters from the busiest crossroad of the city, and my experience with scooters (even the best 4 stroke ones) is very, very different.
I learned perl around that time, and I thought it was awful. And just about everything about it: the parameter passing, the sigils that made BASIC look like Dijkstra's love child, the funky array/scalar coercion, and the bloody fact that it couldn't read from two files at once even though the docs suggested it should work. They didn't say so explicitly, because perl was pretty badly documented. My boss started writing object oriented perl, and that made perl unreadable even to perl experts.

AWK, on the other hand, is simplicity itself. Sure, it misses a few things, but for searching through log files or db dumps it's an excellent tool. And it's fast enough. If you really need much more speed, there are other tools, but I would rather rewrite it in C than try perl again.
All thise stressed and issues boil down to money and financial security though. Your and the authors' abstractions are making the problem worse because smart people who know the problem well are saying "oh no, it's more complicated than just money" so policy makers will wait for you/them to come up with some solution instead of just solving the obvious and simple problem.
The linked pull request says "After the expansion completes, old blocks remain with their old data-to-parity ratio (e.g. 5-wide RAIDZ2, has 3 data to 2 parity), but distributed among the larger set of disks". That'd mean that the disks do not contain the same data, but it is getting moved around?

Regardless, my entire point is that you still lose a significant amount of capacity due to the old data remaining as 3+2 rather than being rewritten to 4+2, which heavily disincentives the expansion of arrays reaching capacity - but that is the only time people would want to expand their array.

It just seems to me like they are spending a lot of effort on a feature which you frankly should not ever want to use.

The Debian install wizard is quite long and technical. I can see how Ubuntu (no more than a handful of questions) appeals.
Another commenter beat me to it but still: sh / bash / zsh are quite fine up until certain complexity (say 500 lines), after which adding even a single small feature becomes a huge drag. We're talking hours for something that would take me 10 minutes in Golang and 15 in Rust.
That's pretty fascinating. I was looking at off grid setups in Canada, but the issue there is that peak energy usage is during winter, which is also the time of the year with the lowest illumination and snow on solar panels. Having the ability to generate heat that way would keep the more scarce electricity for other uses that cannot use heat or mechanical energy as inputs.
Maximum Force – a limit and principle of nature
My point is that while there may be some broad commonality (with physics being a hyperbolic commonality in the example I gave), this does not mean that there are no differences and that we can always infer information about one from information about the other (though in some cases we can).
Or you could just rewrite the snapshots while you are at it.
I always enjoy the articles on this site.

I'd enjoy them a bit more if they didn't continually insinuate stuff about modern renewables that they clearly know not to be true due to the way they phrase it.

If people leave your article with misconceptions about modern renewables then that is a bad thing.
Lovely, but heat pumps can easily top 300% efficiency. If your electrical generation and transport is ~50% (which seems shockingly bad), you get a lot more heating from a heat pump than from direct mechanical heating.

This has been my frustration. If I don't bring my own domain knowledge, carefully review, and provide follow up prompts I get garbage output. Novices don't have great domain knowledge and likely overestimate the quality of the output. It's not worth the effort.

But I think it denies basic reptile-brain responses that are hard wired. Men can consciously fight those responses, but we can’t just make them go away, through training or legislation. Playboy didn’t build an empire because men love thinking about motherly love for babies.
Actually I’m ok with this. Forces users to link to primary news sources instead which makes communications much more effective and correct.
Right, which is sort of my point. 20 years ago, "everyone" knew perl, at least to the extent of knowing the standard idioms for different environments that you're talking about. And in that world, "everyone" would choose perl for these tasks, knowing that everyone else would be expert enough to read and maintain them. Perl was the natural choice.

And in a world where perl is a natural choice for these tasks, awk doesn't have a niche. Because at the end of the day awk is simply an inferior language.

Which is the bit I find funny: we threw out and forgot about a great tool, and now we think that the ancestral toy it replaced is a good idea again.

> This leads to a problem when e.g. taking i8 elements [3;7) and reinterpreting as an i32 array.

Even ignoring alignment issues, this is already UB because it violates the strict aliasing rule. You technically need to memcpy and hope that the compiler optimizes the memcpy out. In C++20 you can use std::bit_cast in some circumstances. https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/numeric/bit_cast. In C11 you can use a union, but that still requires a "copy" into the union.
My calculus 1 professor gave the advice that the best way to study is to do every problem in the book, then go and get another book and do every problem in that book, and keep doing that until you look at a problem and know exactly every step to do immediately.

Shell scripting is quite fine up until certain complexity (say 500-1000 lines), after which adding even a single small feature becomes a huge drag. We're talking hours for something that would take me 10 minutes in Golang and 15 in Rust.

Many people love to smirk and say "just learn bash properly, duh" but that's missing the point that we never do big projects in bash so our muscle memory of bash is always kind of shallow. And by "we" I mean "a lot of programmers"; I am not stupid, but I have to learn bash's intricacies every time almost from scratch and that's not productive. It's very normal for things to slip up from your memory when you're not using them regularly. To make this even more annoying, nobody will pay me to work exclusively with bash for 3 months until it gets etched deep into my memory. So there's that too.

I view OP as a good reminder that maybe universal-ish tools to get most of what we need from shell scripting exist even today but we aren't giving them enough attention and energy and we don't make them mainstream. Though it doesn't help that Golang doesn't automatically fetch dependencies when you just do `go run random_script.go`: https://github.com/golang/go/issues/36513

I am not fixating on Golang in particular. But IMO next_bash_or_something should be due Soon™. It's not a huge problem to install a single program when provisioning a new VM or container either so I am not sure why are people so averse to it.

So yeah, nice article. I like the direction.

I remember my first time trying to install Debian, being a total noob to the whole thing. I thought parts of the installer were broken, because I couldn't toggle TUI checkboxes. Every time I tried, the installer would instead jump to the next screen.

Years later, I figured out that you're supposed to use the spacebar to select/toggle UI elements, not the Enter key. Nobody told me that, and the text-mode installer certainly doesn't tell you!

Ubuntu 11.04, on the other hand, was no trouble to install.

PDF on small handheld devices, or most landscape-oriented desktop screens, is suboptimal.

What I've found over going on three years using a large-format (13.3") e-ink tablet, however, is that PDFs oriented toward documents from roughly octavo to A4 / US Letter formats is what I strongly prefer to free-flowing formats, most especially HTML, but also ePub, so long as the PDFs are sensibly formatted.

Free-flowing formats end up requiring scolling, critical elements (tables, graphics, and images) frequently span viewport boundaries requiring repositioning, and font choices and rendering are often poorer than for PDFs.

It turns out that book and standard paper formats evolved toward the sizes we're accustomed to because they suit the ergonomics of reading and handling well. Mobile phones' core constraint is to fit into a pocket or purse, which tends to be smaller than a full-form book or magazine. It's not so much that PDFs are ill-suited to them as that mobile phones are poor formats for reading full stop.

Yes, PDFs can be poorly formatted and all that jazz, but so can HTML docs (and far more frequently), or ePubs. My principle remaining complaint is that tools for organising and managing a substantial electronic document library are ... exceedingly poor, in most cases. Though that's independent of the document format used.

Dealing with Close-Mindedness (2006)
I don't get upset: I get stuck. Then I get upset; or I just dissociate, depending on how depressed I am at that moment.

If a task expects too much executive functioning from my ADHD brain, I literally cannot complete the task.

Of course, that sounds a lot more binary than it is: my executive functioning is a product of complex neurochemical interactions. The right balance of medication might give me enough stimulation to do the thing. Stress and adrenaline might give me enough stimulation to do the thing. I might be able to get started, but get stuck halfway through. All I can say for certain (predictably) is that my brain naturally lives below that stimulation threshold.

Years of living without medication (I was diagnosed in my late 20s) left my brain to create habits that try (and fail) to compensate. The main habit I have recognized is an obsession with objectivity: if I could just think about the problem enough to factor out the work, then I wouldn't need to do anything! The result is a collection of knowledge and understanding that isn't tied to experience or achievement. I'm still trying to get the hang of action: moving toward a goal.

Most people can't even imagine what I'm going through. For them, inconvenience is just something they live through. For me, inconvenience is the walls of an endless maze. I would very much like to leave.

Not sure this works for everyone. Anecdotal evidence, but I always hated watching conventionally "funny" stuff (media created for the purpose of getting a laugh response, like comedy movies), but I believe my sense of humour is OK, both on receiving end and when joking myself.

I'm a programmer, not a psychologist, so I don't know what exactly gives one a sense of humour, but it can't be just a learned skill acquired by watching others.
Did you miss the little detail that elephants, buffalo, and whales were hunted to the brink of extinction to a degree that the populations probably will never fully recover, and same happened with logging of ebonies and other valuable tree-species, both exotic and domestic.

Even back then the demand far surpassed sustainable extraxtion levels, and human population has since grown by almost an order of magnitude.

There is nothing trivial in these problems.
